Throwing some light on rates of turn

Damnit Crumpp said much the same thing It's like doing the dishes

I don't think it's impossible that (as you say) that Spits and 109s are speed competitive at high alt. Whose to say that the in-flight gauges are actually giving correct information? We could have a Spit 1a and 109 at 20000ft with gauge data showing the 109 20% faster, but both the aircraft actually doing 100mph TAS (or 500mph TAS!) through the CloD air.

At this point it just gets confusing. For any aircraft, mismatched discussions can occur based on any combination of:

* Performance calculated from gauges
* Developer stated target performance
* Actual relative performance in game
* Wishful thinking relative performance in game (hopefully not too much of this )
* Optimistic historical performance
* Pessimistic historical performance
* Fantasy historical performance (hopefully not too much of this )

For me I think it is time to give up for now and just have fun with what it is and whatever it becomes.

Don't worry there will be plenty of that once the Mustang makes an appearance (and to a lesser extent the fw190).

There's really no conclusions to be drawn until we know what the atmospheric conditions are as modelled in the sim, and until they fix the shoddy state of the current flight model.

Once we have that we can run test flights, correct the data to standard conditions, and use that to compare to historical data.
