Interestingly I just compared test figures listed by Mercedes Benz AG archives Stuttgart for these engines and the ASB and ASC have almost identical crusing and climing conditions.
The ASC simply adds DC motor maximum performance. So the ASC motor is really the best of both worlds, between the ASB modelling and DC modelling. Put the cruise/climbing condition performance of one, with the high speed condition of the other and whammo: you've got an ASC!!
(ie. combat climb = DC, max speeds = DC, FTH/5min= DC, sustained climb = ASB, cruise = ASB, rated altitude/30min = ASB).
Easy.
