If the projectile was moving the speed of light and relativity is taken into account it had infinite energy and zero thickness. If this is ignored like it is in WT then the kinetic energy of the round is (1/2)mv^2 where m=mass and v=velocity so it's kinetic energy is (1/2)(.001kg)(299,792,458 m/s)^2 or 44937.8 gigajoules. This would be the same energy as a Maus traveling at ~22km/s or about 2/3 of the energy of Little Boy, if I got the math right lol.
The fact the screenshots takes so much info for WT may be a tool for Gajin to better understand some bugs/technical problems. Support does not have to ask mundane questions and can get them from screenshot which is usually attached.
Yes. This will get to person that selects the trivial priority issues, or "not a defect" from the actual bugs that should be fixed the faster the better. (for this person such info could be more helpful than for the R&D team tester) This happens even before the QA engineer takes it to work and tries to reproduce the issue. Im guessing Gajin has some variation of such bug reporting path.
The speed of sound is not consistent, though I do enjoy having it on. An example would be a plane diving into the ground from a distance. The sound of the plane stops instantly but it takes time for the explosion sound to travel.
that's because the sound source of the engine sound is stopped. This probably stops it immediately and no engine-side consideration was given to the fact that it might have to reach further away players, so it should be continued. This is difficult, as you have to time it just right when you stop the sound, otherwise the engine would keep on playing after the explosion. It's not impossible, but it's a bit of spaghetti and takes time to get right. Evidently, Gajin devs are not really interested in detail, so this wasnt given thought
@@TheWorldEnd2 well, projectiles don't dissapear even after the vehicle that fired them got destroyed. I don't know how sound is modelled, but if it's just delaying the sound based on the distance then the doppler effect doesn't work either. It should definitely work in air battles.
@@skipperhun7580 it is delaying the sound based on the distance and no, dopler effect is not done like it works in real world, it is simply done by modulating. The issue with explosion sounds is that when the vehicle gets destroyed, its sound source gets destroyed too. then a new sound source is created and due to the delaying logic, that sound is now delayed. This creates a small gap where no sound is heard
That and having massive particles travelling at the speed of light does really break physics, but I doubt gaijin have coded for relativistic effects lol

One fun fact for Air Realistic: If you land your plane without sustaining any damage at all then you can J out into the loadout menu, from there you can respawn back fully armed and refuelled. This can cutdown times you spend on the ground from 40-20 seconds to less than 4 seconds total. However do keep in mind that this only works if your plane is undamaged, even the slightest damage will make you bail out instead of going to the loadout menu.
Actually its all based off point of reference for example the speed of a star moving around a galaxy etc. Suffice to say allot if things that have mass move faster then light from a perspective of standing absolutely still. Look into blue shift and red shift stars on light framing in the field of astrohysics. Ftl is always happening without invoking your frame of refrence.
@@phoenixfire9176 its still relative knew but the most evident issue is that age of the universe vs the size of it. The speed of light is not constant. That is the only certain thing atm in physics thats up for debate.
Interestingly, the A-4 Skyhawk's slats hang down from the wings in the hangar. The reason for this is because the hangar has full physics (for some reason), but this is actually historically accurate - the Skyhawk's flaps were pushed up by airflow, so while stored on carrier decks, they can also be seen hanging down in photos
I actually believe that's not the case. I noticed this too on the A-4 but not on other planes with the same system: the F-86A-5, the F-100D and the F-4E for instance don't show it. Idk if the system is exactly the same but I think it is. I'm also unsure tho if on these planes the slats hang when on the runway and retract when you go faster. It might be that with these planes the slats are only modelled when turning. While on the A-4 it's fully physics based.
@@Wotplaya4 I’ve never seen photos of flaps on those other aircraft hanging while stored in hangars or on carrier decks, only during takeoffs for example
The brich thing: It's mirrored because it would be too easy to recognize them as letters, thus recognizing the texture everywhere and killing players immersion.
The mirroring is a quite common thing in games. Only last few years FPSs don't have all guns butchered with this issue. Imagine the person that owns some guns or shoots a lot and whatever shooting game he/she plays always gets this shitty mirrored guns .
As a Slavic person myself, it is somewhat common tradition of ours, as it is nice way to engrave your love into centuries. TLDR; it is some kind of love proposal made by dev in 1991 and recreated in game because he/she thought their partner would like it.
At light speed the mass of the projectile fired is infinite The formula for getting the velocity is v2 = - m1/m2 * v1 m1 being the mass of the fired projectile, m2 being the mass of the tank and v1 being the speed of the projectile
@@BillyTubememe It takes an infinite amount of energy for an object with mass to reach the speed of light. As mass is relative to kinetic energy, if the kinetic energy is infinite, so will the mass.
@@randomtiger605 alright this doesn't make any sense The projectile is already at a set mass of 1 gram. When its travelling at the speed of light, you have to keep in mind that it suddenly doesn't take in any new mass or lose its own. So the mass does not suddenly become infinite. The game probably uses the simple 0.5×m×v^2 equation to calculate the kinetic energy. At light speed the 1 gram projectile would have the kinetic energy of 45 Terajoules. Of course IRL we know that this doesn't work due to Einstein's relativity theories. But the mass of the projectile does not suddenly become infinite, that's a fact. Take light for example, it travels at the speed of light, while being completely massless. It has no infinite mass, in fact it has none.
