Transonic Definition Edit.

[XING06]

Why are we using Mach 0.9 to 1.1 as the value for transonic? Every source I've seen gives it as 0.8 to 1.2, we should change this for accuracy.

I don't think the value needs to strictly abide to the normal usage of transonic.

 

[XING06]

Why not though? It's more accurate that way and why included it at all if we weren't going to use it properly

 

[Andytrenom]

It fits in line with what "transonic" implies, so there isn't really a need to revise it over such a minor difference in values.

Please remember that adjusting any rating, comes with the task of adjusting all pages accordingly. So you have to see if the change is truly worth it or not.

I know that's why we didn't edit lightning speed when I brought it up, even though we're using a high end instead of the average, but I haven't seen too many people with a transonic rating though?

Also, it is pretty important as drag gets wierd and a lot more in that area until you get to supersonic so it takes some doing to move past this zone.

OP is correct...and so is Andy, this is just too minor to justify being prioritized

 

[XING06]

Eh OK if everyone says so I guess. Just something to keep in mind then.
