Beta Update 04.13.23

Post by Bones »

New update today!

I am looking forward to this:

Major improvement and overhaul of F-14B FM performance characteristics:

Tuned F-14B level flight acceleration.
Tuned F-14B turn performance.
Tuned F-14B top speed and excess power across the flight envelope.

I always regard these sort of updates as suspect. By "tune," they could mean nerf or bork. They start messing with the Tomcat's amazing turn rate and I'll be ticked off.

Well, the last major patch borked the Tomcat's turn rate in the way that it behaves and I didn't like it. I tried it now. The turn rate behavior appears to have been fixed, but the quality of the turn feels the same as in the last patch. So it's a slight improvement but not a significant one, IMHO. It does seem to have eeked out a tad bit more power/energy in it, but not too significantly like I said.

A little disappointed.

I went on but being by myself I really couldn't penetrate their air defenses. I did take out 2 MiG-21s though.
