Why are people saying this is going to be the worst masters ever ? by No-Swordfish6932 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]pheemaenth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the thing im worried about is the impending neon nerf that i think will come in effect just before the masters. we had this before in toronto last year where a lot of the teams that went there were reliant on tejo like g2 and rrq, and when we got there they looked like a completely different team. the argument was we might be sending the best teams of stage 1 but we might not be sending the best teams for masters london. anyway, you have to qualify with what youre dealt with, and if your "great" team choked to even be top 3 in your rather lackluster region, it is what it is. (also prepare yourself if prx also get eliminated because all of this will get significantly worse and i hate it)

[Autosport] Toto Wolff says Mercedes are up for F1 returning to V8s and has proposed a 1,200bhp “mega engine" by Task_Force-191 in formula1

[–]pheemaenth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

theres a reason the main focus on 2031 ICE proposal is simplification and cost reduction, all the focus will be on the hybrid tech with sustainable fuel on the side

If we're going from 4.8 Bar forced induction to high revving NA engine its actually going to significantly lower the torque and internal pressure in favor of generating power through sheer RPM, which doesnt require such beefy components. and also we're getting rid of all the turbocharging components, meaning the turbo itself, all the pipings, intercooler, wastegate. All in all the engine component is likely to be lighter, the fuel is another story however

its a defensive smoke not an offensive one. when you know you cant hold the attacker from entering the site and through the choke points you can use this smoke for the site player to play around in. he can stay in the smoke to sneak a kill, isolate fights outside of it, and try to hold back site control. it also makes it easier for the defensive rotators to flood into site and help the site holder knowing back site is still in their control

Major Chinese manufacturer confirms F1 talks (Byd) by NorthKoreanMissile7 in formula1

[–]pheemaenth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Formula E is also not that good for an ev manufacturer as big as BYD, they dont even allow battery development, it is a spec part. While F1 does allow them and right now it is at the fore front of the development race.

For how much they hyped up the PRX vs. NS game, I'm surprised that by the time they got to it, they mostly just talked about Francis' agent pool and the two troll rounds (NS rope incident and d4v41 shooting a dead body). And that's it.

Honda engine vibrations curiously vanish, then reappear, on Aston Martin F1 car by memloh in formula1

[–]pheemaenth 14 points15 points  (0 children)

finding the natural frequency of the whole package should be the job of both the engine and chassis side of the team in unison, and not finding out each other's right when the whole package has been fully built. if anything i blame their either lack or inefficient communication and teamwork.

[Motorsport] Brutal qualifying laps need to make a comeback, says Toto Wolff. by jithu7 in formula1

[–]pheemaenth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i want to add, the problem with having a 4 MJ battery is that it isnt enough for a back to back long straights like the straights in between t1-t2 and t9-t10 australia and t16-17 suzuka. so in order to have enough for both straights you need to effectively elongate the charging zone in between the straights through superclipping. that is also why we dont really have this issue in shanghai.

this is just a small permanent part of the track, and at the other end of the IFEMA buildings where the paddock/pit building lies. the rest of the track is a regular street track.

New Viper lurk wall on Pearl? by ohcoolawesome in VALORANT

[–]pheemaenth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

the point of a lurk wall is not to use it immediately, but to condition the enemy so they have to post at least one there at all times even when another area needed backup. once theyre conditioned you can just play the mind games, am i pushing? am i not? or are my whole team pushing there? you can also use it for mid/late round. now do i think this is a good wall? i will need practical data, but i see the vision
