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

Another 3 minutes of my life I won't get back. Starting to use the "Ignore" function more now and wonder if there are any posts that I'll see any more.

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 · Jun 9, 2021

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.

Pretty sure that issue got ironed out much earlier in the war.
