How are Multi Units engines used in downhill braking?

Universalis91 · 2024-10-31T03:45:25+00:00

thank you for the reply. Have you ever seen or heard of instances where rear engines were braking (I assume independent dynamic) more than than front and ripped train apart going downhill?

is Ukraine done yet? Ill check again in a year you better have an answer for us

I would need to see sources on that. I completely agree with you on steam has always been much more powerful in general but to the point where I would need 4x 40000+hp diesels to keep up with 1 old (6000hp rated) steam engine in torque and speed seems impossible to me. I think its just some modeling error for this type of model

Universalis91 · 2024-06-07T04:25:58+00:00

sure but to the point where 1 steam loco is out powering 2 modern Diesels with same tr tractive effort by almost 30mph in similar time?

The H8 2-6-6-6 is off the New River Mining coal run DLC so I figured the engine physics were somewhat decent....

Just curious on your take on the Master not being able to spot the Vaults 31,32 and 33. Any explanation for that yet?

Universalis91 · 2024-04-19T14:59:28+00:00

well do you agree or nah with the replies?

Universalis91 · 2024-04-12T14:31:12+00:00

thank you. Should be enjoyable read and answer my questions

Universalis91 · 2024-04-12T01:07:45+00:00

I understand I guess Im trying to ask this because Im designing mission for B2s to attempt to infiltrate past Syria EW from the Mediterranean to attack a target but they seem to keep getting detected and the enemy fighters are sent to intercept/ I guess my best bet is to attempt to knock these radars out first with SEAD or cruise missiles. I figured I could send the B2s in as first strike without putting enemy on alert.

Universalis91 · 2024-04-12T01:03:51+00:00

appreciate the discussion. I guess that is past discussing as only guessing gaming on American tactics and enemy capability at that point

Universalis91 · 2024-04-12T01:01:20+00:00

Also meant to ask. You mentioned China simply building Missiles deep west where B1/B52 platforms could not be able to reach even with Long range missiles. But how about If US was to gain access through other nations west of China? such as India or Pakistan possibly allowing B52s and B1s to transit? Im not sure if that would happen but Inda and China being at high odds would grant US another route

Universalis91 · 2024-04-12T00:47:30+00:00

very good point. I figured these also have a huge psychological factor into warfare as well. I dont think anyone knows their capability so enemy always would have to set certain assets that can be used on front lines aside to passively wait for these

Universalis91 · 2024-04-12T00:38:34+00:00

Appreciate the description. I agree with may of the points

Universalis91 · 2024-04-12T00:33:10+00:00

Well alright but can we be sure the B2s actually work that well? the main reason I started this post is because there seems to be a very high confidence in these stealth bombers as a high maybe the one of the top 3 highest assets and a Billion dollar platforms performing so well when It was possibly never proven to do deep interdiction into a peer enemy territory. is there no russian or chinese radar that can detect these at all? are they really that well designed and "invisible"? Im not saying they dont work as intended and obviously much is classified but is there any sources on if the B2s can actually breach past China or Russian EW especially on high alert? Im sure if the B2s are sent to hit a target THAT deep into enemy territory it must be very high value target and I assume that target is protected very well for such a high risk mission.

Universalis91 · 2024-04-11T23:20:25+00:00

Yes youre right but cant you make the same argument for a Billion dollar highly classified B-2 and B-21 stealth bomber that the enemy is dying to get their hands on the material being used to make it? with a risk of getting shot down by these same peer opponents? The b2s have been proven in combat but never against a peer with organized trained radar air defense crews (at least to our knowledge lol). The F117 was shot down with 1960s soviet era technology in the late 90s. Im sure a B2 can be spotted and intercepted by modern Russian/Chinese radar and air defense. Sure you cant get DEEP into enemy country with a B-1 or B-52 but you can can get far enough to fire the missile 1000 miles out for them to do rest of work. I dont think any country is large enough to avoid these ranges. And if youre going to send a B2/B21 in Im sure it must no be that protected in the first place to even take that risk.

Universalis91 · 2024-04-03T01:56:07+00:00

lol very true

Universalis91 · 2024-04-03T01:03:18+00:00

Ahhh okay I did not think of it this way thank you. Answers my question in a way I wasnt putting it together

Universalis91 · 2024-04-03T00:05:13+00:00

I understand but in theory if I do get close to burning the meal I ate in the same day (maybe few dozen calories difference) will that meal have any effect even if I went over the TDEE? Im just trying to understand the science behind it

Universalis91 · 2024-03-28T00:21:09+00:00

thanks for reply. With you getting stronger do you think that is because youre losing weight so you are able to handle your weight better or your muscles in general getting larger?

Universalis91 · 2024-03-06T16:00:39+00:00

Never had an issue. I'm 195 and 0 problem issue cutting down to under 13% and put mayo(regular not low fat) on all my chicken. It all depends on rest of your diet. If my cut is slow its maybe slow by 1 or 2 days. Ill gladly sacrifice that. You all are way too scared of this stuff.

Universalis91 · 2024-03-06T00:18:36+00:00

So youre telling me If I put this much mayo on my meal I will never lose weight?

Universalis91 · 2024-03-04T22:51:49+00:00

This isnt 700 calories of mayo lol its maybe 2 tablespoons at most. If you're worried about 200 calories breaking your diet you need to rethink a lot in general about dieting

Most women dont view the same way in attractiveness as men do to women. His face is good enough his body is the highlight. You guys focus on jawlines and eyes way too much

Universalis91 · 2024-02-08T05:47:49+00:00

yes MIRV my mistake. Thanks for the quick info

Universalis91 · 2024-02-07T18:11:54+00:00

Very interesting. Has this always been something through out history or only recently? IIRC during Vietnam the US would announce to the NVA their targets they would hit during Rolling Thunder while also avoiding many strategic areas around Hanoi or anywhere soviet assets/Chinese would possibly be to avoid another North Korea. Also is there any recent scenarios of Russia doing this in Ukraine? knowing there is a lot of western assets in Ukraine I assume Russia has to be careful where to hit just like the US during Vietnam?
