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.
-
When was the last time you flew one?
-
Nothing changed.
-
Tempest.......... it seems very nonresponsive and heavy.
Same as always! :aok
-
And yet I routinely see them dive in at Mach 5 and instantaneously change directions for a kill shot in under 400 yards. :rolleyes:
-
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.
-
This happens every new version.

This happens every new version.
They neuter the Tempest in every version? Wow. Wonder what it was like ten versions ago...
:D
-
It sucked so bad, it made Alcubierre proud.
-
Think you misspelled Typhoon :D
-
Nothings changed about it :noid :noid
-
Course Tempest is neutered, fly near a WW you will find out anythings neutered.
-
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
-
I stay away from vbases now. A few days ago I saw lazer go in, and he didn't come out :eek:
donkey
-
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.

You're flying it wrong.

OK I feel better now. Moray this dumb post of mine is all your fault!! :furious :lol

So how does messing with the speed that gears and flaps come out make it "very nonrespondsive and heavy"?
If your slow enough to deploy flaps in a tempest in a fight then your to slow.

Point was, everyone was saying nothing was done to the Tempest in this upgrade. The read me says otherwise. Also, after working in the software industry for enough years to know how things go it is possible that something was indirectly effected. I don't usually fly the Tempest so I couldn't tell you, but it obviously, by the read me, was modified this go around. :aok
-
Other minor things were changed/fixed aswell not mentioned in the read me.
Such as the p39's gunsights, the auto take off isnt as violent, and its not ubber at 12k anymore. :(
So yeah, things got changed here and there.
-
Took one up the night before, fly's A-0k :aok

Thing is that every time theres an update someone says that a plane that was updated or had something changed that doesnt effect the flight model is porked and doesnt fly right.

True, and sometimes they are right and sometimes they aren't.
-
Nothing changed.
It seems "he changed", but the plane didn't.
