If thats the case, would those 13Hu even make that much of a difference?
The difference in radius put into more understandable numbers is 9.75 inches (1 unit == .75 inches). And to top that off it's in all 3 dimensions, twice (because radius).
I can't say exactly how many units a person should be over the actual sticky but I would guess based off the size of the average hit marker and videos with 0 interp it's around 100-120 units (6.25 - 7.5 feet). That is from the sticky's center to whatever part of the hitbox is normally affected, which I think is the feet.
Also from what I understand the scaling is relatively the same so with the old 159 would be the bare minimum and 146 would be a somewhat larger but for the most part useless amount.
But now to get the same ratio where 146 is basically nothing you would need 134
.062893082 and that would be as useless as the old 146.
With more useful numbers
159 -> 120 ---- 100
146 -> 110.1 -- 91.8
That ends up being 9.9 and 7.2 units (~7.5 - 6 inches) closer you need to be to the sticky.
Keep in mind this is assuming a linear decrease in propulsion going away from the origin.
All that is well and good and seems not too drastic, until you think about volume change.
With the old 159 radius there was a volume of 4110.7 cubic feet.
The new 146 radius' volume is 3182.6 cubic feet.
22.5% decrease in volume with only an 8.17% decrease in radius.And all that was done looking at the entire sphere and not just the 16.67% of that sphere that's actually usable in an airpogo.
(I'm defining the usable area as 1/6th of a sphere because you need both vertical and horizontal speed, with one never over bearing the other. If you can imagine a cube, it's the top face I'm considering usable)
The ratio is the same 22.5% decrease, but it does show how hard it was to start out.
To go back to normal airpogo you would need to improve your aim by 7-10 units directly up.
And if you've ever fired a sticky in the air you should understand the issues that causes.
Stickies travel in a parabola.
You have to aim higher, which means the sticky will be farther behind you, and the harder it is to hit that 16.67% of a sphere with a 22.5% smaller volume.Now you could charge the stickies to make up for that. Except for the fact that it's pretty much impossible (especially uncrouch).
So does 13 units make a difference?
Mathematically? Yes.
In practice? I can't say, but going off Lambda and Tx_ I'll say yes.
