Ground Speed

[+RAVEN 414]

Are ground speeds in Meters per seconds? If they are I have Tanks doing 137mph!!

m/s, yep.

whole game was changed to use metrical system for all values, sometime in 2006/07 or so.

all ground objects made before the change still use knots for the speed value, thats why you have very speedy tanks

Yes. 1 m/ps = about 2 knots, 1 knot = 1.15 mph

corrected m/s to kts conversion factor

For fast calculation use following simple formula

 

4 * Meters/second - 10% = kph

 

example

 

10 meters/sec * 4 = 40 - 4 = 36 kph

or, extract the data ini for a similiar size/weight AFV and copy/paste the engine & movement sections.

 

that's what we did way back when, after the 06 patch "fixed" vehicle/ship speeds
