Damage dropoffs changed significantly

This needs some explanation imho.
Were dropoffs increased, ergo less damage beyond optimal distance, or the opposite?

OMG with this new option to put left/right controls on mouse X axis I feel myself like I fly VTOL or ASF for the first time.

My default controls for VTOL is completely reversed. Even A is right turn while D is left. And it is only for VTOL (for ASF is fine).

Does anyone have such problem too?

I bet that there are LESS dropoffs to:
a) encourage more ranged combat
b) to help AA because with x-axis mouse, aeros are going to be godly

DELETE YOUR ACTIONMAPS

I am sorry do I need to delete some file? Couse I deleted my previous config in Actionmaplist and created completely new one.
I do not have problem with anything but VTOL controls.

When will you guys enable auto download for customs maps?

Well I think you guys should implement a voting system for map changing before auto download.

I don't know if you played tribes 2 but it has a nice voting system for map changing and kicking cheaters

I can't comment on the possibility of a voting system, however another thread around here somewhere discussed the auto download as requiring significant new assets to be created, so it may be a while before that will be implemented

[zephoid]

This release looks to be great. combats a few of the more annoying issues and looks like it it adds a few new variants. updating now and will be playing after class. thanks devs.

[Kadreal]

No modified Heph? 

[~SJ~ Wolf]

Mixed feelings.

[SquareSphere }12thVR{]

we all need to get a few games under our belts before forming opinions on the changes.

[Profane Arbiter]

Will we ever see a nerf to firebombs, or will I forever be forced to suffer a slow lumbering walk into battle with heavy and assault mechs just to be 1 shot killed or crippled and forced all the way back into my hangar from attacks I have little to no change to protect myself against?

I'll grant you I probably could have found a way to use a bit more punctuation in that question...

Yep, had to switch turning around backwards. I also can't stand roll on the keyboard. So its right back to the old VTOL control for me. MRM still broken. MRM VTOL is practically useless. Ran out of ammo trying to kill a light. Hit him with everything I could. Most missiles are not regging hit. Also seems that no missiles that hit the top of a mech do any dammage.
