Acceleration comparisons

Horseback, you should check the 109g6 if it's an ingame porked fm you're looking for. Real life figures according to Kurfurst's 109 site of 1.3 ata and 2600 rpm at 480m should give 530kph. At emergency power (110%) a g6 should do 590kph at sea level. Kurfurst believes that the 530kph @ 1.3ata on the deck (480m if we're nitpicking!) was the defacto acceptance test for the Luftwaffe of this aircraft, if it couldn't do it, it went back to the factory. The only performformance plot I seen, again on K's site, that comes near the ingame performance is of a g6 carring a full 300litre droptank. I live in hope that someday it's performance ingame will be "historical", but nobody seems all that bothered about fixing it.

There's a gazillion of tests showing 520-530 kph on the deck for G model 109's at combat power. Now if you were to use the emergency power (1 minute time limit) to increase that speed, you'd end up at around 540-550. Not that you'd get there within a minute. 590 is totally out of question, unless you're using MW50. You'd need about 1800-1900 hp to achieve that speed.
