As we all know, on the battlefields, your life often depends on how fast you can get weapons. So if that’s that important, I decided to measure which path is the fastest to travel at the beginning of the game.
Most of you probably realized that going upside down from the plane and then sustaining the forward + lateral motion when your parachute jumps (to avoid loss of speed) and then advancing to landing is the fastest way to descend.
Things get a little more complicated when we want to travel further, like 2 or 3 km from the plane. After hours and hours of testing different shapes and speeds, I came to the conclusion.
Being the first technique, we must travel forward looking towards the horizon and try to get as far as possible before the automatic parachute fire is activated (900 m – 1.2 km is the most it can do). The distance you will travel after the fall is open depends on how fast you are willing to maintain.
There is a table with my results:
Speed - Distance – Time
20 + km / h – 1.40 – 1 m 25 seconds
40 + km / h – 1.55 – 1 m 09 sec
50 + km / h – 1.50 – 1m 00sec
60 + km / h – 1.30-0 m 58 seconds
The second technique is to fly forward and get the parachute out as soon as we can. After that, maintaining the correct speed will give us huge differences in results.
There is a table with my results:
Speed - Distance – Time
20 + km / h – 2.90 km – 3 m 33 seconds
30 + km / h – 2.30 km – 2 m 35 seconds
40 + km / h – 1.90km – 2m 02sec
50 + km / h – 1.65 km – 1 m 37 seconds
60 + km / h – 1.30 km – 1 m 24 seconds
3rd technique parachute down and drive with vehicle
I also measured the approximate time it takes if we parachute to the vehicle and try to drive 2 km. In this way we can compare it with long-distance skydiving and know which is the fastest way.
That is what I found out:
Vehicle – Distance – Time
UAZ – 2km – 2m 17sec
Buggy – 2km – 2m 14sec
Dacia – 2km – 2m 02sec
Bicycle – 2km – 1m 51sec
Superbike – 2 km – 1 m 44 seconds
Ofc’s bikes are the fastest and will in fact parachute anyone and Dacia will get you there at roughly the same time.
Note that all these measurements were made with perfect driving and on a somewhat flat surface.
