Here's the il2 compare data,
Bf109G6 late,
La5f
Both within a few of the il2 data, probably cause i used smolensk rather than crimea, but there still relative to each other.
Probably, even things like a bullrt proof windscreen shave of 3-4 mph, 150 kg's is 2 light adults..... |
fruitbat,
you get similar result as mine. but what I said is the max speed that both plane can get without engine overheat.
I would like to say such Max speed is more useful in the combat. for sure G6 can get the top speed about 630km/h in few mintes. but after that she needs rad opena and throttle back. only 603 km/h she can get without overheat. but L5f can get 613-614km/h and never overheat with 110% throttle and Rad closed. such huge advantage cannot be ignored.
