Why still no dive acceleration difference?

Have you actually done tests in-game or are you just thinking that this is the case? I'm not trying to be obtuse but years ago I did some testing with a couple of players side by side and there was an obvious difference between different types of aircraft. It wasn't quite as pronounced as some people thought they would be... but it was there. I wish we still had the tracks but this was years and years ago.

I agree.

Only a couple of weeks ago a squad mate and myself were practising for a SEOW mission (HSFX i know, but), and we were testing how to best fight J2M's up high in a 47, and we did some side by side dive tests. All planes do not dive the same for sure.

please please

now set a quick mission

altitude 2000.

u will find Fw190A9 1944 be at 720km/h before hit the ground with 100 throttle

try La5 1942 same, 720km/h before hit the ground 100 throttle

please do that test. it is easy and fast to prove the defect

also please remember to press the "pause" botton before crash

please please try it from 10000m, and see the difference.

I am serious, do not take it as a joke

Please go WIKI if u do not understand what i am talking about.

Sorry for anything offensive

please also go Il2 compare to check La5 1942 and Fw190A9 ---- altitude vs TAS

U will really support me if u read the diagram and understand the difference.

"La5 1942 can not compare Fw190A9 in TAS at all Altitude except within 2km steep diving."

does it sound rediculous?

also please make sure u understand the difference between

diving speed limit

&

diving speed acceleration

I do understand the difference. i also understand that 2000m is not enough to show much, and that its not just the speed at the bottom, its the time to get there. Put them both side by side with to people in, and do the test from higher, and then come back.

It may well be that it should be more pronounced, but you will notice differences.
