Whats the fastest plane in the game

[Thbran]

what faction has the plane whit the best max speed and acceleration

[Illusionyary]

CL-13 for jets, for props something like the P-51H or the Ta-152s. Trouble is the statcards aren't completely reliable.

The Do-335 is the fastest WW2 prop aircraft, the British postwar prop aircraft that go faster are not in game.
MiG-17 goes faster I believe.

[ShadZep]

The hunter is one of the fastest

[ShadZep]

The fastest bomber is the SO4050

Several aircraft can reach the ingame speed limit of Mach 1. A few in game were IRL capable of breaking Mach 1, but they're nerfed to keep that speed limit.

They said they’re experimenting with supersonic physics, but nothing is guaranteed. I don’t care as much if they add supersonic jets, but what would be cool:
It would be cool if you’re in a dive and you can break the sound barrier, and you get a vapor cone and the sonic boom.
If they actually modeled in the speed of sound, imagine a supersonic jet flying by in ground battles, you don’t hear the jet but only when it just passes you you hear the sonic boom and the jet. Or if you’re in an air battle and a jet is coming out of a supersonic dive and is going Mach 1, and you don’t hear the jet at all coming because it’s going faster than the sound it generates. Or you’re watching a battle 5 km away and a jet is diving on another and is pulling up, and because of the distance there is pause where you don’t hear anything, and then you hear the faint deep *thud* of the jet breaking the sound barrier... omg that would be so f***ing awesome, pure quality right there.

Mach 3.3 I think, it was unarmed and a recon aircraft, so I doubt it will never be in game, at outside of a single player scenario.

try the YF12 prototype then, an interceptor version of the sr71 with missiles
