Capt Stubbing you said:
"Several Planes having the ability to break Mach in a Dive. P47, Dora and Tempest come to mind…"
Are you saying these aircraft could exceed Mach 1 in a dive in Real life ? If so is there documentation to support this ?
With regards P38 compressibility are you saying its happening at too high an altitude and too low an airspeed or that it shouldn't be happening at all below 10,000 feet.
In reality it is a straight out Mach number issue with recovery G also being a variable.
Regarding P51 Wing shedding are you referring to Speed/aerodynamic affects (like air getting into the wing structure and ripping it apart) or Structural loss via Over G ?
