No, it sayes, it assures / makes shure that if the oilpressure drops, that the RPM directly drops and stayes at 1800 RPM so that you can at least drive back to the workshop.
Its Sichergehen the action of Sicherung. That word in this case has nothing to do with a fuse.
Thanks, the translator I used for some reason included the word fuse in that sentence which is why I put it in brackets because it didn’t really make sense to me.
wow thanx for info you are right both the hl210 and hl230 always had centrifugal governors from the start the march 1943 tiger manual confirms this the difference is that in 1943 the governors still allowed engines to reach 3000 rpm but this stressed the engines and led to failures by late 1943 the usable band was tightened to around 2500 to 2600 rpm which cut effective power this is where the confusion comes from so early tigers and panthers were not ungoverned but they did run with looser governor settings while the 1944 machines including the tiger ii were locked to the reduced setting
so i really want to see the PANTHER A and other run at 700hp and add separately?
Presumably someone has already mentioned it but here goes;
The correct top speeds for Tiger 2 with engines running at 2500 or 3000 rpm is as follows;
2500 rpm = 34.6 km/h
3000 rpm = 41.5 km/h
Both HL230 and Sla.16 Tiger 2s currently have too high a top speed, meaning the engines gain rpm too slowly and all of their gearing is stretched to cover too wide a range. To regain low and mid-speed mobility, they need to have their top speeds compressed down to a realistic level.
And it will gain some good penetration of 284mm/10m. And maybe the Filler type is wrong, as it retains the old PH-Salz, isntead of Np.10. But more info is needed for such.
The terrible speed is what makes them killable. A speedy tiger 2 would be a.) unrealistic, and b.) unfair. Tigers could theoretically have a higher max speed, some could go above 40km/h. However, their speed was capped as extensive use at high speeds could cause the engine to erupt into flames. Remember, the german engines at the time were not built to handle massive weights. I think gaijin has it perfectly fine as it is right now
