I managed to push a Bf-110 C4 all the way to 322 MPH (WEP) in a dive and then watched it drop to 261 MPH as soon as I leveled out.
The climb speed is only about 175 MPH with the nose at 45 Degrees.
The only thing that seems to be correct, in BOP, is how fragile the BF-110 C4is when being shot at. Its ability to loose control when even modest control surface damage is inflicted is well documented.
I'll have to ask Widar if he want to do some more formation flying comparison tests with the Bf-110 C4 and a Spitfire / Hurricane / Bf-108 E3 at some time.
We spent hours doing this with the Fw-190 A5 and Spitfire IX a few weeks ago in simulator mode.
