This is true... What is interesting is that corner speed is the Minimum speed needed to pull max G.


Moving forward... I agree I don't think Corner Speed was a consideration given the power to weight ratio they have. We aren't talking about a F16...

I think IL2 gives a pretty good representation of what we are all concerned about. Getting that gun solution. I don't look at my airspeed all that much except when I'm at limits like dive and stall. I look for angles and of course picking when to spend to make a shot. Flying around in circles isn't going to get you very far with someone that will counter with a reversal or an extension.
