The direct damage removal was an intended change, but it looks like some of the fields on the Harasser version were missed.

Me too. I remember watching the one episode where Airwolf got shot down and I was devastated.

The flight model is working as intended. Yes it is different, yes it is slow, yes there is no leaving hover mode. But this doesn't mean it is the final flight model or speed, so please give feedback. It is intended to feel more helicopter like and make more use of the vertical thruster compared to other aircraft.

Resistance to small arms was set incorrectly. That is fixed internally. I think that was the only egregiously incorrect resist. So if the feeling is it is too weak in against other weapons, then provide feedback about those weapon types specifically.

Edit: Clarification.

We've made some adjustments based on that feedback but it has mostly influenced our long term goals with the Valkyrie. The main thing is we really want to give it an awesome and unique mechanic beyond some new guns and rumble seats. Unfortunately something like that wouldn't make it in time for our targeted launch.

A lot of that feedback was also the same as some of the ideas we had planned for a Galaxy update. It might make sense to give the Valkyrie something unique and then give the Galaxy something else to further differentiate the two aircraft. When the Valkyrie is live and in the hands of players for awhile, we might have a better idea and more feedback on what those should be.

Vulcan (as well as some other tank balance concerns) is something we've been discussing, but we don't have any details on what might change to share yet.
