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.

Because devs fly blue, maybe ?

These graphs only show performance from 2000/3000m and up, whereas the previous graphs showed performance from 0m and up.

It's very interesting to note that between 3000 and 5000m, the patched 109E4 performs better than RL, whereas both the Rotol Hurri and the MkIa Spitfire perform worse than RL at these altitudes.

Please can we see graphs for the Spits and Hurris from 0m and up, so we can make a true comparison?

Many Thanks.

We don't have official flight tests for Spits and Hurris between 0 and 3000m.

Thanks for these BlackSix, very interesting stuff.

Yeah it looks like that with these graphs @3km the Spitfire is 50-60kmph slower than the 109. I am staying calm because you have the flight model data for the 87 octane (6.25lbs) model of the RAF fighters which are not Battle of Britain fighters

Please refer to the bug 174 (in my signature) to get details on the correct 100 octane (12lbs) RAF fighters.

And for the punters, please upvote that bug
