legitscoper Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) Hello, I always was flying for several years at 100% RPM, and never wondering why the range is so low. I've spent many hours doing tests, and came to conclusion, that if taking typical SEAD loadout, it is the best to keep RPM at 93% when going at altitude 2000m. Interesting thing is, that going slower than like 90% is also making flying less efficient. Here is the excel file I made, maybe someone will find it useful.

Jascha Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I use 100% RPM only during takeoff and combat. For cruise - usually 90%, but I turn it up a notch, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
