And also the La-7 - if you look at your chart.
So whats unique on these three planes - contrary to the others?

Nice testing, BTW!

I think he is merely stating facts.

So that confirms that radial engines are more resistant to overheating?

[EJGr.Ost_Caspar]

At least they have a bonus in cooling.

I'd rather put it like better ventilated and therefor less prone to overheating.

I don't know .. but that smiley tells me that there is a method to the madness.. care to elaborate for those who are chart challenged and just want to enjoy the product but need to have a better understanding of what they're dealing with?

All of the ones on the chart with a slightly better tolerance to dealing with heat are .... equipped with radial engines. Its conventional wisdom that radials are more robust and I guess that's what is going on here as well. So they appear to all have a slightly different profile to heat resistance from the in-line engines.

Forget in-line versus radial.

Think air-cooled versus liquid-cooled.

I should have put it that way

Instead of some foul words like this, I'd like to see some real-life references from TD to proof what he said was that ridiculous.
