Revolution bomber and snac+cd arcs? - Anaximander - 05-29-2013
Heya, I just bought a Revolution Bomber (Coalition) and have been flying around in it, and a few things strike me as odd with that particular ship. I only really flew a Roc before, so that's my benchmark - it might be that Roc is just super good, and not really representative for bombers in general, BUT the Revolution bomber have radically more limited arcs and strange irregularities.
The CD and the Snac slot are placed above one another, dead centre, yet when I click to fire the snac in the topmost left corner of my screen the snac won't fire (I'll just get the cooldown) whereas it will fire np when I click the topmost right corner of my screen (this is when sitting completely still with mouse flight deactivated and allowing plenty of time for the "snac-turret" to turn). In general the Revolution's angles for snac'ing seem far, far more limited than for the Roc, I'll get the cooldown but not actually fire the snac a lot more often when I try to snac a snub in the Revolution as opposed to when I try it in a Roc. Moreover, the CD seems extremely limited in its arcs - for the mine+cd combo, I have to turn the ship completely around before launching the CD, while that isn't the case on neither the Roc nor the VHF's I have flown.
Are these bugs, or is it intentional?
EDIT: Scratch this, I read the Coalition ships are going to get a fix-up in 4.87 so the above isn't relevant.

If they go back to the snub-fighter design from 4.85, I'll fly them. The new Coalition ships suck. People QQ'ing them in multiplayer? Just alter the hitboxes.

This might still be relevant. I'm not sure the extent of which the Revolution will be modified and whether it will fix this or not. (If it is a bug.)

The torpedo hardpoint has the standard 15 dgr positive and negative rotation in 4.87, which should resolve this. @Mr. Hafez, textures will be sorted, but overall model shape will be similar to what they are now. Can't please everybody. I'm sure there's other ships you enjoy to fly.
I'll doublecheck the Roc to make sure that ship doesn't have too wide an arc on the torpedo hardpoint. Could explain why that ship is so popular...

Since the issue you're referring (Which is a general issue on most bombers) is fixed for 4.87 to solve both the arc problem and SNAC getting stuck, I'm gonna drop a lock on this one.
