i’ve been grinding one of the battlepass challanges lately and i’ve been using the ITP. whils’t playing it in air rb i’ve noticed it overheats at 89 degrees celcius and when you WEP it overheats almost instantly. it almost feels as if the engine is modeled wrong. i tried to look up real documentation about the engine and only found that the M-107P only had reliability issues and not directly overheating issues.
is there anyone else that’s kind of annoyed at how easily it overheats?
The ITP in game doesn’t have the VK-107P, it has the AM-37 which was even more unreliable.
So unreliable, in fact, that neither the ITP M-1 nor M-2 flew with it.
Lolz i just realized Gaijin is so wrong about the ITP. the (M-1) is supposed to have the M-107P and later the M-107A, whereas the ITP (M-2) should have the AM-37 and later the AM-39
Typical Gaijin ignorance lmaooo
And you’re right about the (M-1) never flying, but thr ITP (M-2) had it’s first test flight on the 23rd of November 1943 but airframe testing wasn’t finished untill June 1944.
Yes the ITP (M-2) did fly, in November 1943 as you state. However the engine replacement from AM-37 to AM-39 happened all the way back in December 1942. It never flew with the AM-37.
I’m not saying that the aircraft didn’t fly, just that it never flew with the AM-37. Which makes Gaijin’s implementation of the ITP even more ridiculous. the M-1 didn’t have this engine in the first place, and the M-2, while it was meant to have the AM-37, got it replaced before the first flight happened.
