  1. It is true that the actual thrust of an engine in an airplane can be reduced by aerodynamic losses, such as friction within the intake ducts and the physical constraints of the fuselage design. However, the standard should be applied consistently across all aircraft in the game.
    Comparison to other aircraft such as

  2. The F-16 engine in War Thunder (General Electric F110-GE-100) is reportedly almost at its maximum nominal thrust with hardly any apparent losses. This creates an inconsistency if the MiG-
    29 SMT is penalized with a much higher percentage of losses not applied to other aircraft, they only apply it to the mig 29 when we have things like the F15 Strike Eagle with almost all of its real thrust.

F15 also has channel loss, just smaller. The stat card isn’t completely true, I know as a fact that it can do more (RD33). I tried with RD-93 and it does near 11t actually, instead of less than 7. There is this thing which can show u the thrust during flight, can’t remember the name of it.

For me, they were based on a NATO test of the Mig 29 that carried “THE 3 FUEL TANKS” AND they compared the AoA with the “Maxima” load.

Which F-16 has GE-100s?

The F-15E is missing 20% thrust for channel loss. the 29SMT is around 19%.
