evidence of 22.5% channel loss or adjustments to its flight performance to make it more realistic
Evidence of 22.5% channel loss is that it’s how it is modelled in-game. Going back to MiG-29 - people brought german manuals with installed thrust curves and gaijin simply ignored it, so this is best you can get. Mald, cope, seethe, do whatever you want - but gaijin never gonna give you any evidences, simple fact. And i’m sorry, but i never gonna take “make it more realistic” seriously, in a game where crew of 2 severely injured tankers would replace a canon breech in 40 seconds on the battlefield, or pilots casually surviving prolonged 13Gs.
its was just fine without a nonsensical buff

This buf is not “nonsensical”, It was done according to the bug report. And it wasn’t “just fine”, anything at that br apart from F-18C would be able to nuke poor thing. If people focus you, you have only one choice - die by bleeding all your speed trying to defend Fox-3s. And if enemy is not completely braindead - you will be also outranged because of giant speed difference between you two so you can’t even fight back.
Ngl, never really understood this thought process. We have the BR system to balance vehicles. (more so whenever we eventually get decompression) Along with holding back armament (Even though the a10/su25 with all aspects can still face flareless aircraft)
Like, if it actually had the thrust irl Then it shouldn’t matter if its a buff or nerf. it should stay as true as it can.
But if its an artifically buff specifically so it could keep up with others, Then that really is bias sense other planes don’t get the same treatment.
But anyhow, The 22.5% thrust loss. Is there an actual reason why its so high? Are there other planes with the similar intakes that have that much loss?
If its just an oversight from the devs, A bug report should fix it to be on par with other aircraft.
If this is how it is irl. Then it could reasonably be explained why or reported on an official document?

nothing has changed on that regard, the entire team wants you dead youre dead, but in 1v1s against anything other than rafale you have a pretty huge advantage, you can shoot from a notch more effectively and you have more missiles, the engine buff is using figures from the time limited emergency mode, id be okay if they actually implemented the emergency mode but how they did it is lazy and inaccurate.
Basically the LDIRCM situation but with thrust huh?
And anothere one. Ok, let’s be a broken record. This is not an emergency mode. And it’s not time limited technically, it is time limited by manual to prevent additional wear and degradation of the engine. Gaijin doesn’t model things like this. AlvisWisla above already posted that F-15A has similar treatment to its engines.

what is it then? also that point about the time limit not being a literal shut off point is pretty dumb.
true, which is why i think the same for the f15a, it should either be given a 5 minute time limit, or be given the 15c engines(which whilst it happened i dont like this solution).
Why does the F-16I burn through as much fuel as the F-15E?
Bring it to gaijin, not me. It is their way to model this game.
Overspooling of the engine. Not made for emergencies, made to reach top speed and required altitude for a mission faster.
additional work for zero benefits, gee i wonder why game company not gonna do that
yeah if by benefit you mean making them more money then you figured out out gaijin works, it simple makes the game more interesting.
In what way time limited mode that only adds another thing to be worried about without any benefits as a trade-off gonna make game more interesting?
i would like it cause it would add a bit more choice to energy management, but youre free to disagree. i can definetly see how it would age badly considering how brs work, considering f15a as an example was extremely strong when it was top tier, but today i wouldnt say its even top 5 13.0s.
good point on the German aircraft there
it surely would be a better choice to give the F-104 9B ans 9F only and 9L to the F4F
You’re the one whinning lol, just wanted to correct your stupid take on the F-4F’s 9J
it has AiM-9F, but they go with the german name AIM-9B FGW.2 in the game
also the F4Fs relatively quickly started using AIM-9Ls in german service
the TT variant has undergone an upgrade programme which allows the use of Mavericks and enables CCIP, and those Phantoms flew almost always with 9L only
I personally would love to see a rebalance of german Air by Removing 9E/J from F-104/F4F (Early) and reducing their BR to he appropriate to their weaponry
and I believe it would actually not be bad at all to give the TT F4F AiM-9L to Increase it’s BR

That’s not even remotely correct, most information you find will show the engines performance at maximum efficiency, which is when subject to a large airflow.
no, if you look at thrust curves for nearly every engine youll see the thrust at speed is higher than the public figures, ie static thrust

So is this for balance or is this historically accurate?
