Type 10 Acceleration

The Type 10 currently accelerates way too slowly compared to what I’ve seen in some videos. Are there any plans to fix this or is this something we’ll never see in-game? I feel like it would benefit the Type 10 greatly as it currently gets outclassed by other 11.7 MBTs. I think making the Type 10 more agile could be really good for the overall viability of the Tank. (Not that it is especially bad by any means)

Here: (32) JGSDF Type 10 Vs Type 90. - YouTube

And Here: As you can see here, Type 10 has SIGNIFICANTLY better acceleration and mobility than Type 90, thanks to its advanced CVT transmission. However, in War Thunder, it’s slower just because of the lower raw HP/T ratio. Since Gaijin won’t model different transmissions, I would like to suggest…(comments) : r/Warthunder (reddit.com)

I know it because of the Transmission of the Tank and that it’s not modeled correctly, I just didn’t wanted to focus on the gameplay implications of such a change

Those videos are filmed from a fixed point, where the perception of acceleration will be dramatically affected compared to the “floating camera” that follows the tank in game.

There’s nothing wrong in asking for them to be fixed, but those videos prove nothing you’re saying.

My point was mainly to say that it would benefit the Type 10 gameplay-wise if it had better acceleration.

Sure sure, but I doubt anything can be done with “I’ve seen in some videos” as argument.

We have actual test charts showing that the Type 10 should be faster than the Type 90 in basically every scenario. The HMT of the Type 10 provides an efficiency where despite having 300 less hp, the sprocket output of both the The Type 90 and Type 10 are equivalent .

If you compare it to the Type 90 it’s the same. The Type 10 is way fast than the Type 90, They should not be the same.

Nothing bad, it’s just about the type 10
Have a beautiful day

Thank you all for the support

Literally every tank in game has this issue. Except for WWII and some early Cold War.

11

So question

If that’s the case how do drag strips work?

12

Literally don’t talk about acceleration until you’ve played the Scimitar. The actual fastest tank in the world gets out accelerated by the ZSU 23.

Sorry for the late reply.
No, not all MBTs suffer from this problem since in war thunder and real life the only MBT that uses CVT transmission is the Type 10, all other MBTs use Automatic, they are not the same, CVT delivers power consistently without dropping RPMs, unlike an automatic, this is why, even having less power, since the power band is constantly at max hp and torque output, it will accelerate faster than any other MBT in the world, even without video evidence or real life test, since this is simple mechanics, and not imagination, the only way another MBT would have better acceleration is if it had massively increased HP compared to the Type 10, id say 2000hp or such, and a longer ratio on the first gears, but this is either impossible of very expensive, since when you are messing with a big number like that, something will give sooner or later, and that’s not very good for reliability as you would imagine.

Theres also a current bug with the movement inertia with the type 10, but also issues with the handling

ig the type 10 is just a top tier wiesel according to gaijin

I know what a CVT is, it’s a gearbox with infinite ratios and no individual gears. Nissan makes really bad ones.

I was just making an overarching statement about gears in tanks bleeding too much speed.
