Don,

But by way of explanation, I looked at about two dozen vehicles and compared their real life speed with SP, and put the results on a spread sheet.

Then I analyzed the data and found that the following SP speed ‘x’ (in red) was the most consistent (third in green):



I had heard that it was a third of Kmh in the past, but I thought I must have been mistaken, or perhaps that was only for tanks.

So many vehicles were under speed I thought ‘a third’ couldn’t be right, and what I found convincing was well known and documented vehicles, like the Jeep and Kuebelwagen, fit with my ‘x’ assessment, not the ‘third of Kmh’.

Jeep: 104Kmh
Current: 24
My X: 25
Third: 35

GPA Amphib Jeep: 104Kmh
Current: 24
My X: 25
Third: 35

Kuebelwagen: 84 Kmh
Current: 21
My X: 21
Third: 28

Schwimmwagen: 84 Kmh
Current: 21
My X: 21
Third: 28

Sorry for jumping to conclusions.
