unlike Rooikat that has well divided gear ratio
ratel gear ratio is like
gear 1-6 for 1-25 Km/h
AND gear 7 for FREAKING 25-65 Km/h!!
and GEAR 8 for >65 km/h
unless you get downhill or flat terrain you pretty much stuck at around gear 7th @ 30 km/h
because gear 7 torque is too low too accelerate it
making it so irritating to use
NO this is not about HP/ton or engine power, it doesnt matter
Just use the auto drive when u can do like 2/3 so the gear wont go on gear 7 right away and after u reach to the max speed of the 2/3 u go full speed
Ratel has some of the worst gear spacing I have ever seen. I’ve tried submitting Ratel’s real gears to Gaijin (see Ratel series gears incorrect) but of course as this extremely specific information is only in one book, written by the Ratel’s design team it is naturally disregarded as a single secondary source.
