Default RE: HL Tank Scale Speeds, Calculated


ORIGINAL: philipat

As I recall, the Panther, Tiger, Panzer III/IV all ran within a couple of mph of each other...right around 25 mph. But, that was top speed on the road and generally wasn't sustained because of the wear and tear on the tanks.
Yeah, that's true.My test was to determine top speed, like road speed, as with the originals, I don't generally run mine full speed on grass so with a reasonably close top road (basement floor) speed and reduced speed outdoors, I think the stock Stug and Panther/Jagdpanthers are pretty close, which surprised me.My Tiger with the stock running gear but with 3:1's surprised me with just how well it drove and handled outdoors.
