Old was analogue, would just give radar frequency and direction.
Sky Guardian is the same RWR from the Buc S2B and FA2 and largely the same as the Hawks. So a digital RWR that will tell you what is targeting you
I just noticed something interesting though. Both the FRS1e and FRS1 (SQV) got the new RWR, even though technically it should just be the FRS1 (SQV)
@Crazed_Otter I’ll take this over here
I did wonder this myself and asked and this was flame’s response which makes sense
and that lines up with your sources. The engine IS cooled, but is also running at a higher temp when water injection is enabled. So it cancels it out.
Makes sense. My know-how can be a bit iffy when it comes to Gas Turbines!
As is mine, which is why I was curious as to why engine temps didnt go down when water was applied :D
They dont.
Not only are they not dogfighting in a hover. But they can sit at very high engine RPMs for waaaay longer IRL than they can in-game.
If you are referring to VIFF (Vector in Forward Flight) where they angle the nozzles to get increase turn performance, or perform a maneuver like a braking roll, then this wont have any impact, it doesnt change the airflow into the engines and is only for a few seconds at most. Sure, in a very very protracted fight they cant sit at full combat thrust, but that doesnt differ for any other aircraft, nothing can sit at full combat thrust indefinetly.
in-game the engine settings are:
0-80% is normal engine ratings
81-100% is combat thrust
100%+ is water injection.
Sound like marketing lie
Yep, which is what I oriignally stated. Gaijin doesnt beleive half the primary documents for British vehicles but believes 100% of the soviet ones
Like ? Not saying in a mean way. Just asking nicely
Probably waaaaay more than I can think of right now
APHE on the 75mm (Though that’s been fixed)
Is the limited WEP actually realistic?
If so is the time allowed for WEP correct?
Cant even make the WEP last for 1 dogfight anymore.
WEP on the Harrier is water injection, and so has a tank of water specifically for it, once the water is gone, its gone.
Only figure I can find is 90 seconds. I have no idea if that is correct or not or what it is in-game
It was only really meant for use to assist with take-off and landing and less in combat
Guess we have no.argument then - time sounds about right without checking in game
Shame as the harriers rapid over heating nerfed the time on WEP anyway and actually made the harrier playable
Shooting star for eg was a monster with unlimited WEP - even had its BR increased. Bet it doesnt go back down to.7.7 though
Its getting harder to keep.playing this game
Should take about 15 minutes to overheat at 100%, currently it takes about 2.5 minutes.
Its actually kinda dumb
but typically 100% throttle (which is combat thrust setting) would be enough if not for the overheating issue.
Coupled with the rest of the FM being a total mess… and the Harriers are definetly struggling right now.
Which is why I barely play it at the moment, maybe the odd game of Naval, or been enjoying squadding up in Tonkas in NE, but thats about it.
Between unfinished and chronically broken vehicles and a lack of decent gamemodes. Yeah. Its hard to enjoy these days
I know it isnt and its just luck but it feels personal
I buy kfir, was loving it- gets put to 13.3 weeks later
F16 MLU another favorite - nerfed CMs
Etc etc
You find anything that you like= nerf incoming
If the T58 nerf has turned a heavy into being 1 popped by everything its probs the end
Take the recent missile buffs. Im using the barrack at the time- now derbys are left behind. Why dont they wait and buff all at the same time as they have just made a new bunch of useless jets
Yeah. I want to try out the buffs on the FA2, but I dont want to touch the insanity which is the compression at the moment
which buffs?
From what I can tell only the AIM-120B was buffed on the FA.2.
If anything it acts as a nerf by proxy. FA2 is now up against FAR more dangerous Sparrows and Fox-3s than ever before.
The 120 buffs.
Even in ASB avoiding the worst of the uptiers… I just dont have the motivation to deal with it currently
