[@AdamTheEnginerd]

[@calebnilsson]

Adam, I just started watching your videos and they’re very entertaining. I’m learning a lot watching you. But one of the best things you’re doing is these performance metrics. They’re very hard to find online. You’ve said in other comments that you don’t want to do too many planes in one video, so what if instead you just compile the performance metrics all in one place as you go along? I’d love to be able to do side by side analysis of climb characteristics, energy retention, etc. Keep up the good work man!

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Thanks for the praise! You mean climb, speed, MER, etc in 1 file? Because I already have files on speed and MER in the description of my videos.

[@calebnilsson]

Adam514 yes, all the applicable statistics. All I’m saying is that it would be cool if there was a single place where all the information was located. It would be even cooler if there was a way to choose an airplane and compare its performance in different applicable categories against any foes it may face within its BR range. I’m just brainstorming, more about the war thunder community than something you specifically should do. It would definitely be easier as a group effort, it sounds like a lot of work. It would be interesting for you to test acceleration as a function of airspeed though. Some aircraft accelerate very well at low speed and poorly at high speed or vice versa. Again, thanks for the videos!

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

I've been toying with a similar idea, but yeah the amount of testing required is huge. By comparing climb rate between aircraft, you have a very good idea on their comparative acceleration. Faster planes accelerate better than slow planes when they are near their top speed, so top speed plays a roll when you're at medium-high speeds.

[@Nikarus2370]

Love the video. Want to point out though. In the roll tests on props you should really include a counter clockwise roll as well. Some planes (especially lighter ones) are more affected by engine torque, and thus have different roll characteristics in the direction opposite their prop spin. And perhaps a pair of cw and ccw rolls at a different speed (1 at 400kph IAS, and another at 700. As many planes that are snappy on rolling at 300-500 become bricks in roll above 600)

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Thanks! All these planes have their prop spin in the same direction, so the comparison is still valid. Plus the speed was decently high, and I think that makes torque relatively less influential. Rolls at different speeds would be useful indeed.

[@baderq8ty99]

amazing video, i have been waiting for a very detailed comparison/analysis of WT planes for a long time, the only way i think you could improve is by adding more planes in these videos.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Wow, great job and thanks for the effort! I'm more of an intuitive person who could never understand why I couldn't determine whether I'd like a plane in advance from the Gaijin stat cards. Having studied your results and knowing which of these aircraft I enjoy most the answer is MER. I would definitely rank these 1st.G56, 2nd. F4U-4B, 3rd. BF 109K-4 and, 4th. Spitfire MK XIV which is your MER ranking of them as well. I could subjectively argue the 'durability' of these aircraft would rank similarly, an attribute I know I like (and dislike in Spits).

K4 got a monstrous energy retention when using WEP during zoom climbing with the speed of 600-700kph , you can climb about 1.5km-2km depending on the altitude and speed , this give the K4 a chance of survive allied fighter retaliation after a failed Boom n' Zoom

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

At those speeds, every fighter on this list would be able to do that about as well as the K4.

[@tartzmir7934]

@@AdamTheEnginerd K4 can last a little longer , I use that to kill spits LF and F2G , they started stalling when my speed reach 300kph , since K4 only advantage is when it attack an enemy flying under it and don't have the energy advantage

[@andrewmandrona7891]

I like seeing this kind of video, and finding a way to quantify things like dive, stall, high-speed climb, and other factors would be nice to see. That, and it shows how Gaijin believes themselves to be above gaining a wikipedia-level understanding of these aircraft. The F4U-4 had a superior climb rate to the K-4 (at low altitude, at least) in addition to being faster at all altitudes by a small margin: it, too used a fluid-coupled, variable speed supercharger, but with an additional supercharger and intercooling.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Stall is proportion to sustained turn radius. Nah K4 will always climb better than F4U. F4U didn't have a variable speed supercharger either, it's quite unique to German production aircraft.

[@andrewmandrona7891]

@@AdamTheEnginerd the R-2800-18W used on the F4U-4 (not earlier ones) used a hydraulic coupling on the second supercharger. I couldn't find out if it had gears as well, but it did have some variable speed capability. As far as climb performance, low-altitude performance seems to favor the F4U-4: the US military made a report (#7289) putting the F4U-4's maximum climb rate at 22m/s, matching the one on Wikipedia. K-4 sources are conflicted, with Wikipedia claiming 18m/s with WEP, "The Best FIghter of its Generation: Messerschmidt Bf 109" claiming 25m/s, and other sources simply saying "the climb rate was phenominal."

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

I'll need to see the source for the hydraulic coupling, doesn't make much sense since the US didn't use that at all. A lot depends on military or WEP, boost, and weight.

[@andrewmandrona7891]

@@AdamTheEnginerd The source for fluid coupling: _R-2800: Pratt & Whitney's Dependable Masterpiece_ by Graham White, Pages 144-145. Climb rates for the K-4 stated that it was the climb rate with emergency power. I assume that it was the same case for the F4U-4's stated climb rate.

You should do a second video with the La-9, Tempest, and P47m and the other popular but not perfectly meta planes. Id like to see how my p47m stacks up against its competition.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

47M is premium though.

[@alexuseless967]

Hi, Adam. Hope you still check notifications to old videos. Have you seen the F4U-4B repair cost nowadays? It is insane, it is bigger than such of a 7.7 jets!

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Meh I don't care about repair costs though.

[@volatile5460]

In arcade, the F8F-1 has its BR lowered from 6.0 to 4.7. I think it would be cool to see how much of a performance difference there is between it and other 4.7 aircraft of both the US and other nations.

[@AdamTheEnginerd]

Big one, but in arcade armament matters more than in RB so that's why.
