Inaccurate performance data for BOB fighters in COD comparing to RL data

260 IAS with the mkI
220 IAS with the mkIa

they should both be at or around the 365 TAS mark (its a few MPH higher or lower depending on the plane, prop,engine II or II and fuel octane 87 or 100)

Also the mkIa (which should be using a DH 5/29 or 5/30 bracket CSP) should have a better rate of climb than the mkI which used the older 2-pitch De Havilland prop.

At least the MKI seems to get pretty close. 260 mph IAS @18500 = 353 mph TAS. http://www.csgnetwork.com/e6bcalc.html

yeah well I went back and tried to recreate those results again at 18,400ft... could only get the mkI up to just a hair over 245 IAS and the mkIa only 240 IAS at 18,500ft.

all my tests Ive been running have been at full boost (gate pushed forward) and at full coarse pitch. The boost drops from +6.5lb to +4.5lbs at altitude. I fly with CEM on and the overheat option off.

it seems like the planes are a bit too slow.. but their boost levels are too low as well so that seems to have something to do with it.

they should all be around 270- 275 IAS at that alt.

Im gonna keep testing too see if its not "pilot error"

all my references are from the book Spitfire: The History by Eric Morgan and Edward Shacklady.

All figures are the actual recordings made during testing... most seem to be from either facilities, Martlesham Heath or Boscombe Down.
