Spit/109 sea level speed comparisons in 1.08 beta patch

[5./JG27.Farber]

Well if we are using anecdotal and pilot accounts lets throw these into the fire:

I stongley urge the red fliers especially to read this. Its a shed load of pilot accounts with sources, all about the 109 and what an Uber plane she really is!

I also performed the test on a multiplayer server in case FM's are different in single player.


Using ATAG_Keller's IAS TAS converter the results are:

Test 1 Sea level 1.3Ata 2400U/pm IAS 440 TAS 440 or 273 mph
Test 2 Sea level 1.23Ata 2300U/pm IAS 430 TAS 430 or 267 mph
Test 3 Sea level 1.15Ata 2200U/pm IAS 420 TAS 420 or 261 mph

Test 4 4500metres 1.3Ata 2400U/pm IAS 400 TAS 518 or 322 mph
Test 5 5000metres 1.23Ata 2400U/pm IAS 390 TAS 518 or 322 mph
Test 6 4900metres 1.15Ata 2200U/pm IAS 370 TAS 489 or 304 mph

Now we need to dig out the real life tests and compare.


The effect of WEP also seems to have changed. I tried making it break the engine in the usual ways but could not manage it... It also seems to have effect at all altitudes now.

I assume these are full throttle speeds.

I assume this is TAS

0km 460km/h

1km 480km/h

2km 500km/h

3km 520km/h

4km 540km/h

5km 555km/h
