Movement in Legions

While I'm sure a lot of people want T1 physics, I am wondering what specific things about Legion's movement you guys don't like or if you have some suggestions on how to improve it (other than to use T1/T2c physics).

A couple of things I don't like...
- Feels like carrying weights when you fly up-hill. Just feels a little more horizontal than I'd like.
- Movement up-close is really jerky. Doesn't feel like you can lead your shots because people can move too sporratically in the air.
- Don't like how energy recharges so fast on the ground. Kinda decreases the amount of time people have to rest on the ground before you fly off again. Then off again with trying to shoot flies.

Vertical flight is actually pretty quick... though if you're hugging the ground going up hills can be problematic. What I'd like to see is an increased energy burn for traveling up hills for a lesser reduction in speed.

I think that they said somewhere that they're looking on improving the jerkiness. We can only hope.

The quick recharge time is actually one of the things I like. Keeps the combat moving. One thing to remember is that it only works when jets are deactivated, leaving recharging players incredibly vulnerable to attack in a firefight. One of things I hated about T1/T2 was how slowly energy recharged if you were a heavy just standing around-- 10 seconds of sitting around doing nothing isn't much fun.

I like the movement as is. try letting off the W key when going up hills and use the space bar only and or alternate. you need to have some speed first, but it works pretty well imo.

I agree ^^ the new movement tweaks they have up on the test build are phenomenal.
