Tempest neutered now?
« on: March 21, 2008, 12:58:09 PM »
I took a Tempest up last night for the first time since the new patch came out, and it seems very nonrespondsive and heavy. The speed is still there but handling is very poor now....IMO.

And yet I routinely see them dive in at Mach 5 and instantaneously change directions for a kill shot in under 400 yards.  :rolleyes:

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Yeah I believe nothing on the Tempest was changed for this patch, it might just be that you haven't flown one in awhile, or you just think in your mind that it has changed so it feels like it changed.

They neuter the Tempest in every version?  Wow.  Wonder what it was like ten versions ago...

Bwa ha ha ha! :rofl
I like that whole "fly too close to a Wirble and every thing neutered" bit.
It is kind of funny because I see alot of people circle a v-base now afraid to
dive in on the hangars because the pad is covered with Wirbles!  :rofl

Per the read me file for 2.12

Changed maximum airspeed limitation for Tempest flaps and gear.

So, yes, it was tweaked and something did get changed.
