Thanks for posting BS, as already requested - which line for the Spit Mk1a is the patch?

Good point, they are the same colour.

Given that most fighting tends to happen below 6,000m, the current game is closer to the flight tests than the patch.

Comparing the other "post"-patch graphs I'd say it's the one that has slower speed below FTH. The in-game graphs seem to have a sharper edge at the FTH than the real-life tests.

There both merlin engines arnt they? On the Hurricane graph the test flight one is rounded. The patch one has an angle at the apex.

Its the bottom one.

oh....crap! Ah well, I have always preferred to be at 55000+ in MP - I can stop whinging once I get to that altitude!

The reference graph seems to be based on N. 3171.

..and so on the 2nd day Black six did come down from on high to mount 1C where he did give the common people two more tablets... and it was entered in the book of CloDo... and there was much rejoicing! Until later when there was a violent secular clash in which many threads and posts were dismembered and slaine...

Thank you BS, but I am confused why the devs have generally reduced the Spit Mk1a speed in the next patch given that it is already slower than the flight test data?

I don't understand that at all.
