I guess Moat got his guns alignment fixed because he claimed 4 Fw190s on Jan 1 1945.

On Jan 1 1945 Allied a/c made ~175 claims (damaged-destroyed) during Bodenplatte. So Allied a/c were not totally outclassed by German fighters.

Interesting that Moat hit the wing fuel tank of the 109.

How much aileron deflection with 30kg of force being applied?

P-47 was very armored?

Exhaust shields don't do anything to stop giving away the a/c's position.

There is a reason for being named Spitfire.

As 1943 a/c didn't have gyro gun sights, would say no.

That photo is of Mulberry B "Port Winston" at Arromanches (Gold Beach). Mulberry A The Mulberry harbour assembled on Omaha Beach at Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer was for use by the American invasion forces. Mulberry "A" (American) was not securely anchored to the sea bed as Mulberry "B" had been by the British, resulting in such severe damage during the Channel storms of late June 1944 that it was considered to be irreparable and its further assembly ceased.[15] It was commanded by Augustus Dayton Clark.

Maybe Wiki has it wrong. DB 605AM Dry weight: 756 kg (1,667 lb) Merlin 61 Dry weight: 744 kg (1,640 lb) Merlin be lighter than the DB.

You mean like this, http://zenoswarbirdvideos.com/Images/spit/SPIT9MANUAL.pdf

The G-10 entered Luftwaffe service after the K-4. The D-9 entered Luftwaffe service in Sept 1944 slightly before the G-10. What was the performance differences between an early production P-51D and the DCS P-51?

The B-25 would not be that out of place as it flew with the RAF 2 TAF.

2 seconds and found this, http://zenoswarbirdvideos.com/Images/spit/SPIT9MANUAL.pdf

If one is interested in history as well as gaming a good read on the 2TAF. http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/obj/s4/f2/dsk2/ftp03/MQ50093.pdf

Tiger deck and belly armour is 25mm. To get a belly shot on the Panther a very acute angle would be required increasing the thickness to 50mm or more. Never mind hitting the road would deform the bullet and velocity would decrease.

But the Spitfire did drop bombs.
