BS....

There is a lot problems with Spitifres and Hurricanes:

- all of them are too slow expecially at the deck - no engine settings change these. 87 Octan fuel versions ( +6 1/4 boost) are slow about 20-30 mph and 100 Octan fuel versions at emergency boost +12 lbs only reach historical speeds of + 6 1/4 boost version which mean that they are too slow also about 20-30mph. So its mean that all british fighters in CLOD are too slow about 20-30 mph. 109 is also too slow but much less - ab. 20-30 kph.

- no British plane in CLOD could maintain historical engine power settings from manuals without overheat and engine damage

Here are historical engine power settings from manuals:

Merlin III with CSP at 87 Octan fuel:

Max take off - +6 1/4 at 3000 RPM
Climbing (1/2 hour limit) - +6 1/4 at 2600 RPM
Continous cruising- +4 1/2 at 2600 RPM
All-out level flight (5 minutes limit) - +6 1/4 at 3000 RPM

Merlin III at 100 Octan :

Max take off - +6 1/4 at 3000 RPM
Climbing (1/2 hour)- +6 1/4 at 2850 RPM ( below 20 000 ft)
- 3000 RPM (above 20 000 ft)
All-out level flight (5 minutes) - +6 1/4 at 3000 RPM ( 5 minutes)
Emergency power (5 minutes) - +12 lbs at 3000 RPM ( 5 minutes)

Merlin XII at 100 Octan

Max take off - +12 at 3000 RPM
(emergency 3 or 5-minutes also)
Climbing (1/2 hour limit) - +9 at 2850 RPM
Continous cruising- +7 at 2650 RPM
All-out level flight (5 minutes limit)- +9 at 3000 RPM

Try the same in CLOD i mean expecially emergency power and nominal power ( climbing power) and you will see how long your engine will runing without damage.
