I doubt same thing would happen on climbrate comparsoin.

Disagree.

Just did some tests cause i didn't believe it.

100% fuel, rads closed, Smolensk, La5f and Bf109G6 late, Stock 4.10.1. Speeds attained by getting to altitude and then accelerated up to top speed and holding for a min.

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.

only 150kg and 2 bubbles can make such big difference?

Probably, even things like a bullrt proof windscreen shave of 3-4 mph, 150 kg's is 2 light adults.....
