Speed reform

[Dylan Hsu]

Here's my suggestion. Increase the amount by which engine upgrades increment unit speed.

I agree. Would make a mod if I wasn't busy with somethng else...

i never notice the speed upgrades actually...

Nether do I.

That's because they're really small; on the order of 5% increases. They're designed so they don't overpower the differences between different propulsions and weight classes.

well then, i must get better eyes to play spot the difference ^_^

They should be raised to like 10% so people who have them have an advantage over someone else who doesn't have them, all else being equal.

Agree:)

maybe while we are on the topic of speed, why is turning so slow and labored?

Because..

Agreed

I'd think a mod of this kind would be a great addition to WZ..

you used quotes to answer? thats the first time i've seen anything like it ^_^

Another reason for not noticing it: Most propulsions have a speed limit that remains unchanged, so you won't see these upgrades do anything unless you use some very heavy weapons.

Agreed

It's..

[the] same here.

i think i have just been owned ^_^

It only really matters on heavy tanks with heavy weapons.

Going from 120 to 125 speed - meh

Going from 5 to 10 speed= huge difference.
Of course, there are no combinations like that, but still.
Only really heavy tanks gain a significant benefit.

Also note that speed is capped for each propulsion, so even with powerful engine upgrades, tracks wont outrun hover or wheels.

But it might make a python faster than a mantis, if the mantis isn't upgraded as well (I think it already can, for some weapon and prop combos), but this may not be a bad thing.
We might actually see some collective bodies put to use if engine upgrades are improved.
