Re: Suggestions for space battle

I don't get why people complain about looping around and around in dogfights.  IT'S YOUR OWN FAULT! big_smile  Try something else, snap into a roll, sling around a capital ship then loop back.  dang.....

Anyway, the one thing that needs to be fixed regarding space is the fighter turning physics; right now they make no sense.

The faster you're going, the larger your turn radius should be.

The slower you're going, the tighter the turns you are able to make.

That alone would improve dogfighting because it would throw in more tactics like slowing down to make a quick turn away when looping endlessly.

Re: Suggestions for space battle

yeah, it feels like you turn quicker when you are boosting, but i'm not sure if it gives you a larger radius, canadiens that sounds like a great idea

Re: Suggestions for space battle

Yeah, I noticed that too. If I want to get a sharper turn in a flight sim I'll slow down and make the turn. Here, if I slow down I can't turn at all!

Re: Suggestions for space battle

Did you ever try to dogfight a B-Wing at low speed? It's a royal pain in the a... It's seems to be able to outturn you at the same speed and when you accelerate a bit further you start flying circles around it, strange.

That's the best part of flying a B-wing smile You have the ability to roll much easier and if you use the weapon rotate key to both avoid fire and roll more quickly a B-wing will destroy everything in a dogfight.

Exactly. Please don't make the developers change the game because people don't know how to play.

Don't get into a turning fight. Simple as that. Break off and re-acquire the enemy. Endless turning fights just make you one big target.

thats ok but i think adding the tighter turning at lower speeds would make space better.
