It kind'a struck me tonight while doing the "dead man ride along" during a match how few folks actually use their throttle to their advantage. It's either "full on" or "off" for so many and they are missing the advantages inherent with using it, namely controlling ones turn radius and enhancing their aim.
Part of the problem stems from the fact that PGI apparently glossed right over the fact that for most vehicles particularly military ones, their speed is discussed in "max speed" and "cruising speed". One being the maximum speed theoretically attainable and the other essentially being the "ideal", be it for comfort, economy or stability/performance.
IMHO... PGI is missing the boat on performance envelopes.
PGI addresses this only with the turn-radius envelope, i.e... speed translates linearly with turn-radius and acceleration/deceleration. The reality is it should also directly effect heat, stability and weapon accuracy.
Don't even get me started on what the walking cadence of a 100-ton mech would be and how that would affect the stability of it as a weapon platform... But I digress.
Summary: Folks... You have a graduated throttle for a reason. Try using for maximum manoeuvrability.
This has been todays PSA.
