DouganIn my mind i imagined something similar to surf servers where air accel is higher and allows you to perform tighter strafes
Im not exactly a fan because I feel like it could potentially lower the skill ceiling on soldier in the sense that normally learning to perform well controlled strafes is something that takes a lot of time and practice. Now you can just equip the mantreads to do it more effectively than ever. Of course its impossible to tell without actually seeing it in-game
I'm not too worried about this because in order to do these strafes without practice, you have to use mantreads, giving up both the gunboats and shot gun. While the Mantreads have definitely been improved, there not nearly as good as gunboats or shotty in either in terms of mobility or dpm. And jump/surf servers can always ban them anyways if they need to.
Also the jumps at least in competitive aren't really strafe heavy from a roamer perspective, and if you want to argue that some are, 200% increase in strafe is not going to help a someone instantly nail these jumps. Most use I see is being able to maybe land more precise bombs maybe.
