Why is the Stormer HVM so bad?

On that note, I’ve previously made a post over on the old forums and pending the new upload on these forums, if you want to check it out while the post here is pending, take a look

Wake up babe, time for your quarterly stormer nerf.

10% less total sustainer thrust, increased dead zone and further nerfed speed? boy am I just thrilled.

On the dev server the darts seem to be further apart when they separate from the 1st stage, feels like your more likely to miss.

Yes I have noticed this too. they appear to be much further apart. Honestly just assumed i was losing it after looking at the other severe screwups this devserver has made though.

Pardon my French, but for fucks sake.

Constant HVM Nerf leaves me no hope for if/when we get the Stormer AD (Which is desperately needed at 10.0/10.3 for Brits.)

In all fairness, when has consideration been given for “britain needing something to remain competent”. Did you forget that we’re using a tornado against F-16Cs, and a nerfed challenger 2 against T-80BVM superweapons?

It goes without saying really.

So I just tried out the latest stormer on the dev server.

These are the results :

Just using it :

This is how the darts move at range. Some weird line thing going on :

I noticed the VT1 now has a smokeless 2nd stage motor but I’m not 100% if it did already anyway

Also those weird lines are in the live version.

So they are, I never noticed before.

My live reaction to them successfully making it even worse than the practically unusable state it is in currently.

Also yes, looking at old clips I have saved the darts definitely appear to be further apart.

Yes.

We may have a major problem here.

Watch this, it looks like it isn’t playing at first, but it is :

This is the TEST DRIVE, where I never had the phasing thing before. There are no latency issues, or server positioning issues. The darts passed straight through the centre mass of the aircraft.

I slowed it down so you can see, they just pass straight through so they may have infact made it worse.

Heh, just wanted to highlight it as I never had this happen on the test drive before, it’s always been well behaved on there for me.


Im not sure what to say so i will leave this here

Yeah the phase through bug never applied in test drive before.

Fixing an absolutely debilitating issue that is plaguing a vehicle and making it functionally unable to kill planes more often than not in gameplay? I sleep.

Nerfing it without fixing this? Real shit.
