Thank you both. Fingers crossed it’s implemented, would make a huge difference in game.

Ever day I pray for my CVT suggestion to get added into WT
:D

This, CVT and regenerative steering might make the CH2 less ass to drive

I think the only tank that would benefit from a CVT (HMT) change would be the type 10. But any changes to increase mobility are welcome changes.
I would support better torque implementation as right now a lot of US tanks that use the 810HP gasoline engine are better than the ones using the 750HP diesel engine designed to replace it.

In the current version of Warthunder, power losses caused by friction and fluid resistance are not taken into account at all, although this is intentional. As a result, the catalog spec value of the engine output is transmitted directly to the drive wheels.
This causes problems when modeling torque converters and CVTs. Although these devices are convenient, their biggest drawback is that they cause large power losses. If these devices are implemented in the game without reproducing the power losses, the performance will be far removed from reality.
The power losses are broadly irrelevant, what’s useful is the torque multiplication effect, since the converter is locked up when not in use, its loss is broadly 0%.
It is true that lockup mechanisms reduce power loss, but they are a relatively new idea and are not typically found in torque converters used in WWII vehicles.
Kinda why torque converters aren’t as present on older vehicles.
