B-26 Bomber Max Speed Question

[MrsVonSturm]

Hello, guys. I'm building a bomber interception training mission which includes B-26 bombers. Do you know any trick to get them past 200 mph? They carry no bombload and fly in straight line at 3000 mts to a WP with Speed:450 and Priority:High, and I'm trying to set the max speed for them (should be 280 mph). Thanks in advance.

Hi again. I've been testing my mission and kind of found a solution, by getting rid of the Command:Formation MCU and even by deleting the target link between the "wingmen" bombers and the leader one.
Now, the unlinked bombers, flying to a different WP for each one (carefully set, close to each other), can reach a good IAS 235 mph (IAS 380 km/h), which seems more realistic as a high cruising speed for bombers returning home with an empty bomb bay.

 

I've made my maths, so:

With MCU Command:Formation plus target links between leader and others:

 - At 3000m : IAS 330 kph = TAS 389 kph = TAS 241.4 mph

 

With bombers unlinked and not in formation:

 - At 3000m : IAS 380 kph = TAS 448 kph = TAS 278 mph
