Hi all,
does anyone have reliable data on this engine. In the net I found the most different statements - for example:
"The Jumo type designator "214" just seemed to be space holder for probable further developements of the Jumo 204 to Jumo 211, which have not been used for concrete...
Shortround and Tomo
many thanks for clarification.
Please, one another help:
Why was the F2G with his much more powerful R-4360 engine, in performance data sometimes behind the F4U. See my part of the question in my previous post.
If you can explain this for a layman like me, it would be...
I must come back to this older threat.
The question is, makes it any sense to built and to introduce the F2G as a "Kamikaze" hunter, when we compare the performance data on this chart from krieghund against the F4U-4 and the F4U-5 with the 32W engine increased the overall performance.
Maybe...
Krieghund, do you have any charts from the Republic XP-72, as he used also the R-4360 as the F2G. Maybe interesting to compare the two performance datas.
Harry
Many thanks, Krieghund, for your charts, outstanding interest, great.
Also thanks to you Greg for your data.
As I said wuzak, that are infos you found in the net, that was the reason I asked for official data. :confused:

good story, even the P-52 was not outclassed in...
As I found so different performance data of this two aicraft in the net, I would ask the specialists here in the forum for official or primary sources for performance data and comparison.
Examples for statements I found:
"the Grumman F8F Bearcat, that could do all the F2G could do"
or...
Hello,
maybe someone can help me with a few questions about the Ju 88 P, the units which used them and missions.
Ju 88 P1 - some 40 units built, - but which unit used them and where?
Ju 88 P2 - ? units built, - which unit used them? I´ve found this (Erprobungskommando 25) is this...
is the climb rate I read on wiki from 3,850 ft/min (19.58 m/sec) possible for this fighter
`
I ask, because the Welkin had thick wings and that is not particularly favorable for fast climbing, or?
Maybe anyone have other data?
Harry
After reading many posts about nightfighting and nghtfighters my question goes to Erich about news for his book projects:
"Moskito-Jagd over Deutschland"
And a book with more personal look at the Ju 88G-6, pilot/crews and a/c, radar systems, tactics and so on.
I read/heard about it...
That is what I´m looking for.
So the main reason`s why air strikes much more hindering the German Ground Forces in the west as in the east are the much wider fronts and the tactical inflexibility of the Soviet Air Forces at the Eastern Front.
Many thanks for your help.
The Allied air forces had indeed decisive influence on the German mobility and combat strength of armed forces in the west front, some movements were no longer possible and the Allied fighter-bombers had decisive influence on the output of many fightings.
Was that also at the ostfront, the...
Erich, when is your book about the Moskitojagd (Welter) coming out?
Think it is THE book about the ME 262 nightighter version and long awaited!!!!!!!!!!!!
best regards
Harry
