has this been bug reported?
Pretty sure MIG 23M did a while back.
Wouldn’t suprise me if gaijin wont change it considering they would then be more inclined to drop the in BR otherwise no one would play them. Especially given one nations only decent vehicle is a mid hornet and especially the premium hornets. It’d be in there best interest to ignore it like they do most of the time.

The manufacturer claimed uninstalled thrust figure isn’t calculated from bench testing, actual installed thrust is higher than the public thrust data. QNEP (program used by Navy to calculate installed thrust) shows the correct installed thrust data for the aircraft.

Looks like the MiG-19 is still doing that.

Im talking about the player named MIG 23M, should have clarified
Still doing what?
Sorry, I misunderstood you.
Since it overall performs as should - does it even worth touching?
General lee made one about 5 months ago, it had been accepted but never implemented

To be honest? Yea, but it’s also not as game breaking as other overperforming planes
it does perform as it should overall.
they would need to reduce drag too, if thrust gets nerfed
Why would they do that
since plane would be straight up underperforming?
i am.
decreasing thrust → underperforming for data we know.
but if decreasing thrust and drag → might match data
The thrust matches installed thrust chart. There is nothing to change.
so, public data for ge404 just lowballed?

That’s correct, GE always called it a “16,000 lbs” thrust “class” they never intended to state that the maximum uninstalled thrust was 16,000 pounds although this has been erroneously asserted depending on the media you’re looking at.
The Navy’s official installed thrust calculation says approximately 16,050 pounds of thrust or something like that… actually I think it was a bit higher. Either way, the thrust is correct and the acceleration in the game is actually very slightly underperforming in subsonic and transonic conditions but falls within Gaijin’s margin of error.
Here is the data;
QNEP is the Quick Navy Engine Program, their official program for calculation of installed thrust data.
