DM said:Agreed! However, please tell which of these measurements the Corsair fails to meet or exceed that of the P-51 Mustang. Please be sure to score F4U-1 vs. P-51B and F4U-4 vs. P-51D and you'll see my original reason for bringing it up.
I'm getting the feeling that you think I'm defending the original stating of the F4 and P51, whereas in fact the opposite is true. Its one of the reasons why I wanted the revised aircraft stats to be based on a consistent physical basis, using the measures of effectiveness that I mentioned, not just for these types but for the other 200-odd aircraft that have been statted out. Now I dont know yets whether the stats that will be published as calculated but I'm hopeful.
Sweet! And my apologies, as I obviously missed the thread/post mentioning the criteria for selecting data for the expanded book. I was just responding to the book being ready for the experts to look at and wanted to make sure this area which even my meager knowledge caught didn't slip through the cracks a second time. :wink:
I am not questioning what you have done personally, as I was not aware you had looked at it yet DM. I'm very glad you're part of the process, and feel much better about the end result of the forthcoming book!
Thank you for understanding. 8)
