You need to climb like a jet with this. The whole point of your cooling being so powerful is that your engine can SCREAM at 130% power all the time. Get fast on the deck and let the big angelic wings take you to 2-3km at a 35* angle. 3km is ~9000 feet, WELL into low density air and what would be considered high altitude for the time.

[@juanbait9670]

[@ryzkiguruh2942]

I still cannot comprehend how that long of a wing could withstand the high turn rate and have smaller turn radius

[@Flayrr872]

I mean, it seems dumb but also it kinda makes sense. In the Meteor lineup, the versions with longer wings turn better, as an example (though I'm not sure if the same applies for normal Spitfires and clipped-wing versions).

[@pluemas]

That's because it's ridiculous warthunder physics. In 1944, this plane would not be able to withstand that level of turn, especially with those two enormous radiators and guns in its wings. Warthunder just made up the specs and its ability. Only a few test flights were ever done and on one of them its wings snapped on landing. The Ta 152H, it's closest equivalent that saw service, has a dubious combat record, but in its first engagement one of them had its wings fail in the turn and it plowed into the ground. in all likelihood, the plane couldn't pull the forces that the game claims. Yes theoretically the large wings are great for turning but in actuality there was a reason why no one else used anything like it. Wunderwaffe nonsense.

[@TinyBearTim]

Large wings = loads of lift

[@pluemas]

​@@TinyBearTim it's nonsense, no way it could have turned like that with German production quality in 1944. Yes large wings = good turn, but the forces on the wing, and the radiators adding weight would have made this thing snap if it tried that rate of turn. Long levers amplify the effect of a force. There's a reason why no other plane tried this style of wing, it's just not a good design for a fighter that needs to turn. the closest modern thing to it is probably the U2 and gliders, both of which are famous for being sensitive to high G turns.

[@TinyBearTim]

@@pluemas warthunder don’t model production quality

[@iffracem]

@@TinyBearTim "large" wings does not automatically correlate to lift or turn rate. Long narrow wings or high aspect ratio (generally) give good lift at higher altitude, but do not give a good turn rate. Lower aspect ratio, (stubbier) wings have less inertial resistance to begin a roll or turn, and less momentum to allow a quicker stop to that roll. There's a reason all high altitude planes have long narrow wings, and mid/lower altitude planes have shorter, wider wings. The heavy radiators placed wide out on the wings would exasperate the poor roll/turn rate. At higher altitude planes have high aspect ratios, at these altitudes the negative effects of the longer wing is negated to a degree. This was a high altitude bomber interceptor, never designed to dog fight anything smaller than B29's etc. At low altitude it would have been a dog in comparison to planes designed for that role. Gaijin have got the physics wrong, again. But heh, they gotta get people to want to buy/grind their way to get it somehow.
