Check the climb rates of Bf109s, FM team. They look way off. 8/s

 

+1 Main page http://kurfurst.org/index.html#tac_Ger

Abfangjager you have a big collection of Bf109 serries info. Can you provide climb rate for all Bf109s we have in game? :yes:

 

(Rate climb of a F8 Bear cat was around 23,2m/s and it made the record in climb; K4 has 24m/s)

 

I will Research. But in the house. I am at work.

G2/trop should have:

 

Max climb rate achieved at S.L with 1.42 ata 3950 ft/min = 20.07m/s( it is the highest of all climb rates from the table)

Tables are in the link! Check table number 5

[Caddylack 1,538]

Answer 1.  Because they have increased XP and Lion gains, and Gaijin doesn't want to see another D13 fiasko in HB's. - That would be my guess anyways.

That's not legit, they're meant to have worse performence than their allied counterparts due to the usage of foreign fuel by their serving country as well as insufficient maintanence, thought the german P-47 seems to be too much worse than the allied one (4m/s less climb and 50km/h less topspeed seems just ridiculous, I hope this will change).

 

After all the intention behind these changes are acceptable, but you should keep it in a way not to make premium planes too unactractive in order to attract players to buy them...I can't imagine somebody buying the P-47 with this kind of poor performence.

Max climb rate achieved at S.L with 1.42 ata 3950 ft/min = 20.07m/s( it is the highest of all climb rates from the table)

Tables are in the link! Check table number 5

G6:

 

"This Chart Little Wrong. Look G6 weight 3320 kg. This weight G6/R6. This table about Bf109 G6/R6 (2 mg151 gondolas)

 

Bf109 G6/R6 most used models . Most of the time, is considered as the main model."-Abfangjager

 

Ergo it is closer to the Bf109G6/R5 model with 30mm.( I hope at the end of the day we can have accurate Climb rates for R5 version)

[Sajonez 2,694]

Can you please check out Corsair"s climb rate? I think its too high. The speeds are OK. I though they are overtuned too but I found out more material where I can see huge difference between military power and WEP using water-injection system.

 

Also I ve noticed that U-1c has better climbing and turn-rate than U-1d. I have somewhere document which can maybe help you because there was a take-off weight comparsion of those variants. U-1c is heavier due to Hispano MkI/AN-M2 cannons. The pilots notes are also saying that U-1c is less agile than 6x50cal Browning version.

Nothing for the D520? :/

 

Yes that is also incorrect

 

http://kurfurst.org/Performance_tests/109E_French_trials/french_109e_performanceT.html

 

states a Maximum of 15.1 m/s was achieved by the BF 109 E-3 at 4000m

 

At 1000m the climb rate is stated as  13.88 m/s

 

Please Trojan take a look at these documents and compare them to notes your teams have to clarify any clerical errors.

 

yes, plus it should be noted those graph were made from tests using the standard 92 octane fuel of the FAF, that is, richer than the fuel then used in the Luftwaffe (87 octane). Other tests were done in the CEMA which indeed reached a top speed of 570km/h... Pushing the engine to the limit and using 100 octane fuel!

 

Please Gaijin guys, keep in mind that was a time of great propaganda... You'd better double check every document!

Does nobody ever read  the notes anymore....

 

 

 

However, with regards to climbs, the
obtained results are clearly inferior to the performance claimed by the
German manual. Yet, four single climbs were done, in order to find out
the optimal speed before the climbs done on the 12/23/39.

    The table below shows the resulting difference between the claimed per-
formance and the obtained performance.

Table

 

    (The 5% tolerance claimed in the german booklet is widely exceeded.)

The climbing was done at the Center with the radiators open up to 4000 m.

then progressively closed until 8300m. It is possible that the different components (1)

used by the German tests could permit climbing with closed radiators.

[AbfangJager 8,028]

Does nobody ever read  the notes anymore....

If you read the above, it says they needed to open the radiators due to high coolant and oil temp, the engine begins to overheat at higher altitudes..

 

There is no way the BF 109 E-3 could ever manage 20 m/s climb speed perhaps 17m/s radiator closed.

What's the point of posting random performance charts based of flawed tests of captured aircraft?

[TyberV 1,382]

That's not legit, they're meant to have worse performence than their allied counterparts due to the usage of foreign fuel by their serving country as well as insufficient maintanence, thought the german P-47 seems to be too much worse than the allied one (4m/s less climb and 50km/h less topspeed seems just ridiculous, I hope this will change).

