I've never really noticed this until this guy made a video about it, Skywatches thoughts and opinions?

Wait I thought this was common knowledge? I don't use it often, but it's useful when you make a pass that makes you too low on the ground, It's useless for me in dogfights so I never use it then.

I thought this was common knowledge as well... I mean, for anyone over BR 30 or something
I have it bound, but never use it... mossies don't perform as well as reavers do at 0 speed so it's kinda useless to use, same goes for liberators.

That is pretty close to how I pictured you guys.

I normally have the analog throttle bound to my analog throttle. I changed that to test this a little. It appears to take the same amount of time to stop when I cut throttle as it does holding down the throttle down button.
Am I missing something here?

Am I missing something here? thats a good point on how the throttle key is effective, maybe with the air dog fighting its better not to have to hold down the s key or whatever slows down the plane? |

I did check only the time from full speed to minimum. Could be that the throttle cut has more of an impact during other maneuvers.
I was starting to look for a stopwatch and then decided to just play the game.

it's the same slow down speed or really close.

The analog throttle key is used when performing a reverse maneuver to reduce error chance, since it holds it at zero, there's a lower chance of the ESF switching back into flight mode from hover mode than manually throttling to zero.
In effect it shortens the transition time by about a quarter of a second, meaning you don't have to do a wobble in a instant transition to ensure hover-mode.

In effect it shortens the transition time by about a quarter of a second, meaning you don't have to do a wobble in a instant transition to ensure hover-mode. But there are times where I start to begin the maneuver and then I see that I opened myself to a couple rotary rounds and I have to go back into foward flight so I can get behind cover to auto repair, or such. With an analogue key the slowdown effect can not be stopped until you reach 0. I use Hover so I can easily have my thrusters down for the maneuver in about half a second. |

what's 'hover mode'

Thrusters become vertical while holding S and space. |
