well, in wt for example F-15 has 20+% loss, which would be even more than 5000 pounds(for PW-220 engine).
coincidentally im currently looking into those engines as it seems like gaijin added some massive Channel loss there too
Just for a perfect example jet so you can understand what realistic channel loss should look like.
The tornado has 7090kgf thrust ingame and the engine alone irl has 7440kgf.
So you can see, those channel loss values of 1000-2000kgf are completly stupid and not based on real info.
Idk why I am even explaining it, the handbook says black on white that 7800kgf is with channel loss
Is this handbook classified? Or you can share it? I would like to check the info, especially if it’s in Russian.
yes its unclassified, there you go

(its too big for the forum upload, so you gotta get it externally)
haha i initially thought so, but alas its arcade - dint realise till later. Got all excited for a split second tho lol
Only other one that comes to mind is su33 which i believe runs at its emergency thrust permanently in wt
Thank you, would check it out in free time. I am all for Fulcrum buffs, but they should be realistic and with a proof to them.
If you mean the special afterburner, it doesn’t.
It automatically disengages once you hit a certain speed (around 300 to 400kph)
oh cool, didnt know they implemented that
Very curious table. I did some brief looks and it seems that indeed this table shows thrust of a single engine and with intake losses taken into consideration. I find very interesting the fact that this engine gives out close to 10k kgf at supersonic speed closer to the deck. Did anyone used this table in a bug report? Or gaijin did usual “not enough data”?
Gaijin just ignores bug reports based on this.
Like I already said, this stuff is so obvious and simple to fix that I dont think this is unintentional.
My bet is that they intentionally nerfed the 29s so that they can buff them (or better said - make em realistic) when a premium or new top tier fulcrum drops.
This would make them the most cash and is therefor the most likely scenario
They already bonked Sniper with a nerf, removing new radard with basic MiG-29 one
But the fact that recently a MIG-29 Sustained turnrate report got accepted tells me that they`ll probably change the FM soon
either this or next update
copium mode engaged then, would be good to get a competitive Fulcrum
Im 70% shure we`ll get a MiG-29 premium for russia soon.
MiG-29M 9.15 would be good candidate
I know the 29Sniper
and my bet is we will get a 29 buff soon because of the reason stated before.
doesnt mean we need to get it this update

Honestly I just hope it gets it back or gets better weapons, even more better if they’re western weapons (as it uses the same computing system found on the LanceR)
