    A bit fragile planes of 1.64 looks to me. Most of them wings rips around 400mph in dive. But as i know the metal ww2 planes were quite more durable...

    Or shall we call our planes "the gingerbread flying circus" now?

    LOL u kidding? 2x30mm in yivan's (p38) rfus tonight at D1.5. Fuel only....

    Another P38 1x30mm from D3, no damage whatsoever.

    30mm sucks I guess. But certain planes definitely seem more durable imo

    Keyword- "CERTAIN".

    Not specified or identified but assumed to be known: felt that certain breeds did not make good pets.
    Named but not known or previously mentioned: a certain Ms. Johnson.

    This is not all planes- and some of the big players such as fw190 are FUCKED UP! haha.

    :) Thank you dictionary.com

    as usual, it depends on the side you fly. Today i put 2x37 in 109 and it landed. Yesterday 4x37 in ju52 and it capped field. I got 12x30 in B25 and landed. 110 got 3x37 from me and killed two before die. I guess shit happens.

    Today- I landed 109 with 2x37mm in it "haha" and I also flew red cause I was so pissed and im not sure how- but a 110 almost landed with 46x12mm "from spitfire" and 38x20mm in it. It took the final blow of a total 42x20mm and 58x12mm.

    Bish- you agree with a certain ms.johnson? J/K. haha- yhea- that was pritty good.

    Fucking wish that was me....I lost ele, vstab + hstab (difrerent sorties) from 1x20mm + few 7mm sprays more times than not in 109. 190 seems a little less vulnerable, but only because you can run. And my buff streak is broken (except 1 this ToD) by Ju52 deaths.

    Come fly gold broz

    37mm is a very accurate gun here in WB "it shouldnt be" but none the less- the guns 12mm-37mm need to be looked at- or perhaps the DM of the planes not the gunnery. Because everyone is catching on that these spiked damage deals are just to much to cope with.

    You know, some topics will always be on top.
    Beautiful weather, isn't it?

    My question: does any WW2 warbirds reached 1.0Mach in dive(not jets). I think it is quite close to the overspeeds...

    Yep - as i know, some of the Spitfire XIV, P51D, P47D or Tempest pilots have had this experience with speed over the 500MPH in dive. The structural damage of planes due to overspeed was rare and was announced with hvy flattering before.

    IIRC these things only happened after the war. In post war, upgraded versions of the planes. The XIV might be right, but I think it was a P51H or a P47N that did those things instead of the D versions.

    p47 first versions had problems with compression of elevator in +500 mph, and more in razorback type, the bublecanopy was less claustrophobic but your dive wasn t so nice as in d1-d24 versions

    even the most brave pilot wouldn t dive till mach 1 in planes of WWII :p

    (only the mad of de Havilland, who died trying to reach the mach 1)

    f4u will dive far beyond 500mph in last FH version- Me and several others tested dives in the arena from 20k feet and offline at around 30k feet and going strait down with 100 throttle and wep the plane never become uncontrollable.

    The speed of sound reduces with higher altitude and/or lower temperatures.

    The calculation for the speed of sound at 30,000 feet comes out to 678 mph.

    Could a P-47 exceed that speed? Most people answer with speculations rather than facts.

    The implications for exceeding the speed of sound in a propeller plane are outlined above.
