the L-21 Wolf

[NaffNaffBobFace]

There are some underwhelmed responses to the 230 SCM. It’s a smidge slower than the 325A and a lot slower than the Razor.

As a pilot of a 350r since catch 2.4, I can tell you there are 3 aspects to going fast:

Top Speed
Acceleration
Manuverability and how fast you can change direction and get back up to top speed.

the 350 hasn't had the manuverablity since... maybe 2.8...? But top speed and especially acceleration have stayed.

If the L21 has crazy acceleration and the manuvering to be able to retain that kenetic energy or at least get back up to speed fast without too much drifting, even at 230 it'll be a joy to fly.

DISCLAIMER they might make it 500m/s tomorrow and any grief will have been pointless anyway.

It needs to be faster in SCM/NAV, but I'm not gonna throw the baby out with the bath water.

I'm banking that the mav thrusters can throw this thing around. It is a light fighter, not an interceptor. (I have to keep reminding myself that)

The price point is right where I hoped it would be. I'm going to add one to the stable. We'll see how it works out.

Handling is.. it'll be tuned as the game goes on, it's a light fighter, whatever.

The guns are the make or break, just like the Ares since the player has no means of altering them. And these Gats are well into the OP level. Very high projectile velocity, better alpha, longer range and more than double the total damage of the Revenant. It outclasses anything else size 4 and some bigger guns. While the usefulness of the extended range is questionable with the normal GATS spread, it might work against large targets.

It's a like a GT-220 went gym bro with years of steroid abuse and heavy lifting.

I haven't flown it yet, so don't know how fast or slow they spin up.. that can be an issue too.

Given these stats, likely it'll be nerfed, or another balance pass is coming for weapons.
