I thought the Pratt was optimised for a much lower altitude.

I just did, the Bearcat is the F8 not the pretty blue line.

I posted "the numbers" the F4U-4 and 5 and the P-51H all have two stage engines and outperform the Bearcat especially at altitude, the Spitfire 21 has a two stage griffon so why do you expect a different result?

 

[VA5124]

i concede i really thought i had it but i dont ill be leaving now

Pretty blue line was powered by this

But not until well after WW II.
The F8F uses a single stage supercharger and had nowhere near the altitude performance.
This version of the R-2800 didn't have a hope of fitting in an F8 airframe.

 

[Thumpalumpacus]

In a sort of bluey Bearcatty sort of a way?

If it's Navy blue it's gon' get you!
