And that's just straight I am talking about solely because Infernus has inferior handling, is heavy and slides easily, it's power is the only thing that makes the other things negligible in a straight.
I did mean in a straight line, sorry.
People just prefer to take NRGs because due to obvious reasons:
1.)Fastest
2.)Easy Handling
3.)Front Driveby
4.)Stunt Vehicle
5.)SpaZ Driveby Dmg
I notice that nitro can't be one of those reasons- you're saying that NRGs are basically the best, but that nitro is overpowered?
Btw, please don't assume that this topic is only concerning over a Nitro Spammy Infernus going over a straight.
I know you're talking about all cars, but the thing is, that's the Infernus is the only case where nitro can give you a top speed that is better than any car without it.
A good driver with a brain can easily dodge the rustler by letting the rustler get ahead,driving properly on tightly packed roads with buildings around,take underpasses and what not.
A good pilot can still get him in those situations, and even if the pilot lacks the skill to get him when he's stopped under a bridge, he's vulnerable to people on the ground. If the car is the Presidents, if he can stop and sit around to hide from one plane, then the problem is that no one else is chasing him. In a game where the terrorists are actually chasing him intelligently, he shouldn't really be able to stop to avoid Rustlers. I fly Rustlers and I play President a lot, and my experience has been that the best way to avoid Rustlers and the people behind you is an NRG, becuse it's harder to take down with a Rustler and it can do everything. It's the same if you're any class trying to run away. Few cars are as fast as you are. A car with nitro can't accelerate as fast as you can. It can't go through the weird places that you can. The car is far more vulnerable to Rustlers and Dodo drivebying. I don't see how you could claim that nitro is very overpowered when this has been my experience.
If you're going to bring up that NRGs are not in every map, that is a valid point, but it doesn't make nitro overpowered there either. The maps that don't have NRGs also don't have many places for a car to hide from Rustlers. All it really means is that it's much harder to avoid being blown up by Rustlers, nitro or not.
