[NEED TESTING 2.5.0.2] Engines in the 1900s are significantly weaker than past

[Eric.B]

During a previous play, I immediately started designing a new engine after unlocking SOHC. I found that the torque of the engine using SOHC was much greater than that using other valves. Additionally, this 2.7L 4-cylinder engine using SOHC had a torque of 191 Nm in naturally aspirated form and 192 Nm when using supercharging. I found this quite strange.

After v2.5.0.2, try to duplicate this again, and provide the save games.

I generally can only balance the game using the AI, and the AI is pseudo scripted to follow historical approach. In my own testing, I mainly focus on being able to recreate real life engines. The issue there is that there is typically a large extreme.

Finally, I blindly built a bunch of powerful engines, and then found that no matter what, I couldn't build a gearbox that could withstand their torque. ?

That is normal. Remember the game supports everything from lawn mower to diesel submarine engines. There is a tipping point where you won't be able to mate it to a gearbox without penalties.
