MH Engine Rebalances for 1.6
Let's have a look and argue like nerds over this, shall we? I got the pre-1.6 stats from here. I read elsewhere that some have been moved around in the tech tree.
Wolfhound
Cost: from 1,680 to 3,000 +1,320
Mass: from 2.5t to 3.3t +0.8t
ISP: from 70asl/412vac to 70asl/380vac -32vac
Thrust: from 63asl/375vac to 69asl/375vac +7asl
Cheetah
Cost: from 1,000 to 850 -150
Mass: Unchanged
ISP: from 150asl/345vac to 150asl/355vac +10vac
My quick thoughts on the new engines -- kind of a follow-up to my old MH Engine Round-Up linked below:
Cub: After nerfs to thrust and vacuum ISP, the Cub is drawing closer to the Spark in performance, but is still generally a better option as long as you need the extra thrust. The main disadvantage continues to be that the Cub only gimbals in one direction, so you really need at least four of them for effective attitude control. I feel like radial engines are only used situationally anyw
