Something feels off in the WWII set to me also. Noticed it most in Tempest and Pony, Jug seems little effected though :headscratch:.
tempest and pony seeming uber as always to me. although with the p51D i was used to the 8 eny version last year not the uber uber 5 eny now in the game so maybe im just feeling more powerful in its cockpit... i love the 350mph flaps. i missed alot over the year i was gone
I am in need of a new epic quote

That's still a 12% difference, but it's inconclusive.

What about going to the TA and diving down one of those steep mountains keeping it parallel to the side?  Start the timer right when you get to the edge and stop the timer when the speed dial hits 500 or 550.

After a few hours of sleep, I did some more testing.
This time I compared 218.4 to 214.1 (my 213 had a bugged film viewer  :furious)

All tests made in Pony D, 6 gun version, 50% fuel, FB 0, same base for takeoff

Ground acceleration 0-100 mph: no difference
Level flight acceleration @500ft 150-350 mph: no difference

Dive acceleration: To reduce pilot error, I used autoclimb. Speed set to 400mph. Climbed to 10K, shut engine. When speed fell to 200 mph, I engaged autoclimb. Noted time to 300 & 400 mph.
Result: No difference.

Any chance you could get a pot of coffee brewing and test the Me262?   :pray

I'll skip the coffee (don't drink that disgusting stuff anyway) and will do the 262 immediately :)
