more ships with wrong loadout

Post by Fireskull »

Here we go, I hope this will be of help :)

Darket:

Current top speed: 400 It should be: 520

Current afterburn speed: 1000 it should be: 1350

Dralthi3 ( better know as Dralthi IV )

Current top speed: 550 It should be: 430

Current afterburn speed: 1400 It should be: 1100

Also, its yaw/pitch/roll things are wrong. The Wc3 manual, and other websites I checked, mention the ship is just as maneurable as a hellcat, with a few slight differences.

Hellcat Y/P/R = 60/60/60

Dralthi Y/P/R = 55/65/55

I dont know if those are the numbers we have IG right now, and they dont even need to be. This just means the Dralthi should turn left and right slightly faster than a hellcat, while being slightly slower at other movements. Right now the ship turns around VERY slowly in game, more like a heavy fighter, while its a medium fighter.


Strakha ( this one is completely wrong in game )

There are two strakas in wing commaner. The one from WC2 is a stealth bomber. It also has very poor dogfighting capabilities with only 2 lasers. The one from wc3 is a dogfighter, with no capship attack capabilities.

What we are doing right now is using a mix between wc2 and wc3 straka while using the wc3 mesh. In the end, its a fragile fighter, with mediocre aceleration,no fighting capabilites whatsoever and the wrong mesh :P I will give below the stats so its fixed to be a WC3 straka, since thats the mesh we have.

Top speed: 424 What it should be: 480

Afterburn: 900 What it should be: 1200

Weapons

What we have: 2 lasers

It should have: 2 lasers and 2 meson guns. I belive the meson guns go in the big box next to the cockpit.

Acceleration: I dont know what we have right now, I only know my galaxy has better aceleration than a straka does. It should be just as good as an Arrow ( the ship, not an actual arrow :P )

Ah, by the way.. the textures for the ship look a bit damaged too.

I will do more bug hunting tonight, cyas.

You should either make a single thread and get it made sticky or start putting these into the wiki page. All these different threads may get lost.

The wiki is possibly the best bet (easier to keep track of).
