I always open my radiator in order to keep the engine cooled so I can run 110% longer. If it makes no damn difference I guess I should just leave it closed hahah
There isnt that much difference! Max 20kmph TAS out of the TOP speed - you will barely notice it. P47 and Corsair dont have a too awesome power to weight ratio, let them speed up, but once you're there, not many of your typical opponents that is not a jet will even dream of catching you.
