Wolfhound V.S Tweakscaled Terrier


Misguided Kerbal

Recommended Posts

the wolfhound, because of It's MUCH higher Delta-V (412 on the Xbox, I think) and cool looks/name. of course I don't have tweakscale, because I play on le Xbox, so, can someone tell me how much thrust a 2.5 meter terrier has?

For OP engines through Tweakscale you should usually scale down, because the bigger parts are balanced with better economy of scale. In this case however there isn't a better vacuum engine in the game for most use cases (unless you use a 2.5m LV-N or ion). A 2.5m Rhino would mass 6t and have 1333kN (calculated, not checked). This will still normally be worse on grounds of higher mass and lower vacuum Isp, but on a sufficiently massive stage it would be better purely down to lower gravity losses.

Assuming you won't be landing with it, you should compare it to a non-scaled Terrier if you want a real competition. I have regularly found the Wolfhound to be a poor choice for deltaV on deep-space engines. A poodle will even beat it on smaller 2.5m crafts.