@@BillyTubememe "The projectile is already at a set mass of 1 gram. When its travelling at the speed of light, you have to keep in mind that it suddenly doesn't take in any new mass or lose its own. So the mass does not suddenly become infinite. "-that is correct but when you are dealing with speed close or at the speed of light then relativistic mass is a real thing. "Take light for example, it travels at the speed of light, while being completely massless. It has no infinite mass, in fact it has none."- The fact that light travels at the speed of light (speed of causality) is due to the fact that photons have no mass. Anything with a mass can never reach that speed and due to the effects of general relativity will gain more "mass" the closer they reach that speed. Therefore, taking everything together a projectile, with a stationary mass of 1gramm, will in fact obtain infinite mass were it to reach the speed of light.
While in third person in a tank if you are fighting someone point blank, you can zoom in (while still being in third person) and the aiming point will move to a position that makes it easier to align your gun with your target. I never see any TH-camrs doing it and thought it would help a lot of people actually hit where they want while in close engagements
Since you said speed of light, classical mechanics don't apply anymore... Because of relativity it would be infinite, since you would need an infinite force to do infinite work/energy over the finite distance of the barrel
why do things become infinte at the speed of light. Like lets say i hit someone with a punch at 1 meters a second and then i do one at light speed which is 299 792 458 meters a second wouldn't that punch just be 299 792 458 times harder?
@@jammygamer8961 No, check special relativity... (or general relativity if you really want to go on a trip). What comes out of it basically is: things with mass can not reach light speed. The closer you reach the speed of the light the more energy it takes to get there. It doesn't scale as you know it: at low speeds if I travel 3 m/s and throw a ball at 5 m/s then that ball will go 8 m/s relative to the ground. However if I go at like 0.999c (light speed) and throw a ball at 0.999c, the ball won't travel at 1.998c, but just something closer to 1c, but not 1c. This doesn't explain why anything really becomes infinite at light speed, but for that you do need to delve a little deeper in the reasoning and thought experiments behind the equations. But I can say so from a equation point of view. The gamma factor is a frequently reoccuring factor when it comes to relativistic velocties. It is 1/sqrt(1-(v/c)^2), where v is your velocity and c is the speed of light. If you'd take a velocity of one that is approaching c, the ratio v/c becomes 1. The square root of 1 - 1 = 0. And 1 divided by 0 is... well... it does not exist! We can merely only approach 0, as we approach c. Then you can see this gamma factor would go to infinity. You can also see when velocites are much smaller than c, the gamma factor would be roughly just equal to 1, which means all your (non relativistic) equations hold up as is. Momentum classically is mass times velocity, relativistically it's the gamma factor times mass times velocity, you can kinda qet from this how much "harder" a (near) light speed punch would be compared to a 1 m/s punch.
@@TheLadderman war thunder probably just does conservation of momentum, but since its a computer it can ignore other effects such as general relativity.
@@Dagreatdudeman but i thought anything that has mass is unable to reach the speed of light, even with infinite energy it could never get to speed of light.
The only things that can reach the speed of light are massless. Therefore, if you want a gun whose projectiles fly at light speed you need a laser. Or flashlight 🔦
@@Adeline-fm Yeah, I think it was made by ZoltanSultan. It was really well made and had a lot of facts I didn't know, but I think Spookston talking about little details like the fuel-explosion chance variable would be really cool since most things I see aren't talking about War Thunder's code as much
For roughly calculating the theoretical pure recoil of small arms, I have the Arbitrary Recoil Unit (ARU) which is (grains x feet-per-second / 10,000). For reference, a .22lr has around 5 ARU, 5.56mm has 16 ARU, M2 AP .50BMG has roughly 210 ARU, and an M72 shell from an M3 cannon is about 19,808 ARU. For the 1 gram going the speed of light, that's 1,517,930 ARU. That's about 76 M3 cannons firing at the same time, ignoring the propellant gasses.
The War Thunder dev team all seem like very well educated software engineers, but I don't think a single one of them has ever taken a game design course. They get all the math right, but the actual game design philosophy is terrible.
the fuel settings for Tanks are from the early days, there where initial plans to add Fuel mechanics to ground vehicles, but it got decided against it for gameplays sake, would be quite annoying getting standed somewhere in the battlefield with all Fueltanks penetrated and empty.
Imagine having an amazing 5-6 kill game, then you run out of fuel and have to become all of germanys tanks atfer 1943. I feel like the panthers would suffer from the amount of fuel they take and issues with their fuel in general. You've heard about "Panzers have fears of working transmissions" but now get ready for "Panthers have fears of good fuel" 😂😂
WEP and overheating is modeled really cool. Most planes' WEP only boosts manifold pressure by a tiny bit above military power, but, in the advent of trying to make your plane as fast as possible, WEP also closes your radiators and oil radiators for minimum drag. *This* is the main reason WEP causes overheat, and is why taking your plane off WEP almost instantly makes it begin to cool down, because the radiators open back up. Using MEC you can enable WEP power with radiators open, which allows you to hold WEP for much longer and basically infinitely in good conditions (cold map, high pressure, wide open radiators, etc). Keep in mind planes with water injection or nitrous oxide injection systems (see the 109 K-4 or P-51H) can't use WEP forever because they'll run out of their respective "WEP fuel". They also usually produce wayy more power with WEP than otherwise. If your plane's WEP is gray, that means it cannot use WEP anymore because it's run out of WEP fuel or it's in improper conditions (i believe the He 111s for example can't WEP below a certain altitude, not sure)
One interesting thing I found with afterburning jets, while using WTRTI, is you can regulate the afterburner. Aircraft throttle % actually goes over 100%, some people might already know this from certain aircraft, which can go to 103% for instance. But every aircraft can go in the 100-110% throttle range, it depends on your aircraft it it does anything. For most aircraft with a limited WEP function, it doesn't matter, you go over 100% and it engages the full WEP. Most of this category fall in the limited WEP time planes, like propellor driven aircraft like the P-51H. Some aircraft don't have WEP but rather go over 100% in red. This more or less functions as WEP on propellor aircraft without limited WEP, you can keep it engaged but it will eventually overheat the engine quite severely, but you could engage it forever. But in this case it won't say WEP, naturally here it does matter if up until the max throttle percentage. On the G.91 for example 101% equals 110% actually, but the thrust gain is rather minimal (like couple percent thrust difference maybe given enough time)... However for afterburning jets... it has the sort of same mechanic as the "red" throttling over 100%, while showing "WEP" instead. You have the entire range of 100-110% throttle, at 101% the afterburner is engaged (and WEP is shown), one can not see the difference visually from that whether the engine is at what percentage above 100%. But it makes a big difference! At 110% the engine drains the most fuel and generates the most thrust, at 101% it consumes less fuel (still not efficient) but creates a lot less power (extra not efficient). No idea why gaijin did not do the same "red" 101-110% throttle. This I found out one day when I couldn't get to mach 1 on my F-4E with afterburner on, I used the mouse button to disengage and engage the afterburner, making me only set my throttle at 101-103% instead of the full 110%.
