Performance of the Fw 190A on the Deck?

[Boomerang]

Gentlemen:

Now that the forum is running again, I can thank you for your responses.

I must say (based I'm sure on a much smaller sample) that I share Nick's thoughts - there doesn't seem to be the simple correlation between reports of fighter versus fighter combat that you might expect from published performance data.

One final point - is there any possibility that the fuel status of an aircraft would have a noticeable effect on performance i.e. an aircraft low on fuel would have greater speed than one with near full tanks?

Regards
