What I don't understand is why ppl here simply don't have a more modest approach with plane perf and simply listen to what flight manual told us.

Is there any flight manual available that lies greatly abt the perf plane for any major country during WWII ? No

The variability is even accepted as beinh ard 5% for german plane wich were certainly the most hard pressed aero industry for all metals airplanes (with JN) during the war.

So why do we hev to rely on obscure test flights when we all know that foreign test of captured aircraft is always a difficult exercise ?

Are the 33000+ Me109 delivered just a gigantic scam shared by all the pilots that flew them ?

Enough is enough.

On one side we hve Spits fanatics that want to prove that actual flight manuals were wrong and perfs were better due to field made mod that nobody really heard abt etc..

ANd on the other side, the anti 500-kph mafia put on every thread test flight with less than average test result for the 109.

Messer had some problem with their deliverable, notably due to the innovative construction tech and higly tuned cellules and aerodyn. This is a well known fact and the german autorities put high pressure on him to fix this.

[ConjucturingMode=ON] That one low performing 109 was flight tested to prove that meaning in front of Messer's officials and low perfs duely recorded does not mean that Messer was allowed to sell 3000+ under performing E model... C'mon guys. Heads up for a while. WHat about that much talked SA ! [/ConjoncturingMode=OFF]

Just relax. Ok there is some test from Fr for example with planes that we know had crashed landed somewhere on their way to test facilities etc.. etc...

But if the flight manual says abt 500 deck, damn we will have heard abt since long if it didn't !!!! Pilots would hve complain, military would hve cancel orders etc.. etc... 465 is not 500. 35 kph at that time was a vital asset. It matters !

It's even illogical way to think, that UK did play some dangerous alchemy trying to convert their eng with 100 oct fuel if the enmy in front used low performing planes...

I urged all to stop searhing on the net or hanging too much time browsing the SpitPerf.cow website. Read books instead. Many are written by serious historians, not self proclaimed prophets.

And what ever... if you think that you can't handle the planes that your fav side gets in CoD... C'mon, it's a game, switch side and enjoy flying the finger pointed übers planes !