interesting that fuel amount is modeled for ground vehicles. maybe they were planning on adding different fuel load outs for ground battles. and since you don’t run into problems with center of mass effecting performance like in planes the load out could be a simple slider. on another note i did some testing on if ammo affects weight and by extension power to weight and speed. from my testing it does not.
About the first fact. I noticed that on the 2S25 Sprut. The APFSDS has quite some recoil but firing the full caliber HE rocks the tank back and forth alot more.
Maybe not super interesting to tankers, but War Thunder's heatseeking missile mechanics are among the most realistic I've seen in a video game. Depending on the missile, I'd say it actually gives DCS a run for their money. Oh, and many tanks have surprisingly detailed interiors that you never get to see because there's no first person. Still a nice touch.

momentum = mass * change in velocity = F( experienced on average ) * A Time Interval - so the force of the shell on the tank would be equal to the mass of the shell * 3e8m/s all divided by the time the shell took to travel through the barrel. That time is calculated by time = final velocity if the shell - initial velocity all over the acceleration of the shell. I am probably wrong as this is my 3rd time taking technical physics but it should be something similar to that
Every patch gaijin adds some details to vehicles like headlights.Others even receive additional things on model. You can notice that with Jackson, P40, I
If i had a penny for every time a War Thunder player leaked classified documents to win a argument, i'd have 2 pennies, which isn't much but its wierd that it happened twice.
Ive known that different shells have different recoil for a while, ever since the cobra king was at 4.7. I noticed it when I was in a custom battle with no-reload turned on and I found out that the M61 shell could pretty easily flip the tank but the apcr round really struggled. I remember trying to tell my friends about this but they just said that I was wrong and all shells have the same recoil
Recoil and support for Spookston's comment about various factors going into it in real life. From the real world test data: Super Hellcat without muzzle brake: shoved backwards 22 inches by main gun firing. Super Hellcat with muzzle brake: moved back about an inch or less than an inch & a half (doing this from memory, so I am not such which. Either way, a huge difference).
Some more: -On some maps the snow (and I think some of the soil and sand too, though not 100% sure) doesn’t have collision modeled and is purely visual, meaning that you can shoot through it. -Map climate (particularly temperature) can slightly affect aircraft performance I think (not 100% sure though) -If you drive right up to cars (not sure if all of them do this) on Seversk-13 you can hear radio broadcasts coming from inside. -Several maps (like Port Novorossiysk, Stalingrad, Berlin and Advance to the Rhine iirc) are recreations of actual ww2 battlefields (late ww2 aerial photograph of the area around the Reichstag shows the large trench nearby and an aerial photograph of Stalingrad shows that the in-game map matches up with the Dzerzhinsky Tractor Factory, for example)
1:12 if my physics class serve me well, the formula to calculate recoil is V=-mv/M… m being the mass of the projectile and M being the weight of the gun.and i think v is the velocity of the bullet. if anyone has the numbers you can plug them in and try.
1:12 If we ignore muzzle breaks etc, a 1g round launched at the speed of light, in non-relativistic physics (which is obviously the case for the game's engine), has the recoil equivalent to that of: a 1kg round launched at 300 km/s OR a KV-2 HE round (40 kg) launched at 7500 m/s OR about 14 KV-2 HE rounds launched simultaneously at their normal speed of 530 m/s
@Spookston regarding speed of light round: 1) HSTV-L should have been only accelerated by 14.56 m/s 2) The projectile had a kinetic energy of 44,937,759,000,000 joules(713 times bigger then little boy)
I would assume for gasoline-powered vehicles that the more empty the tank the more easily and violently it explodes although the resultant fuel fire would be proportionally less. Thanks for great thoughts!
I actually have speed of sound enabled in order to tell how far away something was when it shot me. It also adds to the immersion, which I also appreciate
Wow, these were mildly interesting War Thunder Facts. Thank you Spookston. A question though. How do you raise your gun's elevation without moving the screen itself?
1:13 The recoil generated by that round: 15 meters per second, ~ 33.6 miles per hour m1 * v1 = m2 * v2 where m1 is the weight of the round, v1 is the velocity of the round m2 is the weight of the tank, v2 is the resulting velocity of the tank (recoil) m1 = 1 gram v1 = 299 792 458 meters per second m2 = 20 tons = 20 000 000 grams v2 = (m1 * v1) / m2 = 15 meters per second I'm guessing your tank went flying due to a float error since you are using massive numbers and not because of the round since as you can see, it's not actually that much.
Iirc Oxy said that the devs at some point thought about adding a mechanic where you could run out of fuel. He also said they thought about adding radiator damage into the game but they dropped it as well.
