Analysis of real life 109E performance for CloD

[TomcatViP]

Again, it's exactly what I am describing:

-Flight test of capt aircraft (we know tht both of those capt'ed 109s had structural failure as one of the french ferry/test pilot is famous for his flight testing postwar (Dassault)).
- Swiss 109 tht were not exactly in the same config of the German built (Yugoslavian were - Romanian shld be also)
-April 39 flight test...
There was only a minority of E model during the campaign of France. Most were D models. So V15 is an early test model. Just like saying in 50years tht tht F35 was not supersonic showing early flight test data. (Pls note tht I am not actually writing tht 109 shld be supersonic in CoD!!!)

....

Regarding the S/C on the 109, he he I am glad to read it from you now

But 450+ is the speed of the MS406 and Curtiss tht french used in majority. The D even was faster than those aircraft. I don't see how the E could hve the very same perf.

Note also tht cruise pow for the DB605 was ard 880HP giving G model a 450+ cruise speed. I don't see how the E cellule with 1100+ HP could be slower.

It's simply a question of logics (perf comparison, flight manuals, history books (reals ones), Maths and logics).
