Sorry for my off topic

Turn Rate... "the golden rule of IL2" ??
close to misconception

Many things are not pure mathematics
One plane turns better ... but if the pilot must do a huge force in the stick at 5 g´s.
The pilot will be with broken arms and breathless in two minutes.
Will be very difficult aim and shoot to other plane, or do a good dogfight.

A plane maybe can turn worse, but if it's light on the stick in two minutes that pilot easy win the combat.


Another misconception

The "power" of the engine , "other golden rule of IL2" ??... 1+1=2 ??

Many times we say this engine has
1000 HP
2000 HP
2500 HP
or
1.000.000 Horse power

Another thing is not purely 1+1=2

About.....
The design of the propeller??

How many horsepower the prop will give to you gripping the air?
How many power is output to the air by the prop, for each horse power increment ??

Put in the same plane a new engine with 500 HP more and the prop maybe give you only 100 Hp more.. is no direct mathematical
Only a small part of that 500hp will be going to thrust of the plane.

Maybe a plane with engine with 1600 HP, performs better than other plane with 1900 hp engine ..the aerodynamics, the propeller .. many many Things..

Is 1950 hp engine in Turkish plane better than 1600 HP engine in indian plane?.. mmm.. depends on each plane
How many HP are exploited by each plane and prop?


Not everything goes directly to the thrust of the plane.
If you use a prop .. not is the same as using a jet.
