I was going to post this in Hayateace's 109 topic in ORR. But it was locked so I'm posting the climbrates here instead.
Crimea map, full fuel, full power and boost, default loadout, radiators auto, no wind & turbulence, climb speed 260-280km/h TAS, above 6000m ~310km/h TAS. In meters and m/sec.

I have a problem with that mesure, this will make a good paper data sheet but they do not reflect the real world fight climb for example the angle of climbs etc...
It's a good start. We should try to find a test were the weight ratio/Power enter more in effect. It is why sometime performance on papers are differents than real combat performances..
I hope i made my self clear ( i dought )
I climbed to 8000m with 109's. Between 7000 and 8000m, the G-2 and K-4 has an average climbrate of 14.3 and 13.8m/sec.
P-63 is a good climber, but it cannot match the 109. Especially the K-4. In fact there's no prop in the game that comes close. The La-7 used to be a super climber, but it has been corrected.
Here's the P-63C climbrate. Same procedure as the 109's.
1000 - 23.3
2000 - 21.3
3000 - 20.4
4000 - 20.0
5000 - 17.9
6000 - 16.4
7000 - 12.8
Do you mean climbs at near stall speed?Originally posted by TheGozr:

Here are the real world figures, at 1.98 ata and 1.8 ata:

The current K4 has a climb rate far higher than the real life 1.98 ata version, yet is supposed to be running at 1.8 ata. And a 1.98 ata version is supposed to be added. I hope the climb rate for both versions gets fixed at the same time.
The Spitfire LF IX should be, but I don't know what it is in game.Robban what allied aircraft is nearest to match K4 in climb up to 5000m?
Real life figures at 18 lbs boost:
1000m - 23.6
2000m - 23.9
3000m - 21.8
4000m - 19.6
5000m - 19.6
6000m - 18.3
7000m - 15.1
And for the Spitfire LF VIII
1000m - 23.4
2000m - 22.4
3000m - 19.6
4000m - 21.3
5000m - 21.2
6000m - 18.8
7000m - 15.7
