and what you think about etalon performances of bf 109 with mw-50, and this in 44-45? at second, if we talking about this... |
Im interested only in Zerstörers and Bombers. Single engined German fighters... I dont care. I only like to shoot them down. But their engines were superbly built, they had much longer service life than VK-107 series, even with quality problems, or even the first series of BMW-801 with 30-40 hours. (but it rectified soon) I read somewhere that western (German, American, British) engines had 100-150 hours service life at least. And 10 minutes for MW-50 isnt a joke, its a FACT. And Im not saying that VK-107 couldnt use WEP. It could, but the pilot risked an engine seizure, which could happen in any minute, or in any second! WEP, if used, significantly reduced the already unacceptably short engine life. VK-107 was one of the worst engines of WW2, a very-very poor construction.
And BTW, I really dont understand you. We have 100% RELIABLE test reports from NII VVS, that clearly indicate the difference between the performance of prototype and serial production aircraft. Why do you still think that these reports arent correct? Why do you think that the opinions of pilots or mechanics are more believable? Why do you think that current FM is OK, even though it is obviously modeled after the prototypes?
In the other thread, (
http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...t=32576&page=2) Z1024 thoroughly researched the performance of the different versions of La-7, and you again flooded the forum with pilots or mechanics opinions. I dont want to insult you with this, but I completely agree with him:
