Speed of Choppers

[wilzchau]

Hi there,

I think the speed indicators of this game are sorta unrealistic and ridiculous. Why? When I was flying the Apache through the Kashan Desert, the cruise speed had exceeded 400km/h, which is not possible in real life (maximum V-speed of Apache is only 365km/h).

Another case is: the LYNX. The LYNX is known as the fastest chopper in game. However, the chopper can easily exceed 500km/h when it is cruising...(In real life, the maximum speed of this chopper is only 324km/h).

These two cases have already explained the situations and problems. I hope the developers can fix the issue soon...coz it makes the game look unrealistic.

Thank you.

Basicly, this seems to be something related to vBF2. I'm not sure since i am not so informed about the BF2 Engine.

speed reported ingame != RL counterpart

Try using the search function before you post threads with veeeeerry old topics like this.

Basicly it's the silly BF2 engine being silly and hardcoded.

You gotta divide the speed by 2.

[killonsight95]

it's because heli's in PR have two engines which makes BF2 read the speed as twice the actual speed.

[J.F.Leusch69]

the speed displayed on the HUD does not reflect the RL specs of any vehicle.

I've reached over 1100 KM/H in the Lynx lol

I like it so fast!
Speed = GOOD xD

I have reached 1500 once with a huey in a dive, from top Altitude
But then you can't get him out of his dive.

as of 2001 all choppers IRL have received warp engines, we couldn't simulate faster-than-the-speed-of-light travel, so we decided to make them just super faster than IRL

I kid mate, as others have said, the HUD is wrong since it wasn't set up to understand PR

just use it as an indicator of your speed, rather than absolute speed.

I think the tr.exe should be able to measure the real speed. It can already measure the distance, maybe with a few modifications it can display speed as well.

You gotta divide the speed by 2.

But never, NEVER EVER divide by 0!!!!1
