- Turn speed: 10
- Turn accel: 9 (from 7.45)
- Mass: 250t (from 500t)

- Moved helm forward to railing to increase view.
- Added armor to front blade of balloon to avoid 'free' balloon rams.
- Moved light engines forward to match mounts.
- This is an attempt to get as wide a spread between turning and forward acceleration, with turning acceleration being higher, while keeping around 34% of the total engine force on the light engines. Previous Corsair had 0.5% thrust on light engines.

- These are the same changes previously made to Crazy King capture points.
Desert Scrap -

- Capture point radius to 180 (from 150). Area has to be a little smaller than the other KotH maps to keep it inside the wreck.
