I think you misunderstand me, I am not suggesting that they crippled Spitfire performance at all, and I am sure they streched out the throttle differently, too.

However maybe the SPitfire IX was left with the overheat model from planes going to 110% and therefore never overheats?

Just a a guess...

Thanks for clearing it up.
Well, it is a distinct possibility but I feel that chance isn't really big.

IMHO it is more likely that is another example of game limitations in a way (same way as FW-190 has bar that wasn't there IRL).
Some fighters got the best out of these limitations and some get worse...

Spitfire MkIX have unique overheat model, what you see in game is made deliberately.

DKoor, youre a glutton for testing punishment, whaddya say? :P

I just did it... and as we already suspected, it's the 1 or 0 thing.
Another words, same time on water inj. @ 103% and same time @ 110% throttle.

There was a Document released from the RAF complaining that the RAF pilots were using WEP boost at every opportunity, and not just in an emergency, and were creating a lot of work for mechanics. Maybe someone has that doc.

You mean this one:




The POH instructions are not "guidelines" except in the realm of fantasy. This is due to the fact the physics of airplanes dictates very low margins so following the procedures outlined in the POH is an essential element to flight safety.

While we may hear some spectacular stories from a few who got lucky, we do not hear from those that died as a result.

The FAA concludes that engine are the number one cause of accidents and improper use procedures are most likely going to be direct underlying factor in your death.







All the best,

Engaging over 100% throttle without WEP?

It is not only possible, it is common in aircraft.

Once again, the margins of flight are just that tight. Unlike your car which runs ~30% capacity, an aircraft engine's maximum continuous power is generally the 100% capacity point.




All the best,

I asked in game not IRL . But still thanks m8 . Good to know that.