The fuel mass is likely to determine how strong the explosion is when detonated. But I do notice that the plane engines perform differently in different weather scenarios. It's nice to fly an F3D-1 Skyknight at 100% in winter maps and appreciate just how majestic early jets are. Well, for me anyways, the Skyknight is fairly majestic.
For the quick and easy math of using the conservation of momentum. p=mv and to conserve it mass and velocity of projectile = mass and velocity of vehicle HSTV-L mass is 18143.7 kg. (20 tons) XM885 mass ingame is 2.2 kg. 299792458 m/s for speed of light. The game likely ignores relativistic effects, so we will too. (2.2 kg *299792458 m/s)/18143.7 kg We get that the HSTV-L was accelerated to 36,351.1 m/s or Mach 105.
Formula for momentum is p=mv, where p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity (In kg and m/s). To calculate the recoil, find the momentum of the shell and then divide that by the mass of the tank and the result should be the velocity of the tank (Recoil). I think that’s it anyway, probably got something wrong
I really wish your videos were longer....the way you explain and format your videos makes it hard to get bored of your them. But I guess the short vids are probably easier to do and keep up with so I get it.
Just so you know the calculations on recoil revolve around momentum. Physics 101: Momentum (p) = mass( m) * velocity(v) M=mass of the Canon m=mass of a shell u=velocity of the Canon (recoil) v=velocity of the Shell (light speed) Initially the gun is at rest so the total momentum is zero. So we know by conservation of momentum Mu+mv=0. Solving for u tells that the recoil speed is -mv/M.
recoil is probably calculated from kinetic energy which is expressed by E = mv^2/2 so if you put c (speed of light) into v it gets pretty ridiculous even with the lightest shell
Well going back to the fuel in ground rb I remember one arty shell hit my jumbo in the back one time and it didn't kill me, it was close tho. The sell broke my engine, tracks and ALL my fuel tanks. I put down the fires, I repair the tank but it wouldn't move. I pressed O so I could check what was making it not work and yeah, all my fuel compartments were destroyed and I stayed there for the whole match. Just happened once in all my years of playing
BP 1999 this has something to do with IL2 game which is base for WarThunder engine wise , first game released in 2001 so it might be texture used to test dynamic detail level.
There are 2 parts of recoil, primary and secondary. Primary is you are throwing an object of weight x, at speedy y, and there needs to be equal opposite reaction. Secondary is that the gasses are also escaping super fast and pushing back like a rocket for a split second. Secondary is what muzzle brakes reduce. I don't know what hte powder charge or gas velocity would be in a fake round like that but the primary recoil impulse would be roughly 67321.71 lbs.sec for a 1 gram projectile going the speed of light. according to shooterscalculator
Speaking of the lightspeed HSTV-L: The speed of the tank right after the shot should approximately be 1gram * Speed Of Light / Mass Of Tank which gets us 15 meters per second (54 kph) for every shot! That means that if we ignore resistances, the tank would go more than 100kph after only 2 shots! We get this by law of impulse conservation, i.e. the impulse that shoots out of the barrel also shoots the tank back, which gives us the equation: Projectile (mass * speed) = Tank (mass * speed).

Spookston, I think you know the general Audience doesn't like Apex gaming for many reasons good and bad.
If the projectile was moving the speed of light and relativity is taken into account it had infinite energy and zero thickness. If this is ignored like it is in WT then the kinetic energy of the round is (1/2)mv^2 where m=mass and v=velocity so it's kinetic energy is (1/2)(.001kg)(299,792,458 m/s)^2 or 44937.8 gigajoules. This would be the same energy as a Maus traveling at ~22km/s or about 2/3 of the energy of Little Boy, if I got the math right lol.

The speed of sound is not consistent, though I do enjoy having it on. An example would be a plane diving into the ground from a distance. The sound of the plane stops instantly but it takes time for the explosion sound to travel.
that's because the sound source of the engine sound is stopped. This probably stops it immediately and no engine-side consideration was given to the fact that it might have to reach further away players, so it should be continued. This is difficult, as you have to time it just right when you stop the sound, otherwise the engine would keep on playing after the explosion. It's not impossible, but it's a bit of spaghetti and takes time to get right. Evidently, Gajin devs are not really interested in detail, so this wasnt given thought
@@TheWorldEnd2 well, projectiles don't dissapear even after the vehicle that fired them got destroyed. I don't know how sound is modelled, but if it's just delaying the sound based on the distance then the doppler effect doesn't work either. It should definitely work in air battles.
@@skipperhun7580 it is delaying the sound based on the distance and no, dopler effect is not done like it works in real world, it is simply done by modulating. The issue with explosion sounds is that when the vehicle gets destroyed, its sound source gets destroyed too. then a new sound source is created and due to the delaying logic, that sound is now delayed. This creates a small gap where no sound is heard
"...in my exhaustive 30 seconds of research..." Yep, sounds like a high school essay to me!

The recoil value in-game is likely a 4 byte integer so it probably caps out at ~4.2 billion when you fire a 1g projectile at the speed of light

Mildly fact n. 69: you should attack or protect the D point.
bro is stuck in 2007
One fun fact for Air Realistic: If you land your plane without sustaining any damage at all then you can J out into the loadout menu, from there you can respawn back fully armed and refuelled.
This can cutdown times you spend on the ground from 40-20 seconds to less than 4 seconds total.
However do keep in mind that this only works if your plane is undamaged, even the slightest damage will make you bail out instead of going to the loadout menu.
It is a bit risky to do that if you’ve flown over any kind of AAA, even if it was rifle caliber.
You would need infinite energy to accelerate mass to the speed of light. So, I believe the recoil would be... 5? Don't know. I am not good at physics
That's true but I highly doubt WarThunder's engine accounts for relativistic effects.
