Oh shit! Never thought to try this! I do that to save myself from super high jumps. You gotta press E at just the right time.

If you time it just right you can catch it.

Re: old tricks
Less likely for them to be able to duck and miss, also helps if the terrain is slightly hilly where you may fly over them. It has to be in a sweet spot though because if it's too hilly then the manta will just get caught and slow down. Yeah throwing a manta is fun too. Even if you miss, I think it c...

Re: old tricks
When cruising around in a manta and considering running over infantry, press the alt fire (smash) long before you get to them. If the ground is flat you won't lose any speed, and they'll be far less likely to hear you coming.

Re: Misc Map Changes Thread..for little glitches and annoyances...
I think reducing damage/healing would be better than increasing the interval between smashes. I use that feature all the time as a way to navigate the thing. It'd be weird to have that altered.

Re: Hospitaler 3.0
Awesome. This is definitely one vehicle that players on the forum will benefit from, since there's quite a bit of capability built in, and might not be obvious.. in fact most don't even know seats 7/8 have twin beams! Those beams are my secret weapon on MassD. Been called a hacker many-a-times by J...

Re: Shield Tank with link...
The recharge time on some of those is pretty frustrating. So many ways you can toy with that. My first thought was that it could easily get OP since the shield could basically act like a wall. But that could also be pretty fun if the shield was 1/3 size of a normal one. Except it would me more of a...

Re: Torlan-LinkerMadness
There's that flying lamprey that hasn't been used on any map yet. Also I was thinking of using some other torlan as the base. This one looked interesting, but there are other options (the dust clouds are animated). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOv9QRHjdMs&t=336s (is that a UT3 Paladin? might...

Re: Torlan-LinkerMadness
Crazy idea... but how about a stock raptor to counter the Omega? It does have homing missiles after all.

Re: Torlan-LinkerMadness
I believe the Omega was added to this map by association anyway... Like this map was literally just a way to test the new link tanks and the Omega was thrown in because we happened to be nerfing it at the time.
