F6F-5N Historical climb rate

[Mods]

Max climbrate for a spaded F6F-5N is around 2048 Ft per minute, historically it was up over 3400, what the hell gaijin?

Obviously Gaijin have a personal vendetta against you and purposefully under-model every and all vehicles you want to control.

OR maybe you should cite your sources. This website here:

Suggests that the F6F-5's Rate of Climb at Sea Level was between 2,020 FPM and 2,260 FPM, which is in the ball-park with the in-game flight model.

Who pissed in your cheerio's m8? and by the same source you gave the War thunder hellcat is underperforming by 200 FPM, and from experience in WT the hellcat climbs much slower then it should above 6000 Ft.

climbrate isnt even a static number it changes with altitude, not sure what altitude the numbers on the statcard are for though i'd guess sea level as that would make most sense, but something you should know as a long time player is that the statcards lie, you can often beat those numbers using manual engine control

Ye i know statcards are wildly inaccurate in most cases, but the drop off after 4 thousand feet in WT is absolutely insane even with manual control, and for a fully stock F6F its even worse below that. just climbing off the runway in a stock aircraft you cant pull it to 10 degrees and sustain without stalling.

On every statcard stands a alt for what they took their stats

The only sources I've seen list 3400 feet per minute don't source their sources.
