In July 1944, Beaumont had his Wing using 150 fuel. At 500ft his a/c was doing 415mph.

Just keep it in the 1000 meter range and you'll be closer to the maximum speed in the stage 1 supercharger setting and be able to outrun almost everything. At sea level the FW190D-9 with MW50 (the 1945 model) is faster than pretty much everything...even the super fast La-7 is left in the dust at sea level.

Also please do not make me laugh with "thousands of Tempests" statement, all Tempests together ever produced don't even reach 1500 and that's throughout the poduction including all models MkV and MkII and MkVI as later variants. Not to mention that if my memory serves me correctly there was about 800 MkV's produced ever, note - EVER, not just during the war. For comparision there was 1805 FW190D9's produced before the war ended. |

You mean that calculated data for the DB603LA powered Ta152C?
Four prototypes of the Ta152C is a lot of a/c, be sure. |

Where did I say that's a lot?

And who mentioned 190D9's? Certainly not me. Although by the way, many of those 1800+ D9's ended up stuck on factory floors and never made it to the Staffel, because of lack of transportation and fuel to get them to the airfields. As far as real data for the higher boosted Tempest, does this look like 'anecdotal' data?: 394 mph at sea level. And that is a Sabre IIA engine at 3700 rpm. The game's Tempest barely does 376 mph. The Sabre IIB with only +11 boost reved to 3850 rpm and produced more hp. 410 mph at 4500 ft. The game's Tempest does 381 mph, 29 mph (46kph) slower. Even the +11 boost Tempest would wipe the floor at low and medium alts with the TA's, or D9's. Charts courtesy of Mike William's site. Last edited by *Buzzsaw*; 12-11-2008 at 04:30 AM. |

Still, not even calculated data for 13lbs, probably because both Sabre engines couldn't handle 150 grade fuel as it's well documented in every book dealing with Tempests.
Sure they did tests with it, but engines couldn't deal with it, that's why full 11lbs came for SabreIIb which did not need 150 grade fuel for 11lbs. |

Oh Brain, W/Cdr Roland Beamont had his Wing (3, 56, 486 Sqns) using 150 grade fuel and 11lb boost in July 1944.
Codex, nice chart but no Ta152 flew with the DB603L engine. The V 6, 7 and 8 used DB603E engines. Calculated numbers, they are. |
