![]() ![]() Here it becomes useful for managing a damaged engine or destroyed engine, possibly allowing the plane to limp back to the base where it otherwise couldn't. Engine selection is rarely used on single-engine aircraft, as the main engine is always selected, but can find use on aircraft with multiple engines, such as the B-17 and Mosquito. This allows for the selected engine to be controlled using all other MEC inputs, ignoring them for other engines. Shutting an engine down will also rapidly cool it down, but this is inadvisable except when it is certain no enemies are around.Įngine selection is used to select one specific engine at a time or all engines at once. For instance, if your aircraft is set ablaze, turning off the burning engine will cut the fuel from pumping into the burning engine, potentially extinguishing the fire. ![]() Sometimes it is important to shut down an engine mid-flight. ![]() The throttle controls are separate from the ignition an engine that is off won't work, even if the throttle is at 100%, whilst an engine that is turned on but at idle throttle will spin its propeller (albeit very slowly, outputting very little power). To start or turn off an engine, the default key is "I" and is available on all aircraft, independent of MEC settings. Once bound, MEC can be used with any control scheme by pressing the bound button.Ĭontrollable Elements Ignition and engine selectionĪn engine won't function without being turned on, of course. This can be found in Full-Real Controls under the Aircraft category. First however, a key must be set to toggle these engine controls to "manual" mode. These take a bit to learn, being left by default to the game to handle automatically, but are worth learning to gain an advantage. Used properly, these allow for greater speed, fuel efficiency, engine cooling and management of a damaged engine. "Manual Engine Controls" (often abbreviated as MEC) are the ability for a player to manually control multiple components of an engine. ![]() 1 The Purpose of Manual Engine Controls.The Mk 22 is pretty awful for 6.3 and the Mk XVI is catasrophically bad at 5.0. 120rpg for 2 sparkle cannons doesn't get you very far, especially with bombers like Me 264 being around the place now. Quad hispano armaments, despite being pretty unreliable, are better than the mixed armaments a lot of spitfires get. You just have to put up with it i'm afraid if you want to play tier 3 and tier 4 props in Britain. But since about after a month after that the SAPI round has been busted ever since and just deflects off a target when it hits (hence the sparks you see). There was a brief time of bliss when air target ammo was first added back in like 2014. "Hisparkles" are the same as they've always been for years. It can get to 6000m very quickly but once it is there, it will be out performed by most things it faces, 190Ds and 109Ks especially. The LF MK.IX is probably the best example. Mainly due to being "spacefires" as they have great time to altitude, which got axis and soviet pilot's goats as the Spitfire also happens to turn fairly well. ĭo you see the winning rate of Spitfire F MkIX & MkXVI ? Is this what you called "balance" ?Ī YouTuber Adam514 made a video for Spitfire Mk22 weeks ago and the "Hitpano" sucks unless killing the pilots.Īll the spitfires got uptiered around the time all the 109s, 190s, 152s, etc got downtiered to around 5.3-5.7 (Despite some like the D-13 being more than capable enough to compete at BR's 6.0). The MG151/20 can kill my Spitfire Mk22 within 5 rounds most times while I can do that in my dream. To be frank, the spark is beautiful but we players feel upset and annoying. What about nowadays ? Just hit, hit, hit and hit. Before 1.71 we can kill a fighter within 30 rounds and about 60 for a bomber like B29. We call them "Hitpano" for their "amazing" performance. No matter Merlins or Griffons are great engines but they don't perform decent for "balance". Repair cost is not a way to make a balance.) Someone says that Spitfires have high repair cost while nobody cares about that because we have Spitfires and they are reliable and powerful ! (PS: G56&Ta152 have higher repair cost but they are not abandoned. Spitfires are so popular in WT for years but they has been destroyed again and again. ![]()
