despite Aformentioned Complications™ in trying to download the mod on release day, i finally had the time to try out the new environment (for an hour or so) on the evo server after the A08 event ended several people have raised concerns that the car's gravity is too low, akin to the floatiness of TM2 cars, and honestly i disagree - obviously idk what the exact numbers are, but it feels just as heavy (if not slightly heavier) than coast car, i personally think it suits the vehicle quite well in that regard similarly, several people have raised concerns about the car being too small ie. the blocks being too wide, which i also have to disagree on - given how fast-paced the environment is, anything narrower than the current blocksize would honestly be a pain to drive in terms of the general gameplay: as other people have mentioned, it's a mix of bay's acceleration/"stering" combined with island's speed/vibe, while also (most importantly, imo) being very keyboard friendly to drive, about as much as bay, if not slightly more - i assume pad players will still prevail in the end, due to the nature of united cars sliding at much lower speeds than stadium, but that's exactly the kind of thing that i think makes united cars much more fun than the TMNF tank which brings me to my next point, sliding: i haven't quite figured out the nitty-gritty as to when sliding is more preferrable than full-grip (and for how long), but that's precisely what gives it a high skill ceiling, and it's honestly by far the most fun aspect of the car - it *almost* gives off canyon vibes, but they're different enough that i wouldn't quite group them together the car & blocks look great and the maps are quite well designed so far - a fantastic presentation overall, it feels like an official nadeo DLC for TMUF and it truly broke my expectations thanks for coming to my bulb talk/very epic very late highlands review ok goodnight (obligatory bulbmobile skin to match the rest of my TMUF and TM2 cars)
