    @Farewellntchii partially Correct. For example the P-61 was big asf but still went 400mph, but it couldn't turn for sh't. On the contrary, the P51 was comparatively small, went just over 430mph, and had one of the best turn rates of the war.

    @Farewellntchii heavy fighters are supposed to outrun light fighters, while light fighters out turn them

    @Farewellntchii the vertical rudder trim thing was unintentional and the speed was like that so I t could keep up with the AI fighters I used to test it. I'll try to slow it down and remove the trim when I have the time ig, thx for pointing it out :)

    So… this thing outruns my Vampire, an aircraft which breaks the sound barrier in a dive… maybe reduce the speed a bit my friend… otherwise, good plane
