Same guy who did the Jugg RD Bridge video where I aptly posted:
T:A physics :psyduck:
Still relevant. Please, HiRez - do something about this.
Before the patch:
If you are aiming horizontally or higher, you get a thrust in the direction you are facing (not moving in), and the thrust power depends only on your current speed.
If you start aiming towards your feet, the thrust pack diminishes down to 0 effectiveness.
After the patch:
If you are pointing horizontally and up, you get a thrust in the direction you are facing, and the thrust power now depends on both your direction of motion and your speed. Thrust operates as before when aiming under 90 degrees away from the direction of motion. However, once you go past 90 degrees, the thrust pack suddenly gives full impulse again. This can be used for juking: if you are skiing fast, you can turn 91 degrees to the left or right and hit thrust, and you'll gain full impulse.
Still, if you start aiming towards your feet, the thrust pack diminishes down to 0 effectiveness.
OOOH I get it now
