They have good acceleration from still to top speed. They do not change directions very quickly. Smaller hovers will challenge that to an extent, but they are also glass cannons, so it seems fair to me.
I am for increased acceleration to most parts. Speed the game up, dont slow things down…
I believe it has something to do with the broken lean mechanic, When a build tilts it will exceed its max speed but wont show on the speedometer. They nerfed speed but they really didn’t.
