Hello there.
After seeing some feedback about strafing being faster than walking, going backward being faster then strafing and other weird stuff, i decided to do some testing. Been doing 10s movement going forward, backward, and strafing with different suits. And here are the results.
Parameters : 10s movement in one direction.
Heavy suit : (skinweave. base speed : 3.65)
Gåæ : 38/37/39m
Gåô : 37/38/38m
Gåö : 38/38/38m
Assaut : (Minmatar. base speed : 5.3)
Gåæ : 56/55/55m
Gåô : 57/55/55m
Gåö : 55/57/55m
Scout : (Dragonfly. base speed : 5.45)
Gåæ : 57/57/56m
Gåô : 57/57m
Gåö : 56/57/57m
So, we should have expected values respectively of 36.5m, 53m and 54.5m. But there is a small margin for error between the moment i started the countdown and me pushing the stick on the PS3. Overall, the result are import to show one thing. Movement speed is the same no matter if you go straight, back or strafing.
The visual impression strafing being faster than moving forward only comes from field of view imo. You FOV in front of you is bigger compared to what you see on the side. Thus strafing giving that speedy impression.
Now, as for why strafing seems overall faster. After testing if the dual input was still working (using both KBM and DS3 to straf), i realized it's been fixed. And i tend to think the former dual straf speed is now default for any controller type. So yeah CCP didnt change anything, they may just have fixed something and it actually impacted the whole movement pattern.
Whatever it is though, i like it !
Investigation are under ways on that theory. |

So why the hell they don't use the same aiming mechanics as in Chromosome ? remove the acceleration restrictions again. And by the way... i think the problem is Strafe "Acceleration", and not so much the speed.
Aiming is being worked on. Chromosome's data were maybe better but not top grade. So they keep iterating on it. As i said before in other threads, we may see some changes during the summer. |

Depends on the shooter. Afaik MAG didnt have difference between straf and moving forward. Backpedaling maybe was slower though. |

Good addon. Thanks ^^ |
