What the hell has happened to the Bf-110's lengendary rate of climb??

Someone needs to do another speed test on the 110, I'd like to see what the max speed is in game, and how it compares to real life.

Imagine the Me-262, but rather a large body and jet engines. It has twin prop engines, and a skinny body. That's what the Bf-110 is like.

yes, I've flown it.

What I was wondering os what it's actual top speed is in game, and how far off it is compared to the real life flight model.

I will research the actual speed of the 110C (it is a C model isnt it?) and then will take the plane up and compare speeds etc and see how it handles.

Unless panzerganate knows off the top of his head the speeds it should be doing. If poss (from memory or research mate) do oy know the speeds it did at -

roughly 1000ft
roughly 5000ft
roughly 10000ft
roughly 20000ft

i will take the in game model up and post max speeds at the mentioned heights

I managed 232 MPH in level flight in a simulator game this evening with WEP after accelerating (slowly gaining momentum more like) from 290 MPH in 30 seconds.

By comparison, the Blenhiem IV (real top speed 297 MPH) gains speed a lot quicker and it weighs a lot more.

Peformance wise, I'd expect the Bf-110 to at least have the same rate of acceleration as the Japanese Gekko does in "Battlestations Pacific" or the Bf-110 C4 in "Blazing Angels" which is pretty much how a Bf-110 should perform.

I dread to think how a P-38 Lightning would be portrayed in the game, if the way the Bf-110 isanything to go on.

I'm going by what Airfix stated in the Bf-110 C4 model kit.... 293 MPH at sea level.

Mate you really cant compare a BoP 110 to a BSP geko lol, they are two different planes in two different games.

I will take the 110 up and do some speed tests at different heights. Could take a while, so i'll post the results on here when im done. You will prob be asleep by then so when you come on tomorrow can you tell me if the speeds are accuate enough etc. Cheers
