Am I doing it wrong or are all the inline 6 engines insipid? Also, why no supercharging inline engines?
A couple of related questions, so I stuck them together.

As far as I can tell, it's impossible to supercharge inline engines in Revhead. Is it possible and I don't know how it's done? Am I missing something? Supercharging would help with the other problem I have with the inline engines - they don't seem to have any advantages compared with V engines, only disadvantages.

I have made a car with an inline 4 that does 8.32s in the 400m drag race, but it's wildly impractical for anything else as it only makes serious power at the top of the rev range.

Hi! you cant supercharge Inline engines ATM, but consider using a stage pipe for a twin turbo inline setup. This way it will becoma a sequential turbo setup. Use a small quick spooling and a bigger later spoolong turbo for optimal performance

Yeah, I do that. It's sometimes done in real life, so it seemed like an obvious thing to try in the game. I favour the Kanji turbo for the small one. I might be imagining things, but it seems to spool up quickly for the boost it gives.

But I'm not seeing a reason to use an inline 6 over a V6 in Revhead. Even the Walea SV6 spanks all the inline 6's. They're all a bit meh. The 4 cylinder engines have more variety and I find some interest in trying to build something that can use the Panania and Euroa 4 cylinder engines effectively, which requires maintaining high revs as much as possible. But the inline 6's don't seem to have anything going for them. It's not a big deal - I just don't use them. But maybe there's a place for a 6 cylinder version of the SLE4 Euroa 4 cylinder engine?
