Hello. The developers have reviewed the report in full. The engine was modified. A water injection system was added and boost was increased in emergency mode. However, this resulted in a slight increase in speed, which is to be expected. The top speed has increased to 652 km/h. The current weight aircraft is 3,600 kg, which requires no changes. The only source to mention speeds specifically for the 495 prototype was referring to indicated air speed. So sadly this was not an accurate measure. The remaining materials presented are not related to the characteristics of the 495 aircraft prototype. The above listed changes will be released in the next major update.
While the bug report does contain information on the MM.494, it is ONLY because the performance of the in-game Re.2005 VDM is based on what the MM.494 achieved.
Even now, the new 652 km/h speed is based on the 629 km/h top speed of the MM.494 but with the additional horsepower of water injection.
In short, that last bit of the response is insanely hypocritical, because Gaijin is actively using information on MM.494 to model the vehicle EVEN NOW with the boosted engine and VDM prop which the MM.494 never had.
More information spesific to the 495 is always welcome, however this is the best possible outcome with the current provided information. All viable information is currently being used to make these improvements.
Part of the bug report used sources related to the MM.494 to show that:
The performance of the Re.2005 VDM is based on what the MM.494 prototype achieved.
The MM.494’s DB-605 engine had issues and could not run at full power.
My problem is mostly that this is being ignored under the pretense of “it’s unrelated to the MM.495” when, as far as anyone knows, the current performance itself is unrelated to the MM.495.
If I understood it correctly they don’t adapt the 720kmh speed neither the 678kmh speed mentioned in the sources.
What the Devs are changing on the Re.2005 MM.495 VDM is the engine, its new engine wil be the suggested DB605A-1 with MW-50 system C3 feul, different compression ratio etc etc and that means alot
It should be a much more powerful engine wise for the Re.2005 mm.495 VDM
DB605A-1 standard power with the upgraded MW-system to put it at the same level of the AM version
The Re.2005 serie 0 could go down to 5.7 (even to 5.3, but let’s be real: this will never happen).
The VDM, depending on the extent on the buffs, could really just stay at 6.0
it could be a mid fighter at 6.0 yes, the series 1 should be 5.0 it literally has the performance of a 4.7 spitfire while having worse guns. I just hope it doesn’t suffer from the Italian tax and end up at 6.7…
