The lagg has 150km/h of margin ingame vs manual compared to all other planes that have 100.

 

The 50 is in reference to the bonus it gets over every other plane due to pilot anecdotes.

You are thinking of the economy cruise ratings for max range. 

Yes because these are the ratings relevant for what is called cruise. And that is not max speed just before you engine blows up.

 

The Tempest on the other hand goes almost 400 mph at most economical cruise setting. That is THE big difference.

 

The Germans on the other hand were just lucky that by 1945 they didn‘t have to go anywhere anymore. Going at full bore is a smart move then as it increases suvivability for the short time they were airborne.

 

Going full bore ≠ cruise speed

And the tempest is faster than this thing? 

 nope

 

in game specks for K4 1.98 say on deck it can go 614kmh, and if tempest v dont get 13 lbs it aint gona be faster at any alt, only good for tempest is low and mid and this k4 in game is as fast as 11lbs low and faster on higher. And who knows maybe we get 9lbs tempest how things go for allied airplanes in bobp ?

but thouse 4xhispanos should make things magicly disapere infront of tempests

 

kota runs all mods all time unlock, its one of things that distingwishes it from others, so dont expect to see ppl fly k4 without 1.98 mod there, why would anyone not use it when its in game and on server.

 

in game dive spedd spec for 47 say 805kmh for 109k4 850kmh, and i see in dives i start lose aleron parts on 47 at ~900kmh, and on k4 at ~935kmh

Regretfully you did not get any of what was said. Lets get the facts straight.

 

Maximum continuous cruise of the 109K-4 is 645 kmh at , or about 400 mph. 

Maximum continuous cruise of the Tempest 390 mph, or about 628 kph. That's pretty fast.

 

Maximum continuous ratings does not blow the engine, it is far from going 'full bore'. It is called for continuous for a reason. 

For some odd reason, you seem to think max. continuous cruise settings are different for the two. They are not. In both cases it means the maximum speed the aircraft can maintain indefinitely. That is the very definition. 

 

Now the Tempest economical cruise is much slower than that, 285 mph or about 460 kph. It could never go 'near 400' for economic, i.e. max range setting.

BTW that of the 109s economical cruise is similar, 480-500 kph IIRC. Both at about 6000-6500m.  In short, the 109 and Tempest have pretty impressive, but similar cruise speeds, both for economic / maximum cruise. 

[CountZero]

good thing they made 47 before 51, if it was oposite, no one expect few fans would play with 47 online more then a day, now its still better then la5fn or spit9 so atleast 109s will be able to get fix on shooting 47s before 51 comes to get shoot down ?

Not the Russian ones, they cant. Yak-1's lose ailerons the second you move them at the overspeed range. 

Manual says about 620 max for the yak 1 and here is loosing parts over 720 so... It also mentions the problems of pulling Gs over 600 below the manual limit and we have no problems on the game pulling full stick at 600 so the yak is way more overmodelled than the 109s, P47 regarding to dive behabeour. You can find as well first hand testimonies of luft pilots going faster than 900 kph on 109s and also first hand pilot mustang report that they could not follow 109s on the dives because they could reach compresibility speeds and recover them with the trimable  stabilicer while the mustang couldn t use this exploit.

they added in technochat message that warns you that your emergancy ( max power) time is expired, i see on 109k4 after 10 min ofmax power i get that message, and i just still go full power and 2-3min after engine got damaged. Nice new add, no more looking at time  works in 47 also, and if you go over it few min later engine goes yellow.

Time limits are not exact. On G14 i got my engine blowed just after pasing the 10 mins. The 1.42 ata limitit of 1 min you can have sometimes 1:30min. Spit limit of 5 min you can have 7:30 min with no problem, Same with 190, E7s limit times. 

Most of the time margins are arround 50 % more that the limit is indicating while with the Mw50 is about 10-20%

How can a stab trimmer effect anything in Real life, when the reason for compressability causing problems is formation of shock wave from the leading edges of surfaces that disrupted the laminar flow and reduced effectiveness of control surfaces. No amount of trim/stab tab jerking will get you out if your aerodynamic surfaces are not getting sufficient airflow and the shock wave forming at the leading edge of your lift surfaces is actually causing downforce instead of generating lift.

In 109 and 190, the stabilizer is not a trim but stabilizer. The very surface, including the leading edge where the shock wave forms, moves. Pivoting point is somewhere behind the middle point. Stab has effect even when control surfaces get less airflow due to compressibility phenomena.

