I read in IvanK's post (regards the FM research and testing he has been contributing) - that currently there is no drag penalty for rads and the devs are aware of this.

I am not going to get in a tit for tat ref the charts or the tests depicted on them. In all cases they represent the climb performance achieved in game using the Climb profile (Power/speed) as quoted in the source documents themselves.
In all cases RADs full open (since at present there is no radiator drag in COD). These climbs are all straight out standard climbs NOT max power (i.e. without WEP/Boostcutout).
In the course of these climbs it was also discovered that both the Spitfire and Hurricane VSI's were overreading to the tune of 800fpm for the Hurricane and 1000fpm for the Spitfires. This determined by Alt versus elapsed time.... so dont rely on the VSI's at present to give you a true indication of climb rate. Altitude versus time is the only true measure.
The Spit Ia is with CSP controlling at 3000RPM.
The E4 is in AUTO controlling at 2350RPM (No advantage doing it in manual btw)
