on the other hand you have to admit that the presentation video of the battlepass is misleading, when it was said that it is EVEN superior to the standard Reggiane

for performance*
That’s all fine and good, but none of that explains or justifies why the battlepass announcement and video both lie stating that the plane performs better.

I well know the reply from dev or moderator
the bug report was filled by me.
We are working on it….
Without meaning to sound critical, I’ve always wondered how the Horten manages to fly, considering it only ever flew as a glider.
And then there are those little Japanese designs — if they ever got off the ground, it was probably because someone folded the blueprints into a paper airplane during a slow afternoon.
Now the american event UFO…
They fly based on the performance figures declared on paper, and whatever other considerations you’ve made — you just need to do the same thing for the 2005, assuming 1,800 horsepower.
Since you’re an expert on aircraft — especially British ones — I’m sure you know well how those tests were carried out. After reaching a certain altitude, they would dive, level out the aircraft, and make a high-speed pass along a measured course on the ground where the speed was recorded… all of it, of course, producing some rather interesting results. So in the end, we’re really talking about data that were, at best, somewhat “eccentric”
besides it’s still unclear why it was advertised as an improvement over the standard Re.2005

Hi. First of all thanks for taking the time to answer and read the sources.
The bug report was also aimed at changing the engine from DB601A to DB605AM or DB605A with MW-50 system. Why was this refused?
On a side note I have a technical report made by Daimler Benz that makes it clear that the differences between DB605A and DB605AM are a different compression rate and the MW-50 system. If I make a bug report using the same sources plus this technical report could it be accepted?

Hey
The report combined multiple aspects, which is something we always advise against doing for this very reason. Each issue should focus on one individual matter at a time, not combine multiple. The sources included were insufficient to provide any changes in performance. If the engine is incorrect, then a report can be made solely focusing on that aspect and with as many sources as possible (not using just these same ones) to show this.
It will need to include some sources relevant to the Re.2005. Since engine performance outside of an airframe can differ.

Thanks for the advices on bug reporting. I am working on a bug report focused solely on the engine.
How can engine performance change based on the airframe?
I mean if the engine is of a certain model and the propeller and spinner are the same then the performance is the same. It could overheat faster or slower, but the raw hp output would be the same.
In our specific case we have a DB605AM with VDM propeller wich is the exact same configuration as all the german fighters with that engine. Surely the aircraft will fly differently, but since the flight model for the VDM is already in the game couldn’t it just receive the proper engine and its 1800hp?

There are many factors to consider that can impact the performance of said engine inside a different airframe. Fuel, boost settings, different configurations of many aspects too.
Sources common to the engine are welcome, but again, Re.2005 spesific sources are needed for clarity.

Understood thanks again for the tips. I hope we’ll find some stuff in the Reggiane archives when they’ll reopen in January :,) .
Just one last question, could someone tell us what sources the devs used to model the Re.2005 VDM as it is in the game now?

at least it would help to limit the sources to consult
For now, I can confirm that after going through more than 10 books, manuals, and other materials, we haven’t found anything that meets these requests.
The first volunteer should soon be going to the Historical Office of the Italian Air Force.
The archives of the Reggiane Foundation are currently being renovated and will reopen in January — we’ve already made arrangements, and we’ll look through the notes of Eng. Longhi, the designer of the model.

Regarding justification of the current implementation & handling of bug reports: I have heard way more entertaining and often much more convincing stories by guys trying to explain their browser history to their wives…
Honey, idrk why the stats was changes, i set better before the presentation i swear

“give them time man its hard to find anything on 1 prototype specially ww2 era”
cough cough, unless you’re a gaijin who can create an ad hoc airplane like the pancake in the latest update with an incomplete technical drawing and hearsay reports

aye man you know what the snail is even about :)
are you sure to want a reply about?
What data does Gaijin even have to say that the current performance is the right performance?
These guys are searching high and low for any data, but do the devs even have anything?

All knowing Wikipedia reads:
" A request by the German Ministry of Aviation led to one Re.2005 (MM.495), known as the Reggiane Re.2005 “LW”, to be modified to German standards for tests in late July 1943. It was evaluated first in Guidonia and later at the Rechlin airfield. Tests revealed improved performances with speeds of up to 628 km/h (390 mph) with the FIAT engine and more than 650 km/h (400 mph) with the DB engine in level flight, without using war emergency power."
Just thinking that 628 km/h happens to be the same speed we currently have in game…
