I don't care if my plane is porked,as long it is historically porked to 1940's standards! |

Kwiatek maybe right ref performance. From the state of it the Alpha testers (they released the beta) probably never got round to FM testing due to all the other problems. Hard to trust charts (in the manual) that have combat flap turn times for a Spitfire FFS!

Every one of us is claiming for realism in the sim till first Il-2, and creators also sell the sim to us as "the most realistic", so any sense in using incorrect data. By the way accurate data for most of aircraft are available for every people who wants to find it, Kwiatek demonstrate it, so non sense also trying to fool us with nobodyknowsfromwhere data... And not the only thing, everyone of us knows actually how an Emil's DB601 sounds, not to mention a RR Merlin, there are at least two airworthy Emil examples nowadays and you can see in youtube... does really make sense trying to say us a Db601 sounds like ingame? ![]() S!

From my own testing of the Spitfires, my only issues are with the mkI variants in the game...
after repeated tries I was only able to reach the top speeds (@18500ft) of: 260 IAS with the mkI 220 IAS with the mkIa they should both be at or around the 365 TAS mark (its a few MPH higher or lower depending on the plane, prop,engine II or II and fuel octane 87 or 100) Also the mkIa (which should be using a DH 5/29 or 5/30 bracket CSP) should have a better rate of climb than the mkI which used the older 2-pitch De Havilland prop. |

all my references are from the book Spitfire: The History by Eric Morgan and Edward Shacklady.
All figures are the actual recordings made during testing... most seem to be from either facilities, Martlesham Heath or Boscombe Down. |

Britain and the Commonwealth pilots at the Battle of Britain as seriously outnumbered as they were, 640 fighters facing 2600 Luftwaffe aircraft, where able to do what they did because of the relative performance of the machines involved, access to 100-octane fuel, combined with the advantage proffered by radar. Failure to portray the difference in performance is a huge disservice to everyone that was involved during that conflict regardless of the side they served. As another poster pointed out, this has nothing to do with hating anyone; it is about accurate portrayal of the subject, THE single most important factor for any title that calls its self a simulation.

I don't like to respond to a post and contribute to overall bickering (when it is better to stay on subject), but:

I think people shouldn't be complaining when people dispute facts and figures here (especially when backed up), for a lot of people it is very important. Last edited by fireship4; 04-01-2011 at 11:41 PM. |
