I made a bug report today about an inaccurate vehicle however it got shut down because I used normal horsepower instead of metric horsepower (PS)
Has anyone else had this issue before as this means almost every vehicle in the game is missing a little bit of power
The bug report got shut down because you said that it has 280 normal horsepower, and in game it has 285 metric horsepower, 280 horsepower is basically 285 metric horsepower, so there was no bug
Some stats on stat cards in game are subject to some pretty extreme rounding in my experience so the 1.1 extra horsepower is pretty negligible
with vehicles with such low hp its a small amount (for example my car has 135 real horsepower and 135ps) however as we get into bigger engines the differences get quite big.
meaning every single vehicle in game is underpowered as we’ve been reporting in HP and not PS
As the engines total horsepower gets smaller the difference remains just as negligible, the conversion between them is 1:1.014
its still a chunk of horsepower id like in my vehicles. that’s adding 10ps to something like a centurion which is a helpful bump, almost like another filters upgrade for it. it adds up
It doesnt actually add anything though, there is no hidden horsepower, gaijin is already converting units on sources if they arent already in metric horsepower
Even by that argument, most tanks would have a couple more in game than irl
most tanks would yes. would be intresting to find which are missing some power and which are not
It really wouldnt be that interesting, a tank with 1000hp would at most gain or lose 14hp, and when you already have 1000hp it would not make much of a difference
im used to playing vehicles with far less hp than its peers, challenger and chieftain. that smidge extra power would genuinely do a lot of good
But there is no extra hp to gain, the chieftan mk5 for example has 750 standard hp according to wikipedia, in game it has 760 metric horsepower which is 1.014 times higher than 750,
Nobody is hiding secret horsepower from you, your tank have as much as they do irl, its just that gaijin report all horsepower as metric horsepower so when they accept reports which are in standard horsepower they have to multiply the numbers given by 1.014
there is a few horsepower missing from vehicles I’ve done a lot of research on. guess ill have to do some really nitpicky reports. the bug reporting managers are petty so I’m happy to also be petty
Please give me one example of something missing hp with a source, I would love if gaijin had more work
