Wasp acceleration


 Share

Question

So wasp is the fastest hull, but it’s the second slowest hull when it comes to accelerating(with hunter being the slowest right?). So how long does it take for a wasp to get to it’s max speed. And is it the same for other hulls?

Suppose we have Wasp Mk7+. It's acceleration is defined to be 13 m/s2.

Let's suppose again we take the initial speed to be 0 m/s, and the final speed to be 12 m/s (which is the maximum for Wasp Mk7+).

Now if we apply:

a = ( v- vi ) / Δt

or, 

Δt = ( v- vi ) / a

We would find that a Wasp Mk7+ takes about 0.923077 seconds to reach a top speed of 12m/s. From this acceleration info we can also conclude at any given point, Wasp Mk7+ exerts 26 kN of force on an object assuming the mass of the hull is 204.08 kilos ( weight = 2000 (kg, perhaps?), standard gravitational constant for Earth = g = 9.8 m/s2 and therefore w = m x g and further a = F / m ).

Hello,

The fastest hull would be the Juggernaut, it's top speed is 18 m/s (Meter per second). It can also reach its top speed pretty quickly.
Wasp, on the other hand, is the fastest hull you can purchase in the garage. There are no value given for the time it'd take for any hull to reach it's maximum speed, however, Power affects the time it takes a tank to get to its maximum speed and ability to push other tanks. And the hull with the most Power at MK7+ level is Dictator, whereas, the hull with the least Power at MK7+ level is Wasp.

So, according to my assumption, Wasp would take about less than a second to reach its maximum speed (I could be wrong). And no, it is (Power) different for each hull.

The 12 m/s is the top speed of the MK7+ and it is not the acceleration. There is another parameter in the Wasp parameters table called acceleration, but has it has no unit of measure only Hazel can tell.

But in terms of top speed, the fastest hull is juggernaut right?

Because the acceleration of juggernaut seems to be the same as the wasp's one. Also what is the rate of friction occurring on wasp??

Nope, that would be a Wasp with Crisis drone on Speed boost => That would be faster than The Juggernaut.
I have calculated that a wasp MK7+ with Crisis drone at the zero MU would be slightly faster than the Juggernaut 18.1 m/s. > 18.0 m/s. We need a video to confirm, often the data from TO spec are difficult to interpret. Furthermore the Drone Crisi is relatively new and the stats may change on regular basis.

Currently: Icon drone additional speed.png Additional speed: (20 → 70) %

Speed boost is 40%.

Exactly.

what about hornet -_-

Hornet takes less than a second too. In fact, it can accelerate faster than wasp, which means it takes even less time than 0.923077 seconds (Time taken for Wasp to reach its Top speed - according to Hexed's Math skills) ?
