1D performance vs current warbirds

[Gunfreak]

So absolute max speed in the 1D seems to be 684kmh while a 109k4 with MK50 has a top speed at 710.

But I assume top speed for each of these aircraft might not be at the same altitude?

At what altitude did our Corsair preform best vs the Spit, p51, p47, the two 190s and the 109k4?

Have a hunt for a video by Greg on YouTube.  He did an episode of what was the fastest warbird that saw combat.  It’s long (like most of his vids) but very detailed.

That was based on the -4 I believe not the -1D
