Ju 288 C



Me 262 A-1a



As you can see, Me 288 C is not faster.

But in battle, you start with different speed and on different alt. He need to take off or got air spawned a lot lower than your bomber, so instead of gaining speed, first he need to gain altitude.



And it is, in same conditions (I think we do not have in WT jet fighter slower than fastest piston aircraft, so at the end of the day, after enough time jet will be always faster than piston aircraft).

You are one of the few, who recon A-10 as a jet fighter?



I totally forgot on this Tie-Fighter That thing is not super fast but damn, nimble as humming-bird

So what is faster than them?

Talking on optimal conditions for both aircraft.

So:

P-51H = 776km/h

Spit Mk 24 = 778km/h


Are faster than P.59, Early Yaks and Meteor.

But:

J21RA = 799km/h

J21RB = 850km/h

Kikka = 802km/h

Wiki stats.

Arcade vehicles got engine boost, no one use arcade to compare performance of vehicles.


Yes, dunno why I took both 21, A21RB is not relevant.


So my question stays, what piston is faster than mentioned by you: J21RA and Kikka?
