A question: Do you have trouble turning with that vert? I have serious trouble with mine, though I think it has something to do with the motors I use for the spinner...
Hey Click, does centrifugal/gyroscopic force work on lateral motion in RA2? From my experience it does, but that might be because of my drive.

Yeh, I think coz of the Heavy Disk pulling the body with its swinging weight.
Its best to use Slow Motors for Missive heavy Spinners like mine, so it doesnt capside

Gyroscopic precession does work in RA2.  I'm surprised you didn't figure that out before, with all your giant vertical spinners.

What weight is Evil Streak, and what armor?  If it's LW, then it's not bad.

Well you've got 100 extra kgs... use it to upgrade your armor!

But if you don't click on the armor tab, you've got DSA armor, which weighs a lot less ......

DS aluminum works in DSL too? I thought it didn't because of the diffrent armours, but I'm new to DSL so I was most likely wong. It's probly not stronger tanh 10 or 15mm steel though.
im just waiting for meganerdbomb to come along and kick things into gear.

DS Al is the same in DSL as in stock RA2; it's impossible to edit.  Meaning it has 200 strength.  So you're a lot better off with the DSL-ized 3mm Al, which weighs the same and has 600 strength.

Ah, okay.  Thank you, Click, I haven't messed around with DSL enough to remember that .... mostly been on an all-stock kick lately .....
