Long ago there were questions about acceleration and climb with charts pulled out when Oleg commented that the chart was for a wide-blade prop while the IL-2 FW (just which one, I forget) models the thin-blade prop optimized for speed. Worst part, there were guys waving charts made of climb numbers for one plane matched with speed numbers from another, nuthin' but the best for the precious!
I don't recall seeing prop type in the official Aircraft Guide.
Dive acceleration yes but after reading Gunther Rall in Finland I think that top speeds rule.
Problem is what he was reading includes error, his P-51 did not dive any true 1400 kph. I am sure he had appreciation for how fast the ground approached so I believe when he says the P-51 and P-47 dived much faster more solidly.
And that's about how it works in IL-2. Eventually 80-100 kph faster can close a lead.

Reason: dive accel
