Right...
Speed of sound: Decreases with decreasing temperature only, not altitude. Temperature decreases with altitude in normal conditions. So therefore it's safe to assume that SOS (Speed Of Sound) decreases with altitude.
Now, I understand why you'd like Korean era jets in a game that has this kind of realism, but I don't see why anyone would want them. Jets are among the most hated planes in the IL-2 community and personally I'd never be more happy than to not see anything post WW2 in IL-2.
It is not possible to go supersonic in IL-2, or at least to have the actual effect, as when planes go transsonic in IL-2 they'll start to rip to pieces. I don't know anything about the engine or the limitations of it, but I know that supersonic flight was never a planned part of IL-2.
Have a go at it if you'd like, but I'm sure that you'll find supersonic flight impossible or extremely hard to do in IL-2.
