Throwing some light on rates of turn

First of all, it will be the summer of 1940. The density altitude is much greater than a standard day on a warm summer day.

Almost all of the performance data quoted by folks defending their favorite airplane is performance on a standard day.

At a higher density altitude, you will see a reduction in Indicated Airspeeds and climb rates. That is normal atmospheric effects.

It does not mean the game is modeled wrong.

If Maddox games really models things correctly, it will be very funny to listen to people. Players will be screaming when they hit their boost override and increase rpm over maximum continuous or 1.42ata, or whatever high power/high rpm system their game shape has only to watch the airplane slow down on that hot summer day!

Regrettably, that is not the problem at all.

Camber's post earlier in this thread highlights the actual cause for concern by the virtual RAF pilots:
