BF 109 F4 1.42ata

[USARStarkey]

So going purely from memory here, I believe the F4 109 was authorized 1.42 ata boost in nov 42 or something. Top speed going from like 375 to 410mph or so. I have always been curious as to why Germany went to the G-series when on paper that appear to be inferior all the way up till you get to the G-14 in mid 44. While play the new il2, I noticed I couldn't hold 1.42 ata more more than a minute! If this is accurate, it make the switch from E to A make since for sustained performance reasons.

 

However, a video game is not a valid source, so does anyone here know if there is any documentation proving such short boost timeson the F4 at 1.42ata before ruining the engine?

Nah, there isn't anything on kurfursts site that helps unfortunately. Also, i stopped using his site a long time ago when i realized that it serves no other purpose than to twist history by showing only part of a picture, or showing things very out of context.