Actually its all based off point of reference for example the speed of a star moving around a galaxy etc. Suffice to say allot if things that have mass move faster then light from a perspective of standing absolutely still. Look into blue shift and red shift stars on light framing in the field of astrohysics. Ftl is always happening without invoking your frame of refrence.
Elysium End I’m pretty sure nothing can move FTL from any frame of reference. This is why you get relativistic effects on high speed objects
@@phoenixfire9176 its still relative knew but the most evident issue is that age of the universe vs the size of it. The speed of light is not constant. That is the only certain thing atm in physics thats up for debate.
i dont think infinite, it is impossible
Interestingly, the A-4 Skyhawk's slats hang down from the wings in the hangar. The reason for this is because the hangar has full physics (for some reason), but this is actually historically accurate - the Skyhawk's flaps were pushed up by airflow, so while stored on carrier decks, they can also be seen hanging down in photos
I actually believe that's not the case. I noticed this too on the A-4 but not on other planes with the same system: the F-86A-5, the F-100D and the F-4E for instance don't show it.
Idk if the system is exactly the same but I think it is. I'm also unsure tho if on these planes the slats hang when on the runway and retract when you go faster. It might be that with these planes the slats are only modelled when turning. While on the A-4 it's fully physics based.
@@Wotplaya4 I’ve never seen photos of flaps on those other aircraft hanging while stored in hangars or on carrier decks, only during takeoffs for example
The brich thing: It's mirrored because it would be too easy to recognize them as letters, thus recognizing the texture everywhere and killing players immersion.
The mirroring is a quite common thing in games. Only last few years FPSs don't have all guns butchered with this issue. Imagine the person that owns some guns or shoots a lot and whatever shooting game he/she plays always gets this shitty mirrored guns .
As a Slavic person myself, it is somewhat common tradition of ours, as it is nice way to engrave your love into centuries.
TLDR; it is some kind of love proposal made by dev in 1991 and recreated in game because he/she thought their partner would like it.
Did you mean TIL(today i learned)? Because TL;DR: means too long; didn‘t read but there‘s not much to read here
TIL might fit, but not from my point of view. TL;DR: felt more fitting. But I didn't noticed how it oversized the primary message.
_when your tldr is longer than the text it summarizes_
The recoil of 1 g mass out of the HSTV-L barrel is approx 3.44*10^13 N or 7.73x10^12 lbf
Sounds super impressive until you realize the force is over in 8 nano seconds. Nice job on the math tho.
At light speed the mass of the projectile fired is infinite
The formula for getting the velocity is v2 = - m1/m2 * v1
m1 being the mass of the fired projectile, m2 being the mass of the tank and v1 being the speed of the projectile
Mass is infinite at light speed? Are you sure its the mass that is infinite, and not the energy?
@@BillyTubememe It has infinite kinetic energy, so it has to have infinite mass
thats why its unreachable
@@BillyTubememe It takes an infinite amount of energy for an object with mass to reach the speed of light. As mass is relative to kinetic energy, if the kinetic energy is infinite, so will the mass.
@@randomtiger605 alright this doesn't make any sense
The projectile is already at a set mass of 1 gram. When its travelling at the speed of light, you have to keep in mind that it suddenly doesn't take in any new mass or lose its own. So the mass does not suddenly become infinite.
The game probably uses the simple 0.5×m×v^2 equation to calculate the kinetic energy. At light speed the 1 gram projectile would have the kinetic energy of 45 Terajoules.
Of course IRL we know that this doesn't work due to Einstein's relativity theories. But the mass of the projectile does not suddenly become infinite, that's a fact. Take light for example, it travels at the speed of light, while being completely massless. It has no infinite mass, in fact it has none.
@@BillyTubememe "The projectile is already at a set mass of 1 gram. When its travelling at the speed of light, you have to keep in mind that it suddenly doesn't take in any new mass or lose its own. So the mass does not suddenly become infinite. "-that is correct but when you are dealing with speed close or at the speed of light then relativistic mass is a real thing.
"Take light for example, it travels at the speed of light, while being completely massless. It has no infinite mass, in fact it has none."- The fact that light travels at the speed of light (speed of causality) is due to the fact that photons have no mass. Anything with a mass can never reach that speed and due to the effects of general relativity will gain more "mass" the closer they reach that speed. Therefore, taking everything together a projectile, with a stationary mass of 1gramm, will in fact obtain infinite mass were it to reach the speed of light.
While in third person in a tank if you are fighting someone point blank, you can zoom in (while still being in third person) and the aiming point will move to a position that makes it easier to align your gun with your target. I never see any TH-camrs doing it and thought it would help a lot of people actually hit where they want while in close engagements
Since you said speed of light, classical mechanics don't apply anymore... Because of relativity it would be infinite, since you would need an infinite force to do infinite work/energy over the finite distance of the barrel
why do things become infinte at the speed of light.
Like lets say i hit someone with a punch at 1 meters a second and then i do one at light speed which is 299 792 458 meters a second wouldn't that punch just be 299 792 458 times harder?
Jammy Gamer no, because it’s physically impossible for anything with mass to reach the speed of light
@@jammygamer8961 No, check special relativity... (or general relativity if you really want to go on a trip). What comes out of it basically is: things with mass can not reach light speed. The closer you reach the speed of the light the more energy it takes to get there. It doesn't scale as you know it: at low speeds if I travel 3 m/s and throw a ball at 5 m/s then that ball will go 8 m/s relative to the ground. However if I go at like 0.999c (light speed) and throw a ball at 0.999c, the ball won't travel at 1.998c, but just something closer to 1c, but not 1c.
