Again, references seem to be the biggest problem here. I tried years ago without success to get a full range of charts. There are a couple of charts for 11 and 13lb boost and the different Sabre II engine variants but they weren't for a full range of altitudes nor were they including the climb rates either.

Allegedly Closterman (famous Tempest ace) had a late model Tempest V Series II with likely a Sabre IIC and Rotol propeller running at 13lbs of boost. This would be JF-E "Le Grande Charles". Some of that may be exaggeration by the author himself compounded with decades between writing his book and the actual events of when he wrote his diary for example but I'm not sure.

If I came to choice between a Typhoon (immensely useful from 1942 and on depending on model) or a high powered Tempest... I'd pick the Typhoon. Of course the work is not comparable. A flight model is likely a fairly "easy" thing to do with the right data versus modelling an aircraft.

Just wanted to say thanks to TeamD for the upcoming Beaufort in 4.12, been on my wish list for a long time, a much missed med theatre plane.

Santa, I have been a very good boy most of the year. So, I would like to see more flyable Flying boats (e.g Grumman JRF Goose and/or Grumman J4F Widgeon)and Floatplanes (e.g Fokker T.VIII).

Keep up the good work Daidalos Team!

Well you have not been good boy enough otherwise Santa would let you know years ago that Grumman planes will not make it into official release.

Probably because it is more convenient for him to have all the "special gifts" fitted in the nose? haha Grabbing a bottle is also easier this way...isn't it?

Question: were all lend-lease Kobras fitted with the Russian reticle? Was it possible to keep the N9 gunsight and replace the reticle only (what we seem to have ingame)? I'm asking because now in stock game it appears the Russian reticle is too big to fit in the US gunsight and we can't use it correctly because we only have the small center part of it to use.... when it is well known that those big 37mm "pumpkins" need a hell of deflection haha.

My guess is that if Russian changed the US reticle the would also replace the gunsight in order to be able to use it completely? We cannot see the inner circle completely as is (not to talk about the outer circle): and because of that we don't have a complete reticle in the Airacobra!
