British Weapon Systems - Technical data and discussion

Though I enjoy watching videos of those who can, cause the results are always very impressive.

Looking at you 1/48 F-35

I think you’ll find there is alot of British technology in that F-35, and the carrier its sat on the missiles on its wings… all British.

The comment was made in jest…

I love the F-35B, especially with the RAF colours.

I got to see one during it’s VTOL demo at Cosford.

Has anyone who’s driven the Challenger 2 after this update noticed that reverse acceleration feels noticeably slower than before (not comparing it to the bugged state), plus there’s a distinct jitter/stuttering sensation both when moving forward and reversing?

Better off asking in the CR2 thread Challenger 2 MBT - Technical data and Discussion (Part 2)

when was the last time you played the challies?

in march of this year the Challenger 2 had its gear ratios altered, increasing its reverse speed but making the top end acceleration in reverse worse, but better at low end

the jerkiness could also just be the close spacing of the gears at low speed (in part due to torque converter modelling for gears 1 and 2 (and both reverse gears), and a poor crew training making it change too slowly

(MFW “Automatic” gearboxes are modelled as manuals)

But they are manual. Just have a lil guy in them instead of the crew doing the work.

(This is joke)

That FM going Supersonic?

I’m sure with effort a vaguely harrier shaped thingo could go supersonic.

I bet this thing cannot turn reliably.

As a fan of both mig 25 and 31, turning is for cowards.

I turned into one, after 1000 games of Phantom FGR.2

Either way, you gonna hear ''lego sound when this thing turns in mach.

only part of the airframe, full engine, parts of the cockpit and wings were made before it was panned

Is very sad that it was cancelled. It looks proper.

would have had redtop or firestreak missiles with the RN version having 4
