Declined Recheck parameters for OverDrive

[u812ic 1,629]

The WIKI says that players within 2-4 hull lengths of another will share the OverDrive. What hull lengths are they talking about? Not all hulls are the same length. I've tried to share the OverDrive with players within a hulls width and they didn't get the effects. A hulls width is certainly less than 2 hull lengths of any hull. The same has happened to players trying to share their OverDrive with me. 

 

It also seems that the dome of an OverDrive is slightly wider when sharing with a group that has gathered together than it is when using it on yourself without a group. So all is not equal. I think this needs to be rechecked for accuracy.

The wiki has a nice demonstration image for the distance of Overdrive's effect:

 

 

You can use that for reference, since unfortunately developers didn't give any exact values, so "two hull lengths" is the only info we have. As for it appearing to be much less than that - that's most likely caused by lag. Depending on factors such as ping, some tanks may appear to be in a different location than they actually are. So if a tank is driving away from you and looks like it's 1 hull length away, chances are that it's actually much further ahead in reality.

every time I see this I swear it says "Redneck parameters" xD

1 tank length = 2 horse length xD
