Moonshine vs Kerosene
MerkQT:
Thanks Sunderland, I assume this also means that getting rammed with moonshine active also causes little movement? (Just want to confirm)
At the moment Calico we are using the Mercury guns to attempt to break hull amour before our ram. Both myself and the Gungineer will have two buffed guns and we will unload the first clip. We then report to our pilot as we are reloading and he activates Kerosene to ram (All engines are usually buffed at this time). After this we usually only have precious few moments to unload another clip before impact. at the moment it's not destroying a target upon contact, but the sustained fire (if possible) will drop the enemy after a few more hits.
It probably will be a good idea for us to go and practice on dummies as you suggested, because I feel at the moment with the increase Moonshine will give us that we can't unload another round. We will need to work on our timings.
Another quick question; Does angle of altitude play any part in damage, or is it only forward speed?
MerkQT:
Just out of curiosity Calico, What buffs do you use as a pilot?
Captain Smollett:
It's actually the relative velocity as far as I can tell that effects impact damage along with the relative weights of the ships.
So a head on collision, with both ships going full speed into each other does more damage and a Pyra (second heaviest ship) ramming into a Squid (lightest ship) will always result in way more damage to the squid.
Angle of attack doesn't matter but point of impact does. If you hit the balloon with your ram, like you frequently will against a Junker, the balloon will take damage not the hull. If you hit a gun with the ram, you'll actually break the enemy gun. Relative angle of attack does matter though in determining the orientation the ships will have after the ram.
MerkQT:
Gotcha, Thanks Smollett.
