    Here are some acceleration comparisons between planes in the 4.02 patch. Crimea map, full fuel, rads closed, default loadout. Time in seconds.

    The runs were recorded, and time taken during the playback. I didn't use a timer, instead I took the time from the track itself. So the numbers aren't 100% accurate. But they give an accurate enough representation of the differences in acceleration between the tested fighters.

    Planes in this test are, Fw 190A-5, Fw 190A-8, Fw 190A-9, Yak-9U, Yak-3P, Spitfire MkVIII CW, Bf 109G-2.

    SPD - A5 -- A8 -- A9 -- 9U -- 3P - VIII - G2

    250 - ST - ST -- ST -- ST -- ST - ST - ST
    300 - 6 --- 6 ---- 6 --- 4 --- 4 --- 5 -- 5
    350 - 13 -- 12 -- 12 -- 10 -- 10 -- 11 - 10
    400 - 21 -- 19 -- 19 -- 17 -- 17 -- 18 - 17
    450 - 32 -- 30 -- 31 -- 26 -- 27 -- 30 - 27

    520 - 60 -- 54 -- 54 -- 47 -- 51 -- 72 - 63
    540 - 74 -- 65 -- 65 -- 57 -- 64 -- NA - 83
    550 - 85 -- 74 -- 72 -- 65 -- 74 -- NA - NA
    560 - 101 - 84 -- 80 -- 73 -- 88 -- NA - NA
    570 - 129 - 99 -- 93 -- 86 -- 116 - NA - NA
    580 - NA -- 129 - 110 - 113 - NA -- NA - NA

    Starring at those numbers made me go cross eyed.. sooo
    The Yak 9U is king of acceleration.
    The FW-190A9 starts to out pace the others at around 550KPH and finally the 9U at about 580

    Uber vs. Uber
    Big graph so can see lines easier

    LA7 for the win until about 575, where the Mustang III takes over and doesn't look back till 657KPH
    YAK9 and K4 come off poorly. TA-152 over takes K4 around 565KPH.
    D9 44 Next not doing too badly, with its younger brother D945 keeping an advantage. The LA7 holds the advantage against the D945 untill around 600 KPH.

    I had forgotten just how fast the Mustang III was
    Still it must remain fast... its acceleration is poor to average below 540KPH.

    Megile, great graphs, but might be better if you put time on the X-axis. It's kind of a convention.

    And thanks Robban, fantastic work.
