Henschel Hs 123 data

[Lurberri]

The Henschel Hs 123 has a lower top speed than its cruising speed (173 mph max speed versus 179 mph cruise speed), which is nonsense. In most sources I've reviewed, I've seen cruising speeds ranging from 176 to 197 mph and a max speed between 210 and 214 mph.

P.D.: I forgot to mention that it is when it carries two 50kg bombs and the 150L drop tank but that doesn't change the fact that it's not possible to have a higher cruising speed than a higher top speed. When it has no load, and in the editor, it has a max speed of 193mph.

Where do you see this? Both have 179 cruise and 193 max

On the unit's page, the 10.(Sch)/LG 2, if the 150 L drop tank and two 50 kg bombs are added, the maximum speed decreases to 173 mph, but the cruising speed remains unchanged at 179 mph (since the cruising speed is never changed in any aircraft, regardless of the load). It is expected that the maximum speed in all aircraft decreases with the addition of a bomb load or an auxiliary tank (or both), but I have not seen until now a case where it decreased below the cruising speed.
