They tested MW50 and found the speed gain to be 16km/h at 100m. Given the complexities of the MW50 system, they opted to go for c3-system and higher manifold pressure rating at the time(not just A8s) the C3-injection system basically raised the fuel flow with an added pump. It was said to be especially effective at improving rate of climb, which made it a viable option for the A8s as well. The degree of usage is unknown though. However, it WAS used. By Juli 1944, all A8s were rated with the heightened emergency manifold pressure(no C3, no MW50, no GM-1 explicitly stated in this context), which bumped the speed by 25km/h at altitude(1,65 ata). It was activated by a pull lever on the main dash.

Yes. Behind the cockpit. Rüstsatz 4 and 5, I believe. But A8 nonetheless. Would be nice to see this implemented.

This would be in accordance with the screenshot I just posted

Various German websites say it had MW50, though not all A8s had them. Certain Rüstsätze included nitrous oxide injection for high alt performance boost(not the same as MW50, if I understand correctly). This pic is directly from wikipedia. Like I said, Dunno if it’s correct or not.

The A8 has MW50. If DCS didn’t model it, then this is erroneous.

In real life, it did. If Wikipedia is a reliable source.

Double post

Be that as it may, the DCS Spit has the Merlin 66, which outperforms the BMW801 slightly at all alts. Not sure if the A8 outruns the spit on the deck. Also, the A8 has MW50, which gives a 15-25km/h boost at top speed(not sure which alt). Dunno if this equalizes the performance advantage of the Spit. We need Lancasters and B25s. Fighting Spits will be tough business. At altitude, it’ll be a slaughter.

Not if it’s shallow :)

Hey guys, Is there any in depth comparisons between the DCS versions of the A8 and SpitMkIXc?

For a second there, I thought those gift cards were vouchers for the respective in house weapons addons :D

Point taken.

Up to that point, no cruel or harsh comments were posted. Unless you count 'It's a shame.' into that category. Wiser words, still. In any case, good luck to Polychop and Polydynamics!
