I mean ill take the chance for a pac puma
I’ve just seen the datamine… it’s looking very bad. They gave it worse sustained turn time, worse top speed (629km/h) and worse climb rate (15.1 m/s).
I am simply speechless.
I’ve never seen a source stating that the plane was slower than the original prototypes. I’d like to know where Gaijin takes these info from…
I hope (probably in vane) that the stats will be corrected on battlepass release

screw the rest of this battle pass I’m getting the L3/33 deco even if its only for ships

I made for the re.2005 MM.495 VDM a suggestion years ago and I showed the differences between the re.2005 MM.495 VDM and the other re.2005
It should get the modified DB605AM engine from the Germans, that makes it faster, instead it wil be added only with the VDM propeller and it gets a worse turn time and climb rate, that’s really sad.
Modified engine by the Germans for the re.2005 MM.495 - DB 605 AM: like 605 A-1, but with a different compression rate and MW-50 system up to ~1815 HP special emergency power at 0 m at 2,800 rpm for takeoff with MW-50 injection and ~1700 HP at 2,800 rpm at 4,000 m for maximum power with MW-50 injection

Just when I thought the current BP was underwhelming.
So, maybe next BP will have only one vehicle prize?
I mean, zero vehicles would be kind of stingy even by Gaijin standards.

@Nufeneguediz @S_bastienZ88 seems gaijin forgot to either change the db605a for a db605am, add the mw50 boost, or both

There is no chance for Pak Puma though? This is Pak Wagon, a 3.0 vehicle, entirely different thing
The next main reward will be repainted M55 for Israeli tech tree

I already knew about your suggestion. I read it quite some time ago. It’s really well done and I saw all the many sources you used.
I have 9 idea why gaijin passed it just to use none of the sources you used.
Oh shit
If Gaijin wants to be accurate, they should equip the Re.2005 MM.495 VDM with the DB 605 A-1 engine. Additionally, they could include the performance data of the DB 605 AM, since the Germans modified the DB 605 A-1 by adding MW-50 water–methanol injection and changed the compression ratio.

If you think about it, if Gaijin keeps the Re.2005 MM.495 VDM the same — or even worse — than the regular Re.2005 Serie 0, then there’s no reason to grind the battle pass for the Re.2005. It would just be a waste of time.

There are only 4 vehicles in a BP battle trophy, they are listed in the post: T55E1, Toldi IIA, Sd.Kfz.251/22, Ikv 73.
Your bug report is closed. They need book pages and cover attached to the bug report.
Only one of those vehicles is trash too, the other 3 are super good imo
The only one of them I have experience with is the T55E1 but it is essentially a hellcat at a much lower BR and even faster.
I want the T55E1 so badly, the Toldi is also really good and the halftrack with the 75 is a momster the IKV is pretty sad all around. 68pen at 2.7 lol
For real…
Modeling it this way is just against their own interests. I really can’t understand why they did it.
I have already seen many people saying they aren’t interested in buying the battle pass because the plane is quite bad and not different from the tech tree one. Please Gaijin for our and YOUR OWN good, fix the model!

RE 2005 – MM 495
This morning in Guidonia, Col. Tondi carried out a first climb and speed test with the old propeller; tomorrow morning a second test will be conducted with the Macchi propeller fitted with German blades.
On May 5, 1943, while the Experimental Center continued the construction of the “zero” series aircraft (six of which had already made their first flights), a request arrived from the Ministry to install a landing light on the left wing of the RE 2005. In a letter dated June 25, signed by Technical Director Eng. Arnaldo Vischi and Procurator Eng. Giuseppe Bonomi, Reggiane informed the Ministry that on the 21st of the same month they had delivered to Lt. Col. Ercolani the drawings related to the installation, and that they were awaiting instructions to know from which aircraft the mounting should begin.
With a telegram dated August 4, 1943, the Ministry asked Costaereo “to arrange that the first Sagittario complete with the landing light installation be transported to Guidonia for inspection.”
On the second prototype of the aircraft (MM 495), the engine was replaced (as requested on April 12, 1943, by the Air Force General Staff). The aircraft, equipped with a special German engine and propeller, made its first flight on June 10, 1943. This modification had also been urged by the German authorities, who were interested in conducting tests on that aircraft. In the Reggiane flight log, next to that flight, it is noted: “First factory flight after engine replacement.”
In fact, the RE 2005 – MM 495 had made its first flight at the end of October 1942, with a standard engine and propeller, before being sent to Guidonia for tests, where it failed to demonstrate its full potential due to engine troubles. In March 1943, still at Guidonia, the aircraft also carried out tests with a propeller equipped with German blades.
In addition to the 25-minute flight of June 10, the MM 495 took off from Reggio five more times, piloted by De Prato: on June 28 (20 minutes), on July 2 (twice, for engine pressure recovery tests—15 and 20 minutes), and on July 9 and 12, for 20 and 15 minutes respectively.
This example was fitted with an original German DB 605-A1 engine, with a different compression ratio, an MW system for water and alcohol injection, and an original German VDM propeller.
The test results were astonishing, and all the performance figures obtained from the first prototype were improved. During these tests, a German pilot assured us that the airspeed indicator needle had reached 720 km/h in level flight
