I don't get it: SpitMk5 superior to Fw190A4/5 | Forums

[WUAF_Badsight]

so the 1942 Spitfire MkVb in FB has the top speed of a 9 Lb boosted RL Spitfire MkVb ?

what was the top speed of a RL 1.42 ATA FW-190 A4 ?

Here's for the A-3, but it's the same as A-4.

AFAIK it`s SL speed is too low, and at altitude it`s too fast.

Last I heard all planes except for the FW190 have a better climb rate in IL2 then they had in RL.

[WUAF_Badsight]

but what was the ETO spec weights for the 190's

wasnt it heavier than the WTO spec 190's & that heavier weight is moddeled in FB ?

What's worse is the extreme angle of climb that can be performed by planes such as Spit's, 109's Yak's and La's.
I can climb at an 40-45 degree angle at 150-170km/h with Spitfire IXc from SL up to 5000m without having to use any rudder input at all. This can be replicated with the Bf 109, La series and the Yak-3 aswell. I have a track were I do a loop in the Spit IXc with an entry speed of just 230km/h.

yep u can do that now, planes dont lose speed or something as quick as they once did, so u can bnz a 109k4, and he will point nose up and climb upto u!, after u bnz from 1k to 700metres advantage onto him (full throttle)

oh its really bad for ki43 drivers, cos they need/use the low speed climb advantage

well i do anyways

just look at these stats at greter green page and say that A4 is weak .. lool. This is the tabel of most flown planes

Plane flights kill/death ration
Bf-109G-2 2475 1.12
La-5FN 1421 1.16
Bf-109G-6_Late 1417 1.39
Bf-110G-2 1136 1.11
