But this is the right speed for sea level, the 360mph top speed is achieved only at 15,000ft, above and below this the performance drops off.

Same goes for the Mustang. 438mph at 25,000ft, but only 370mph at sea level. Factor in the way you are carrying rockets and have a full fuel load and you will be lucky to reach 340mph at this altitude, which is where most of the combat in this mission.

Flight models are very accurate, being taken from the PC Il2 series where they have been refined over the years to produce excellent represenations of the individual aircrafts handling.

I haven't tried climbing the planes to find out their in game ceiling but I would expect it to be very close to the real life ceilings, like it is in the PC Il2 games.

David i hope to find you online! you seem to know alot, and could teach me some good stuff!