The closest I got to real aircraft was when I stuck my head into Spitfire Mk I during Duxford airshow, so no flying here but at this rare instance I have to agree with Kurfurst. In reality documents give you specific ratings even without that experience. In Japanese manuals I have rated power (military power in western manuals), max. continous or other times called combat cruise and then there is economy cruise. From Mustang documents I also recall having MP (61" MAP / 3000 RPM), Max continous (46" MAP / 2600 RPM) and economical cruising (30-35" MAP / 2300 - 2400 RPM).

Stab trim is the very same technology modern supersonic jets use as regular elevator. While you cannot move the stick and elevator controls, you still can use the trim to tilt whole "wing".

Understanding that 45 is the latest we going to get in BoX, this is quite the "now or never" situation for us to get the late European air theater equipment from allied side. 

If we wont get the best allied had at the time now, i doubt there will be any new BoX games that will bring us them later on in form of some other campaign.

 

Odds are tho, that we might get "premium collector" planes... and we will buy them like it was digital crack cocaine...

There has been heated argumentation over the last months on whether 1.98ATA did see service and whether 150 octane did see service. And while I don't want to get that argument all over again here in this thread (1.98ATA is here and it's obviously gonna stay as it is), the fact they added the 1.98ATA for the Bf109K-4 is the single most potent argument for 150 octane for the allied birds (in forms of modifications). Advocates of 150 octane therefore should - in my eyes - be happy with the 1.98ATA mod.

I will bet that we wont get 150 oct fuel for allied birds in this iteration, but will have slow trickle of collector planes that will have 150 oct.

I hope this is not the case, unless of course it's the P-47M, then I'll accept it?

 

150 fuel should be added as an option for the Bodenplatte aircraft regardless of what people think, especially since it was used in much greater numbers than the K4 with 1.98 ata.

And the argument that the 9th AAF didnt use 150 fuel doesn't work imo, 8th AAF flew in the same skys as the 9th.

I rather suppose it will be like we got the La-5F (early version) from the La-5 , through an engine modification. Releasing it under collector planes would be just a plain mistake in my opinion from a communication / marketing point of view.

 

That is, of course, if we ever get 150 octane modification - for which I am quite positive. Why am I positive? Well, as shown by various documents and arguments in the previous discussions, the case for 150 octane is stronger or equal than the case for 1.98ATA. We got 1.98ATA, ergo we'll get 150 octane.

It is not. While the „46“ mod with 1.98 ata does make it a great ride, the Mustang and especially the Tempest are faster. The Tempest is even considerably better in zoom climbs, sort of negating its spectacular climb rate.

 

Also, the wonder boost is over after a short while. If your victims have some friends around, you won‘t get home in the K4.

 

That said, I was surprised how much I liked it. Before I like the Emil becuause it flys nuce, the F maybe because it is the best plane when it came out (although I can‘t make much of it), but the rest... unless O have the Erla Haibe, I feel like a prisoner.

P-51D is certainly not faster then a 1.98 ata K-4 until 8km. Tempest is only marginally faster for a small altitude band up to 1.5km

 

Then you have to consider the fact that the K-4 has longer legs then any of the allied aircraft (an absurd reality). Its WEP is double that of any allied aircraft, and its combat power is twice as long as any American aircraft. Sure the Tempest can outrun the K-4 on the deck, for 5 minutes at most...

[Kurfurst]

I guess the sidenote to that graph is that DC engine setting / 1,98ata does not change things very much. It essentially gives a bit of boost to performance under 7000m, an equivalent of about 10-15 kph top speed. Perhaps the molestation is a bit more gentle with the lower DB engine setting / 1,8ata, but it is still the same story.

 

Likewise, 100 or 150 grade fuel / i.e. 67" or 72" on the Mustang or 65" or 70" on the P-47 etc. does not change very much. Its a modest power increase, but the same basic truths hold true

Your understanding of transonic aerodynamics is...flawed.

 

1) The first shock is created at the point where sonic velocities are reached. Most commonly somewhere around 3c/4 in today's airfoils (but those are supercritical anyway).

2) Laminar flow has nothing to do with it. In fact, turbulent boundary layers will delay shock-induced separation. Hence all the fancy VGs on many early jet transports.

3) Wrong. Check out on how stabilators work.

4) Not an airflow problem, but an aft transition of the center of pressure, which in turn messes up your torque-budget around the cop. You're just running out of pitch-authority.

5) It doesnt.

7) They still do.
