Not directly. Mass effects acceleration, but not top speed. Top speed is effected by drag and available power to overcome it. However, in case of low speed maneuvering, aircraft with larger power to weight ratio may look faster, because of its greater acceleration. As speed increases, effects of power to weight ratio melt in front of increased drag. In fact, larger mass is desirable in high speed applications as it increases diving performance and helps to conserve kinetic energy.
This is not a question which is faster: D9 or G2. D9 is surely faster (regarding top speed) at all altitudes in
level flight. The question is: what mistakes has SturmKreator done?
