I had the opportunity to dogfight PvP a couple times in the new Vulture in Odia and Sedina; I was very aware of the extra volume on the lower fuselage, and the weapons felt like they may be slightly lower and closer together. Otherwise, it handled about like the regular Vulture.

Yeah, in comparison with the Vult MkIV, it seems to have noticeably more momentum when turning. Strafing seemed the same, probably because it's the same mass.

Moving the weapon ports closer to the wings might help counteract that some, especially with heavier guns like Gauss.

I'd really like some cohesive feedback on the new vulture, but that'd be better suited to a specific Suggestions post.

Tweaking rotational inertia is easy, that's a value change. Moving the ports is a bit more of a pain.. an actual asset-change.

Does the new vulture have the same distance between the two weapon ports? it seemed like it had less but then i tested an old vulture and it looked roughly the same.

I think there is a slight combat advantage is having them set further apart for flares but for energy im not sure it makes a huge lot of difference.

Other than that what feedback can we possibly give you on stats? it behaves roughly the same as a Mark IV. Did you want feedback on the Mark IV specifically? It could use a slight buff due to it being on balance inferior to the mark III. Aside from that it should be good to roll out.

Nope

I'm not asking for feedback on stats. I was asking for feedback on differences. Distribution of mass, shape, hit area, turning rate, weapon locations. You know, things that are different between the standard MkIV and the new-vulture MkIV.

But hey, if there isn't sufficient interest to generate a Suggestion thread on it, then it must be ok, and I'll just replace all the vultures with it as-is. That's certainly the easiest for me.
