Well KG 200 did do tests and they did say "The P-47D out-turns our Bf-109G", but you do choose to ignore them don't you? Or maybe I misunderstood your position, and you actually understand the Me-109G is ridiculously out-turned by the P-47D? ![]() You also choose to ignore what all combat reports are saying, including your own quote: "I was flying as Blue 3 and during the engagement I saw 4 F.W. 190's flying below me" Well, if you want to make sure it is not high speed, you better exclude diving from the equation don't you? On top of that we don't know how far below, or how fast they were going...: "in the opposite direction and attacking four of my squadron." "Attacking" and "opposite direction" implies they are neither slow nor, more importantly, turning... Maybe "Stall-turned" confused you: It does not mean that the turning was close to level flying speed stall, but it could instead very well be close to a 350-400 MPH 6 G "stall-turn"... In fact unsustained speed maximum rate turns are typically "stall-turns"... Finally: "They broke and turned with me but I could easily out-turn them and I got several bursts at the rear one." Well "several" burst is good for your argument, but still there is no suggestion of low speed or multiple level turns is there? In fact, "broke and turned with me", combined with "attacking" and "opposite direction", pretty much implies they were previously going fairly straight, which in turn suggests fairly fast... But maybe you don't quite get the distinction I make between high G turning performance and low-G sustained turning performance? Well, consider that just because it's all the same for our "sophisticated" current flight physics (assuming similar needed stick effort per G at high speeds), it doesn't mean it's all the same for my theory... But since you don't accept, not even momentarily for the sake of an argument apparently, the basics of my theory, that explains the unconvincing example you chose... Hey, have you heard of the multiple turns level fight by Johnny Johnson? "Opposite side of an ever diminishing circle"?: That's more like the ticket... "It was only a matter of time", and one will come up... Gaston |
