perfo question: increased V2!!!

[inner]

Hello ,

i've read that an aircraft can increase its weight by increasing its V2 because this would give a better climb gradient.

I know that the formula of a climb gradient is: (thrust minus drag) divided by weight.

Now what i don't understand is: does the increased V2 increases our thrust or decreases or drag??

is there someone who can explain this a bit.

thx