 

After all the intention behind these changes are acceptable, but you should keep it in a way not to make premium planes too unactractive in order to attract players to buy them...I can't imagine somebody buying the P-47 with this kind of poor performence.

The German P-47 also has the lowest reward stat of any other tier 9 fighter, even less than tier 7. This plane is already unattractive and will be completely pointless if these nerfs to its stats are implemented.

[Delip 74]

What about Bf-109K4?

1). Virage time at 1000m: 21.75 sec

It is better than your G-2 and G-10 figures. I don't have any performance tests of virage, but I really can't imagine how kurfurst with gondola guns can have virage time better than gustavs without it. Gustavs have lighter wing loading.

2). Max climb rate: 24.00 m/sec

Bf-109K-4 without gondola guns and with MW-50 had max climb rate 22,5 m/sec. Bf-109K-6 with Mk-108 gondola guns (this modification is roughly equal to our game model) have only 20,25 m/sec.

3). Max speed: 585 km/h at SL, 715 km/h at 7500m

At SL Bf-109K-4 with Mk-108 gondola guns perfectly tuned, gj. But at 7400m Bf-109K-4 with Mk-103 gondola guns can reach only 707 km/h.

Speeds for the bf 109 are wrong.

 

 

Speed for the BF 109 G2

 

Max speed at 23,500 feet is 375 mph or 603 km/h with 1.3 ata

 

Max speed  at SL  305  mph or 490 km/h with 1.3 ata

 

 

Results based off table 4 in the following page.

 

http://kurfurst.org/Tactical_trials/109G2_britg2trop/MET-109Gtrop_WdimPerf.html

 

 

Still the Germans have better then historical performances...and appear to have a much greater speed then what has been recorded.

 

 

Same with your G2 data, Allied tests, especially the early 109 ones were flown with crashed or improperly maintained planes, so why bother?

 

Edit: Otherwise lets take the Soviet tests of the P51 as the performance benchmark....

 

This calculated performance sheet was prepeared just a month before the operational introduction of the Bf 109G, by when serial production was already under way. The calculations were acceped as the official performance specifications for the Bf 109G-1 subtype, as these very figures were repeated as reference values in a report on the ERLA factory's speed measurements on 13 serial production aircraft (along with the +/- 3% tolerance limits, ie. a minimum 640, maximum 680 km/h being the borders for acceptance by BAL). 

     Appearantly the calculated dataset proved rather accurate - the avarage of the ERLA values obtained on production airframes was 652 km/h  (the accepted airfames results ranged from 632 to 664 km/h, the three rejected airframes below the minimum tolerance not included), and three production airframes exceeding the reference specification; however the avarage the rated altitudes measured (ranging 6450m to 6950m) was lower, 6700m, probably as a result of the greater variance in thermal effiency than expected originally.
    It should be noted that the ERLA values were obtained with 120 mm wide radiator flap opening, about three times of the usual standard Schnellflugstellung (which was 40mm), resulting in higher drag and must have reduced the obtained speed results slightly.

    Trials at E-Stelle Rechlin on a Bf 109G-1 - the results were later becoming the official specifications for the type in a Kennblatt issued on 8 March 1943 - resulted in 650 kph at 6400m; the tested aircraft appearantly had a fixed tailwheel resulting 12 km/h speed loss, which needs to be taken account.

    Soviet performance trials at the NII VVS with a captured Bf 109G-2,  Werknummer 14 513 are in remarkably good agreement with the Messerschmitt datasheet below : 666 kph was achieved at 7000m altitude. This aircraft's tailwheel was semi-retractable and thus the results are directly comparable to the Messerschmitt datasheet below.

    Similiar factory trials as Erla's were performed at the W.N.F. and Messerschmitt Regensburg factories underlined Rechlin's (and thus Erla's as well) values.

• For graphical comparison of these trials, please follow this link.

      All aformentioned trials were done at Steig- und Kampfleistungs, ie. 1,3ata boost and 2600 rpm.

You are undermining the effort to bring the planes into the real shape. Stop it.

 

German sources are very close to the Allied. It is impossible for K4 to reach 24m/s with gondolas. It had max 22,5m/s without them!

See that post, the data from the links are in German!
