Some people in Mig-25s are catching up to me very quickly and when I check the replays they all speed up until 1800kmh then it doesn’t go above or below that for the rest of the match and the war thunder FAQ says that cheaters can’t alter the speed of of their own vehicle because that stuff is server side. So would that mean this is a bug?
also bug report asking same question:

Jokes apart first I’ll consider as a replay bug for not informing exactly the speed, may be a technical limit or something else since the IAS still working. At 10.0km the air is expected to be very thin and is where the MiG-25PD engines can work freely without heavy air down below slowing it down. Stopping the nerdy stuff, I would also recommend you look for other replays in the same vehicle (MiG-25PD if this issue persist or is a solo case).
are you spaded? and are you doing a “combat climb” (where you gain a large amount of speed at low alt before pulling up)?
Basically Spaded. What I do usually is climb 10-20 degrees up to 9-10k meters and level out until I get a shot off but in most of these cases I was fired on first so I slowly turned 90 degrees and when I see their contrails coming towards me I turn away fully and the thing is when I am going straight away I am not gaining speed nearly as fast as they are. The first time I saw this the guy was flying and suddenly his plane would skip forward/teleport forward and his contrails were like a broken line which I thought was very wierd but when I checked his pov in the replay it looked fine so could have been gaijins servers. But I don’t know how they get so fast so quickly. Also I checked in the replay for some reason it does cap out at 1800kmh but how did they not go below that once while turning, diving ect unless the replay just doesn’t update the speed after that
