Am I mistaken, or do planes really lose max speed the more you upgrade them… my bf109 G6 went from 654km/h to 681km/h after I removed all of its upgrades.
I did this because I wanted to upgrade my g10 which appeared to have a max speed of 726km/h, but as soon as I upgraded it once to 4 stars, it went down to 696km/h
And all of this because I thought the fw190 is a completely worthless piece of garbage, having barely a better turn timethan the bf110 by some 2% margin, but my fw190 is fully upgraded to 6 stars, so I’m beginning to think… do these upgrades genuinely add armor onto the planes, or am I somehow mistaken…
I can’t imagine what else these upgrades must be adding to reduce the speed so drastically. A total loss of 20km/h top speed would be acceptable, but that’s usually for putting bombs on the plane, not for any other kind of upgrades. Any loss over 20km/h completely outweighs any advantages the upgrades may give.
I see that only one of the upgrades mention +5% to empty mass, but that shouldn’t decrease flight performance so badly, and it definitely doesn’t say it applies to every single upgrade, so I’m confused as to what’s going on here and why my planes are losing speed and flight performance the more I upgrade them.
