re-doing it because apparently one of the devs is either a shareholder for Boeing and proceeds to use AI information which is blatently wrong.
original: one thing that often confused me is that why some aircraft are slower than they are suppose to go ? Like I get the A340-200/300 are slow at 494 ish knots because of their tiny CFM engines... but the 500/600 series use the much more powerful RR Trent engine which matches their thrust/MTOW with the competitor (like 777 and MD-11).
The 777 series ingame for example have like 500+ knots and airliners are similar at mach 0.85 cap... so buff the 500/600 series of the A340 to 500+ knots (maybe at 505 or 510 knots like the rest). Also even when fully refurbished my A340-500/6000 on average only goes 480 knots like wtf ???
