horizontal is still half though.
That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you for the last hour
if that was the case it would accelerate equal parts forward and up
iirc this has been going on for 8 days now…
WRONG
like it cant be simpler than looking at this picture

Yep… unfortunately, Gaijin hasnt even fixed the little stuff yet, so will probably go on for a while longer yet
As soon as falcon 5 drops my Shar im out.
NO!!!
They are not equal. its half → OF INPUT ← not one half of the component two vectors.
28,000 total
he said 50% of that is vectoring horizontally backwards
vectors meet at 90 degrees were is the other 50% going
It doesn’t exist, you can’t calculate it like that. Whenm using angles the two results are not linearly additive or subtractive.
28k total at 60 deg will give you one horizontal vector at 28,000 * 0.5 = 14,000 and the vertical vector at 28,000 * 0.866 = 24,248
cope feetpics stan
there is no logical explanation for you
if you were a harrier pilot you’d accelerate straight up thinking you were going to accelerate forwards.
go take a math course
or ask your math teacher
says the guy who cant even calculate SEP
thats physics btw not math

Before you started this whole argument about vectors, he was arguing that FeetPics clearly didn’t understand the provided materials at all, just randomly picked two parameters, and started comparing apples to oranges. At least that’s how I understood it.
now they are arguing that if a harrier has its nozzle pointed down 60 degrees relative to the 90 degrees
that it will accelerate equally forwards and upwards
anyone would look at that and go no its more up then forwards
This is basic trig. it’s the first thing you learn in trigonometry class.
It’s not linear. if you start with 20k thrust and angle at 45 deg you get about 14,140 for each vector. the total thrust DOES NOT become 28,280. the total is still 20k. you can’t just go a+b on the results because it’s not one dimensional, it’s not linear.
the only one who has been saying that has been you
feet pics said that
that is where it all started
at 60 degrees of nozzle angle you do not get equal parts net thrust both up and backwards
