So now players that have been saving to buy that next plane are forced to wait because they now have to purchase a speed upgrade because of an update that slowed it down in the first place?
Well, first let's clarify something: The speed was never slower, it was never slowed down. I explained this already a couple dozen times. It's just a sensation because the things are bigger. The wheels, engine and everything rotate in fact at the same speed as always. Actually, i'm wrong with tanks. Tanks are way FASTER now than before, because since the wheels are bigger but the rotation speed is the same, it moves more distance, I would say that they are around 50% faster than before the size increase.
So I hope that MYTH about speed is already done and set, because it is getting boring to explain it every single week. Just think of driving a toy remote controller car, probably going to 10km/h or less, it feels speedy moving around your living room. Make that car your car, move it at 10km/h, same speed but it feels you are turtle. It is physics!
Now that we know that the speed of tanks is FASTER than previously, but since the object is larger it feels it is moving slower... my intention was to do nothing about it. WWI tanks are by definition slow. They ran at the speed of a person walking next to it. Just search for a FT17 tank video on youtube and see how the guy is walking slowly next to it when it is at full speed.
But many just keep complaining about how slow they are (well, yeah, welcome to WWI, and the current tank is about 5 times faster than they should!) so I decided to give it an extra speed bar. You never had that speed before. The price of anything related to the tank is so ridiculous that you can buy the 4 speed bars for the price of the first airplane. I doubt anyone would be limited on their airplane purchases because of the extra bar, and as I said, you never had that extra speed before.
