OK, granted according to
http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.org/p-47/p-47.html it could get up to 473 mph---761 kph which would indeed be an 8 but we don't fight air battles at 38,000 feet in this game and the best that aircraft can do down on the deck is 367 mph ( 590 kph ) so it should be a 6 and NO I am not interested in the speed of a shallow dive with drag ( and gravity pull ) from the weight of weapons-----there comes a time ( should have been years ago ) when "enough is enough.", there is really only so much nitpicking I can stand
A "simple" rule of thumb that will apply in almost cases is the ground attack speed is one less than maximum speed and that is GOOD ENOUGH and if the maximum is used and it's 1 more than the sea level speed that is GOOD ENOUGH no matter how gratifying it is to dig out a book and say AH HA !!...... we're out by one. We give it 8 and it should be 4....... THAT is an issue not 8 should be 7