This doesn't explain why anything really becomes infinite at light speed, but for that you do need to delve a little deeper in the reasoning and thought experiments behind the equations. But I can say so from a equation point of view. The gamma factor is a frequently reoccuring factor when it comes to relativistic velocties. It is 1/sqrt(1-(v/c)^2), where v is your velocity and c is the speed of light. If you'd take a velocity of one that is approaching c, the ratio v/c becomes 1. The square root of 1 - 1 = 0. And 1 divided by 0 is... well... it does not exist! We can merely only approach 0, as we approach c. Then you can see this gamma factor would go to infinity.
You can also see when velocites are much smaller than c, the gamma factor would be roughly just equal to 1, which means all your (non relativistic) equations hold up as is. Momentum classically is mass times velocity, relativistically it's the gamma factor times mass times velocity, you can kinda qet from this how much "harder" a (near) light speed punch would be compared to a 1 m/s punch.
@@TheLadderman war thunder probably just does conservation of momentum, but since its a computer it can ignore other effects such as general relativity.
I have a cool fact. If you write "taiwan is a country" on chat or have taiwan flag on your vehicle, you have 40% chance of geting teamkilled
Maybe if you lose fuel tanks you also lose weight in ground vehicles, it could be modelled in already, who knows how that spaghetti code works.

@@u4ren620 probably, not that it matters
@@vaelophisnyx9873 you a furry too?
Since it would take an infinite amount of energy to accelerate a projectile to the speed of light, the recoil should be infinite.
So technically you will have 2 objects flying at the speed of light but in opposite directions 🤔
but a projectile has mass?
@@connerjones6490 Of course! Otherwise it's just a flashlight.
@@Dagreatdudeman but i thought anything that has mass is unable to reach the speed of light, even with infinite energy it could never get to speed of light.
The only things that can reach the speed of light are massless. Therefore, if you want a gun whose projectiles fly at light speed you need a laser. Or flashlight 🔦

I would love to see a full series on odd War Thunder facts!
I think there is one, it might be "almost useful war thunder knowledge", I dont remember
@@Adeline-fm Yeah, I think it was made by ZoltanSultan. It was really well made and had a lot of facts I didn't know, but I think Spookston talking about little details like the fuel-explosion chance variable would be really cool since most things I see aren't talking about War Thunder's code as much
For roughly calculating the theoretical pure recoil of small arms, I have the Arbitrary Recoil Unit (ARU) which is (grains x feet-per-second / 10,000). For reference, a .22lr has around 5 ARU, 5.56mm has 16 ARU, M2 AP .50BMG has roughly 210 ARU, and an M72 shell from an M3 cannon is about 19,808 ARU. For the 1 gram going the speed of light, that's 1,517,930 ARU. That's about 76 M3 cannons firing at the same time, ignoring the propellant gasses.
The War Thunder dev team all seem like very well educated software engineers, but I don't think a single one of them has ever taken a game design course. They get all the math right, but the actual game design philosophy is terrible.
the fuel settings for Tanks are from the early days, there where initial plans to add Fuel mechanics to ground vehicles, but it got decided against it for gameplays sake, would be quite annoying getting standed somewhere in the battlefield with all Fueltanks penetrated and empty.
Imagine having an amazing 5-6 kill game, then you run out of fuel and have to become all of germanys tanks atfer 1943.
I feel like the panthers would suffer from the amount of fuel they take and issues with their fuel in general. You've heard about "Panzers have fears of working transmissions" but now get ready for "Panthers have fears of good fuel" 😂😂
I remember seeing somewhere the tree texture thing is about a dev and his wife
It's hard to be positive about the work of people that actively try to find ways to scam as much money out of you as possible.
One thing I found out messing in test drive a few years back was binocs made a sound when you switched to that view.
WEP and overheating is modeled really cool. Most planes' WEP only boosts manifold pressure by a tiny bit above military power, but, in the advent of trying to make your plane as fast as possible, WEP also closes your radiators and oil radiators for minimum drag. *This* is the main reason WEP causes overheat, and is why taking your plane off WEP almost instantly makes it begin to cool down, because the radiators open back up.
Using MEC you can enable WEP power with radiators open, which allows you to hold WEP for much longer and basically infinitely in good conditions (cold map, high pressure, wide open radiators, etc).
Keep in mind planes with water injection or nitrous oxide injection systems (see the 109 K-4 or P-51H) can't use WEP forever because they'll run out of their respective "WEP fuel". They also usually produce wayy more power with WEP than otherwise. If your plane's WEP is gray, that means it cannot use WEP anymore because it's run out of WEP fuel or it's in improper conditions (i believe the He 111s for example can't WEP below a certain altitude, not sure)
One interesting thing I found with afterburning jets, while using WTRTI, is you can regulate the afterburner. Aircraft throttle % actually goes over 100%, some people might already know this from certain aircraft, which can go to 103% for instance. But every aircraft can go in the 100-110% throttle range, it depends on your aircraft it it does anything.
For most aircraft with a limited WEP function, it doesn't matter, you go over 100% and it engages the full WEP. Most of this category fall in the limited WEP time planes, like propellor driven aircraft like the P-51H.
Some aircraft don't have WEP but rather go over 100% in red. This more or less functions as WEP on propellor aircraft without limited WEP, you can keep it engaged but it will eventually overheat the engine quite severely, but you could engage it forever. But in this case it won't say WEP, naturally here it does matter if up until the max throttle percentage. On the G.91 for example 101% equals 110% actually, but the thrust gain is rather minimal (like couple percent thrust difference maybe given enough time)...
