I saw some of you folks complaining how everything about IL-2 is a dead horse () well it ain't ! There are many interesting things to be played with.
Measured in v4.08 on Crimea map.
Results are very accurate, tolerance for error is less than 1%.......... I'll update the list and add new info as I do new tests.
Special remarks listed;

....

Results marked in red are obtained by flying at the t0p speed alts, that means those are absolute t0p level speeds for the specific type.

update#1

Are those speed values in IAS or TAS?

[DKoor]

Those are values that can be read on the "Comic Gauge", another words, TAS

BF109 G2---------------526 Radiator Open
BF109 G2---------------526 Radiator Auto

Interesting stuff on the radiator`s drag effect. For comparison with RL tested data for radiator drag on a Bf 109G-1, please see my site :

It seems the radiator has very little effect on drag state compared to real life..

[DKoor]

I've compared another set of data..........
To some this may be actually worthwhile......
See how much actual difference is between the Gospel IL-2 Compare V4.07 and IL-2 V4.08.

Some may be surprised.

Excellent work Mr. DeKoor. A big ~S~ for your efforts.

I've always wondered what my favorite ride the Pe-2 would do at altitude... any chance of you checking her when you have the time? You do that and I'll buy you a beer sometime!
