Panther Mechanics?

[mattihase]

I'm having a bit of a time working out how panthers work in KSP2.

As far as I thought I understood it, putting the panthers into wet/afterburn mode should give the vessel more thrust, and on smaller vessels this seems to be the case, but when trying to use them on a larger vessel, whenever I swap them to afterburning mode, the vessel's speed starts to rapidly drop.

Is there something about the Panthers I'm failing to understand here or is this just some craft specific bug?

No idea, they work in my experience but the game also gives them around one or two seconds of no thrust to transition between modes.

In the experience I had they did stop dropping off after a while but they didn't ever "catch up" and start getting faster again.
