Movie Dogfights
Am I the only one who thinks the ship speed is super slow? I really want a mode closer to how it is in the movies. Double the speed, double the agility, half the health, and no respawn timer. I don't...
I initially thought that as well then I rewatched A New Hope a few days ago. In open space, the TIE fighters attacking the Falcon didn't seem to be flying that fast. Nearer to the Death Star and in the trench scene all the fighters appeared faster. I guess it's perspective.
Yeah but no one goes to a new hope as the reference for space battles. Look at any other time you see any ship flying in star wars, it's fast from any perspective. Even in the trench run, like you said, it's pretty fast.
Those starships while dogfighting in the movies don't even appear to fly as fast as modern fighter jets. I have made note of this a few times when watching the movies. In fact it's actually pretty obvious.
they didnt look fast because they were chasing a ship in high speed. same goes for cars if you ignore the background and only look at the cars passing each other at different speeds
