Took it up a few times tonight.. definitely need to watch yourself more when slow, fought 5 1v1's and was still flyin' only to auger it when I tried to split-S from "sufficient" alt onto the tail of a spit16. Interesting side effect that I'm curious about more.. the extra weight, she seemed to dive better, pick up more speed an retain it... I stayed 800-1000 back from a temp tonight for quite awhile after diving onto his tail as be took off in the opposite direction.
Can't just pull the stick into your belly and go 'round 'n 'round wit the bad guys anymore, really curious to try and get a feel for it in the next couple weeks. does seem to fly more like the J now just w/out WEP and less performance in the vert.
I still maintain that the extra weight is not to factory spec but instead to account for the industrial strength margarita blenders and mounting hardware installed on all 80th's 38G's. With any luck this is just the first step in HTC loosening up their policy on field mods being included in the game.
