Okay stat and knowledge junkies
« on: May 21, 2013, 01:30:59 AM »
From 30k, what plane can get to the deck the fastest? Jug, 190, F4U, tiffy, or 51.
I'm thinking F4U but
I'm not all that sure. As all of them compress, some sooner and some later than otherrs.

Depends, which one is Chalenge piloting and which one is Hoagi piloting?

Spitfire has the highest top dive speed of any WWII aircraft, even faste than the Me262's.  That said, I don't know if a starting point of 30, 000ft would give the Spitfire Mk XIV enough time for that higher terminal velocity to make up for its slower starting speed and acelleration.

shoot the wings off and every one of them will hit the ground really fast...  :D

as far as a controlled descent, probably jug and hog would be within seconds of each other...

Depends of the model. A-hog , D-hog and the 4-hog are all very good divers. the Nancy and Marry jugs are great divers also.

that is one exsperiance I laughed at. Took a spit 14 to 45k, nosed down an she pulled up by herself around 5k. I was really surprised as I was holding the stick all the way forward.

I'm thinking 109K-4 or P-51. It depends on starting speed.

Thing is, in the 109 and 190 you will never loose trim authority so you can control the dive all the way down.

true but, you it's tough to get to 500+ with a 109 and if you're pulling near 600mph with a 190, don't adjust anything or move the stick...wings make an ugly noise when they pop off.

Between the Spit XVI, 109K-4, and P-51 it would probably come down to structural integrity. I don't think the other aircraft are sleek enough. In real life my money would be on the Spit, then the 109 and P-51 last. The Pony had a reputation of wrapping its left wing over the cockpit in Vmax+ dives trapping the pilot. Something some unfortunate P-47 drivers transitioning to the D-Pony found out.

In the game, I don't know. It will probably be more up to the pilot.
