Kings of Battle - Rumor Round-Up and Discussion (Part 2)

its fixed but gaijin went silent about that xd

I know that was my point that it needed 9 months xD

PSO VT aka pseudo 2A7 since its technically the prototype of the 2A7 before they decided to keep only part of the stuff it kept like IED protection and other technologies aswell as the hull and the 1500 hp engine, for what i saw in a picture the PSO VT had a different turret tho the picture its low quality and i cant understand the differences due to the low quality

Engine thrust INCREASES as an aircraft gains speed. Fact

@Legwolf I’ll tag you here on this one

150,000lbs heavier, waaaaay slower, lower ceiling, and yes, you’re right about 15,000lbs less in payload.

Apparently some comical amount of flares too.

So it’s going to be trollish no mater where it goes, and the only real benefit it serves is that it’s gonna itch many people’s nostalgia bug. If this is a pure fan-service move to smooth over relations with the UK-playing community, then I guess it makes sense.

I think you’d all be better served by the dev team spending time on fixing all of those missile problems you guys mentioned.

Engine thrust increases as the engine gets to its preferred speed, but decreases as it deviates away from its preferred speed.
Gripen C is Gripen C no matter where it’s from.
Netz is an F-16A Block 10, and guess what? All F-16A Block 10s don’t have AIM-7s.

Actually you will find the BV.238 is bigger than the Vulcan :)

Pso vt is more like a pseudo leopard 2a7+, it gets gen 3 thermals and the add on frontal armor as example

Ah yes. The plane that gets smacked around ALL the time. Fun to watch, but I’d be pissed if someone brought it into the game on my team, it’s gonna be useless.

funny enough it was the prototype of the Leopard 2A7 since they did use some of the technology presented there and only to finish up with the same thing in the end a Leopard 2A7+ lmao

Got the old suggestion for u, i think it even has better thermals then 2a7, since it got the Puma thermals lol Leopard 2 PSO-VT - Germany - War Thunder - Official Forum

That being said gonna go sleep

ridiculus how german military works tbh, they reject the extra armor the sights and a lot of stuff cuz too expensive just to end up modifying the leopard 2A7 to end up having the same stuff as the PSO VT

as far as i know the 2A7 keeps same sights and thermals and 2A7+ does have an FCS upgrade with new sights and ATTICA + 3rd gen thermal the same ones used on the PUMA ifv

Two people accusing General Electric of being wrong… lol

Wow not even saying anything that he lied about me. I wasn’t even talking about that you was saying about engine thrusts ect

Morvran, just cause you admit you attacked me because you were wrong doesn’t mean others were wrong.
I of course attacked no one here.

Also Turbo Union hasn’t released thrust curves.

Yea lmao

I guess that what’s different about me is that when I’m wrong I ether put my hand up or stay quiet for abit

He is now playing victim lol

I’m confused, aren’t intake ramps designed to account for aerodynamic changes as speed/drag changes?

Thrust isn’t static, I’m sure you realize that. So you’re certain of the bug? Even if you have a bug report, I wouldn’t count on them fixing it quickly, lol. Especially since a full fidelity sim of the engines and intakes would take forever. They don’t even have ERA or kinetic penetrators modelled yet.

Exactly my point.
Thrust changes based on the air intake speed, and if it deviates from ideal then thrust decreases.

It really depends on how the game is going to evolve. If EC maps ever get updated strategic bombers would make a lot of sense, as the current objectives are really lacking proper target planes.
Also, I feel like there are a couple real moneymakers in the strategic bomber category, judging by how iconic a lot of them are.
The US, USSR and UK have enough similarly specced strategic bombers to allow for a couple of premiums, I bet a premium FB-111A, Vulcan or Tu-22M would sell like hotcakes with how many people buy high rank premiums only to bomb in them.

Its the degree of thrust drop and when it occurs. Its being figured out as like for like data is tricky to come by. But some aircraft seem more effected than others. For example, at certain speeds the F4-S has more thrust than the FGR2 at the same speed. Which… doesnt overly make sense.

By all accounts the Tornados should be getting more thrust and thus a slightly higher top speed, or at least more consistant acceleration than they are currently.

Its under investigation by people who understand the aerodynamics better htan I can. But the leading theory is some random hold out old code and yeah probably will take an age to get fixed.

(interestingly, it does not affect soviet aircraft, but most other nations do seem to be equally affected, im not going to comment on that further, but it is food for thought)
