there, you figured it out
it only took other people telling you what it is

What number he used as basis doesn’t matter AT ALL for the argument if his math is correct or not. If the number in is wrong then that is easy to correct if the math is applied correctly.
I don’t care about the thrust values of the aircraft, i don’t care about which values are correct. What i do immensely care about is using math the correct way and not spreading misinformation about how to calculate things.
You are using the “half” wrong in this situation because you cannot just add them together for a total. Half does not mean that the other part is just as big, it JUST means half of the initial value, it doesn’t remove one half and leave the other half behind because the math doesn’t work that way with vectoring.

Yes that example had a vertical thrust component of 24,00 and a horizontal one of 14,000

and if you do the math to take the magnitude of total thrust you will get 28,000 lbf
Never thought I’d see basic and objective mathematics become a point of contestation on the War Thunder forums but never say never huh
Yes
so what do you not understand
that is the absolute most basic example of vector math
Ah, the drawing they used when designing the F-35 :P

Yes, and is 14,000 half of 28,000? I.e half of the thrust like he said?
I mean yeah
but how?
Yes 50% of the force pushing it forward and 86 % of the force pushing it up
so now
how much thrust has it?
is it a) 100%
or b) 126%
Exactly, that is precisely what EVERYONE here has been saying. No one else has claimed anything else.

I had assumed 28,000 as a total and 14,000 as a half. Made the assumption that the acceleration would be equal both forward and up
But ohh well at least I learned and remembered things again.
Thanks you all
Probably will never hear the end of this one
