Post by: Tilt on May 27, 2006, 01:33:49 AM

Have the dive rates changed? (with the last update) any one testing this?

Do you mean compression speeds?  From what I've seen my little parachutist still falls at the same rate :)

He probably means dive acceleration and terminal dive speed.

As I have been compiling high altitude data on planes, I conclude each run with a full power dive from 25k, straight into the ground. The purpose was to determine max speed. I haven't seen any significant differences since 2.07 update. At least on te dozen I've tested so far.

What I did determine is that both Zeros can reach 585 mph before anything breaks. That's about 160 mph faster than the A6M2 could manage without damage in the real world. That certainly needs looking in to.

My regards,
