ICefire, I really suck at B&Z - pressing the trigger at high speed at a precise moment within an ever diminishing time frame usually ends up in a complete waste of ammo! I guess I am going to have to practice that skill, but, if all fails.....I can load my 4.09 install!

The Seafire should NOT out turn a Zero at mid to low speed ever. In 1943 pilots went to Darwin from Europe to help with air raids from Timor. They were told by the experianced RAAF pilots not to turn with Zeros, but they did anyways since that was their reaction from fighting the luftwaffe with a more maneuverable aircraft. They got staved on, hard, until they switched tactics and BnZ'd the Zekes. They were the last group of allied pilots to learn this the hard knock way. The Seafire is faster then the Wildcat, climbs better then the wildcat, but will not out turn it. The wildcat was closer to the Zeke then any other western aircraft in terms of turn performance, but not better then the Zeke by any means. 'More maneuverable' does not translate into 'turns better', it encompases all maneuver, both vertical and horizontal. I think the Seafire is spot on personally.

Based on that it is suprising to see that The F4 is described in the AC guide has having 'poor maneouverability' and the Seafire as having 'excellent'. I am no expert so my judgements were based on flying these ac based on the guide and in the Dgen Pacific campaigns. I have taken on board the advice and changed tactics with the 4.10 Seafire with better results - thanks guys!

No a recorded track file of your 'testing' so others can review your methods to see if any errors were made during said 'test'

I'd be curious to read the definition of "maneuverable" as defined by people in this thread.
Not a condemnation, just wondering if we are all talking about the same thing.
