@Cheese9Manhonestly I still don't get the mechanics of the jump in the game.
Ok dolphin dive gave me an opportunity to drop very far, almost 2x as far as I did before realizing this mechanic.
Yet the thing about how people who drop first but say 1000m from the spot beat me to the point when I instead drop straight down / max speed from the ship with lesser distance to the point is still a mystery same as crazy last moment acceleration (when you are almost dead stop, but suddenly manage to cover a major distance in the point of interest e.g. diving closer to Gaiser but managing to go all the way to the tunnels from an almost dead stop, which actually is not possible from taking the actual Gaiser jump when in game), bouncing and sliding on the map...
If someone can explain that I would be very grateful 🙂 as I don't get it after 1500h in the game.
@Eshshshss It totally depends on how the ship is traveling. Plus you don't want to drop where you are max speed. 450m seems to be the sweet spot and you'll notice you aren't totally max. You are close but it seems that the little time it takes the ship to travel further to get you to max is not worth it.
