K4 is easy mode vs. K4 is a symbol of courage

[Tank-Ace]

For German and US aircraft, its not heat-based, its just a matter of running out laughing gas or water mixture to inject into the cylinders.

The P-51D used water-injection IIRC, and so it too should have a set limit on WEP time. I think its the same for most if not all US fighters, though I'm not 100% sure.

The UK just ramped up the boost pressure on the superchargers, and I have no idea how the Japanese or Russians did it.

P-51B and D had a Merlin.  They use the same method the RAF used on their Merlins, higher boost settings.  The Allisons in the P-38s, P-39s, P-40s and P-51s also simply used higher boost settings.

[GScholz]

And the same with most German aircraft in this game. Only the 109G-14 and K-4 have MW50; the other 109s don't. The Dora and the Ta152 are the only 190s with MW50, although the A-8 has C-3 injection, but that's just fuel.

Hmmm.... Could've sworn the US used a water injection system  .



And Scholz, doesn't our 152 also have the GM-1 system as well?

P-47(later) and P-63 used water injection.

[GScholz]

F4U-4 also used water injection, and yes, the Ta152 also uses GM1, but not with MW50. It uses MW50 at the lower altitudes and GM1 at very high altitudes. It's the only NOS equipped plane in the game.

"NOS" is an abbreviation of the company name "nitrous oxide systems".

Oh I thought it meant "new old stock"

NOS . . .

No wonder I fell in love.

Sooo...did the TA 152 have "Mugen Power" with Asian lettering stickers on it, along with the blue "NOS" with the "S" having an arrow on it sticker as well?  How about a big 3 foot high wing on TOP of the rudder, coil over springs on the landing gear, ridiculously loud subwoofer for the radio, and a pair of little blue LED lights on the engine cowling?

[GScholz]

Everyone knows stickers add horsepower! And ridiculous large rims with tires only pained on.

Back in 2004 I totally riced out my 109G-2...

No water injection on P-51s... The only USAAF fighters to employ water injection (ADI) were the P-47s. Late C and early D models were field modified and later D versions had it factory installed.

[Tank-Ace]

Hmmm.... I know I've read somewhere the P-51 used water injection. Have to find which book it is and mark that part as incorrect.


So would our D-25 be water-injected? Or would that be more in the D-30 range?