However for afterburning jets... it has the sort of same mechanic as the "red" throttling over 100%, while showing "WEP" instead. You have the entire range of 100-110% throttle, at 101% the afterburner is engaged (and WEP is shown), one can not see the difference visually from that whether the engine is at what percentage above 100%. But it makes a big difference! At 110% the engine drains the most fuel and generates the most thrust, at 101% it consumes less fuel (still not efficient) but creates a lot less power (extra not efficient). No idea why gaijin did not do the same "red" 101-110% throttle.
This I found out one day when I couldn't get to mach 1 on my F-4E with afterburner on, I used the mouse button to disengage and engage the afterburner, making me only set my throttle at 101-103% instead of the full 110%.
interesting that fuel amount is modeled for ground vehicles. maybe they were planning on adding different fuel load outs for ground battles. and since you don’t run into problems with center of mass effecting performance like in planes the load out could be a simple slider.
on another note i did some testing on if ammo affects weight and by extension power to weight and speed. from my testing it does not.
About the first fact. I noticed that on the 2S25 Sprut. The APFSDS has quite some recoil but firing the full caliber HE rocks the tank back and forth alot more.
Maybe not super interesting to tankers, but War Thunder's heatseeking missile mechanics are among the most realistic I've seen in a video game. Depending on the missile, I'd say it actually gives DCS a run for their money.
Oh, and many tanks have surprisingly detailed interiors that you never get to see because there's no first person. Still a nice touch.

Are there any pictures/videos that show these interiors?
@@Mr_Bean_2250 yeah on the forum the thread for the Japanese RCV wheeled vehicle have some pics. Seems like they have seats, radio sets, steering wheel etc on the inside

From apex gaming "Apex Gaming PCs is thrilled to announce our partnership with one of World of Tanks’s biggest creators Spookston. Together, the Apex Gaming PCs Build Team and Spookston developed a beautiful PC designed to handle any situation in World of Tanks, as well as all other PC games
Powered by AMD's latest Ryzen CPUs coupled with NVidia’s most recent GTX and RTX series graphics cards, Spookston’s line of PCs will not disappoint both entry-level, and hardcore PC gamers.
You should probably talk to them about that Spookston
I have, they updated their website and it caused some issues apparently.
momentum = mass * change in velocity = F( experienced on average ) * A Time Interval - so the force of the shell on the tank would be equal to the mass of the shell * 3e8m/s all divided by the time the shell took to travel through the barrel. That time is calculated by time = final velocity if the shell - initial velocity all over the acceleration of the shell. I am probably wrong as this is my 3rd time taking technical physics but it should be something similar to that
Every patch gaijin adds some details to vehicles like headlights.Others even receive additional things on model. You can notice that with Jackson, P40, I
If i had a penny for every time a War Thunder player leaked classified documents to win a argument, i'd have 2 pennies, which isn't much but its wierd that it happened twice.
The recoil from an object traveling at the speed of light with mass would be the close to all the energy in the universe.
I love speed of sound setting, it always give the game a more realistic feeling
Ive known that different shells have different recoil for a while, ever since the cobra king was at 4.7. I noticed it when I was in a custom battle with no-reload turned on and I found out that the M61 shell could pretty easily flip the tank but the apcr round really struggled. I remember trying to tell my friends about this but they just said that I was wrong and all shells have the same recoil
Recoil and support for Spookston's comment about various factors going into it in real life. From the real world test data:
Super Hellcat without muzzle brake: shoved backwards 22 inches by main gun firing.
Super Hellcat with muzzle brake: moved back about an inch or less than an inch & a half (doing this from memory, so I am not such which. Either way, a huge difference).
Some more:
-On some maps the snow (and I think some of the soil and sand too, though not 100% sure) doesn’t have collision modeled and is purely visual, meaning that you can shoot through it.
-Map climate (particularly temperature) can slightly affect aircraft performance I think (not 100% sure though)
-If you drive right up to cars (not sure if all of them do this) on Seversk-13 you can hear radio broadcasts coming from inside.
-Several maps (like Port Novorossiysk, Stalingrad, Berlin and Advance to the Rhine iirc) are recreations of actual ww2 battlefields (late ww2 aerial photograph of the area around the Reichstag shows the large trench nearby and an aerial photograph of Stalingrad shows that the in-game map matches up with the Dzerzhinsky Tractor Factory, for example)
Yes, more of this one please
1:12 if my physics class serve me well, the formula to calculate recoil is
V=-mv/M… m being the mass of the projectile and M being the weight of the gun.and i think v is the velocity of the bullet. if anyone has the numbers you can plug them in and try.
1:12
If we ignore muzzle breaks etc, a 1g round launched at the speed of light, in non-relativistic physics (which is obviously the case for the game's engine), has the recoil equivalent to that of:
a 1kg round launched at 300 km/s
OR
a KV-2 HE round (40 kg) launched at 7500 m/s
OR
about 14 KV-2 HE rounds launched simultaneously at their normal speed of 530 m/s
I love the speed of sound option, very immersive.
I did quite like this video! I hope you make a few more like it.
Fact: War Thunder will make you rip your brain out from uptiers. Overpowered enemies. and research and cost of vehicles being way too expensive
This should be a series
@Spookston regarding speed of light round:
1) HSTV-L should have been only accelerated by 14.56 m/s
2) The projectile had a kinetic energy of 44,937,759,000,000 joules(713 times bigger then little boy)
My favorite kind of facts!
I used to play with speed of sound for quite a long time, but it puts you at a huge disadvantage when you can hear atgms
I would assume for gasoline-powered vehicles that the more empty the tank the more easily and violently it explodes although the resultant fuel fire would be proportionally less. Thanks for great thoughts!
Lmao when I heard the anyway at 1:25 I was like, the video’s already over?
