Re: New Players Guide To Understanding Apex
@Eshshshss I typically maintain 140+ mph while doing dolphin dive. I see your example scenario in my own lobbies all the time, but it makes sense.
Say the dropship flies over at an elevation of 1,000m. The team that dropped earlier than you, they are already at a lower elevation (lets say 300m) before you even exit the dropship. While you are flying at a faster rate of speed (different angle of attack), it is not enough to offset the difference in elevation (700m in this example). When you exit the ship at that point, you still have to drop the full 1,000m but they only have to cover the final 300m of their dive. Basically, they get lower, faster, and you cant drop at a fast enough rate of speed to overcome it.