Facts Brother, So True my friend
I actually have speed of sound enabled in order to tell how far away something was when it shot me. It also adds to the immersion, which I also appreciate
Gotta love the subnautica background music
Wow, these were mildly interesting War Thunder Facts. Thank you Spookston.
A question though. How do you raise your gun's elevation without moving the screen itself?
To do that you need to set-up the range settings in options. Personally I have mine set to the mousewheel
key bind
Find it on controls.."rangefinder"
Spook should keep doing this kind of videos, he might find something that needs to be tweeked or something like that.
Interesting video, more of this please :)
The clock in plane's cockpit displays your local time by taking it from your computer
i always have speed of sound on
love it
finally some ACTUAL unknown facts
1:13 The recoil generated by that round: 15 meters per second, ~ 33.6 miles per hour
m1 * v1 = m2 * v2
where m1 is the weight of the round, v1 is the velocity of the round
m2 is the weight of the tank, v2 is the resulting velocity of the tank (recoil)
m1 = 1 gram
v1 = 299 792 458 meters per second
m2 = 20 tons = 20 000 000 grams
v2 = (m1 * v1) / m2 = 15 meters per second
I'm guessing your tank went flying due to a float error since you are using massive numbers and not because of the round since as you can see, it's not actually that much.
pysik
I love little details like this!
Iirc Oxy said that the devs at some point thought about adding a mechanic where you could run out of fuel. He also said they thought about adding radiator damage into the game but they dropped it as well.
There is an independent moving port up top (forgot what it is called) the Soviet PT 76B, it is a very small detail but I like it.
Even though it's not a massive gun, the M3 75, recoils ALOT. Old footage shows it kicking back like a pissed off donkey.
The fuel mass is likely to determine how strong the explosion is when detonated. But I do notice that the plane engines perform differently in different weather scenarios. It's nice to fly an F3D-1 Skyknight at 100% in winter maps and appreciate just how majestic early jets are. Well, for me anyways, the Skyknight is fairly majestic.
Lol, just realised you were in a match with me.
I was in the match at the beginning
Attack the D point !
My favorite is the fact that shell ballistics change based on map temperature
Wow, that was mildly interesting.
More of this please
Did the calculation for the recoil, if i calculated correctly it produced a cool 300k newton of force, which is 30600 kgf which is 67400 lbf
For the quick and easy math of using the conservation of momentum.
p=mv
and to conserve it
mass and velocity of projectile = mass and velocity of vehicle
HSTV-L mass is 18143.7 kg. (20 tons)
XM885 mass ingame is 2.2 kg.
299792458 m/s for speed of light.
The game likely ignores relativistic effects, so we will too.
(2.2 kg *299792458 m/s)/18143.7 kg
We get that the HSTV-L was accelerated to 36,351.1 m/s or Mach 105.
You can shoot KV 2 from below the gun area where the turret meets with the body
Formula for momentum is p=mv, where p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity (In kg and m/s). To calculate the recoil, find the momentum of the shell and then divide that by the mass of the tank and the result should be the velocity of the tank (Recoil). I think that’s it anyway, probably got something wrong
Every time I see one of your videos I remember you call yourself an “average player”, then proceed to go on a rampage
Woah, a Spookston video where he’s not complaining?
I really wish your videos were longer....the way you explain and format your videos makes it hard to get bored of your them. But I guess the short vids are probably easier to do and keep up with so I get it.
Fact- WT has zero fun, it's torture.
Mig 15 bis.
that's it. that's all fun in the geam
Just so you know the calculations on recoil revolve around momentum.
Physics 101: Momentum (p) = mass( m) * velocity(v)
M=mass of the Canon
m=mass of a shell
u=velocity of the Canon (recoil)
v=velocity of the Shell (light speed)
Initially the gun is at rest so the total momentum is zero.
So we know by conservation of momentum Mu+mv=0. Solving for u tells that the recoil speed is -mv/M.
Finally! REAL CONTENT
love the China gameplay in the background
that sherman is op, wish it had a 76 but i loved using it to get to rank 5 on my chinese tree
@@Youllpayforthat I am glad I bought the 1st PTG before it went away
recoil is probably calculated from kinetic energy which is expressed by E = mv^2/2 so if you put c (speed of light) into v it gets pretty ridiculous even with the lightest shell
Well going back to the fuel in ground rb I remember one arty shell hit my jumbo in the back one time and it didn't kill me, it was close tho. The sell broke my engine, tracks and ALL my fuel tanks. I put down the fires, I repair the tank but it wouldn't move. I pressed O so I could check what was making it not work and yeah, all my fuel compartments were destroyed and I stayed there for the whole match. Just happened once in all my years of playing
Nice subnautica music in the background
BP 1999 this has something to do with IL2 game which is base for WarThunder engine wise , first game released in 2001 so it might be texture used to test dynamic detail level.
There are 2 parts of recoil, primary and secondary. Primary is you are throwing an object of weight x, at speedy y, and there needs to be equal opposite reaction. Secondary is that the gasses are also escaping super fast and pushing back like a rocket for a split second. Secondary is what muzzle brakes reduce. I don't know what hte powder charge or gas velocity would be in a fake round like that but the primary recoil impulse would be roughly 67321.71 lbs.sec for a 1 gram projectile going the speed of light. according to shooterscalculator
Speaking of the lightspeed HSTV-L: The speed of the tank right after the shot should approximately be 1gram * Speed Of Light / Mass Of Tank which gets us 15 meters per second (54 kph) for every shot! That means that if we ignore resistances, the tank would go more than 100kph after only 2 shots! We get this by law of impulse conservation, i.e. the impulse that shoots out of the barrel also shoots the tank back, which gives us the equation: Projectile (mass * speed) = Tank (mass * speed).
Fun Facts: The grind in a miserable slog.
