| Actual Result: |
I've talked about this problem multiple times on old forums, but I've never get a good response. After 5 years I still do not know if it's intentional or not.
|
| Expected Result: |
Acceleration should be reverted to constant 0.6 seconds as it was fresh after Bubba's Rework. It would make him a little bit better and would eliminate hidden penalties on his Addons.

| Severity: |

Always

Steam

| Additional Notes & Comments: |
I will upload the screenshots of current acceleration (60% of charge) and old correct acceleration (0.6s constant)

Explanation
Leatherface reaches his maximum Chainsaw Sweep to slow since 5 years. To make it clear - I do not know if Developers made it intentionally or not, but I want to report this issue. When Bubba's Rework came out (Patch 4.1.0) he could reach maximum movement speed after constant 0.6 seconds. I have two arguments that confirm my statement. First - between Patches 4.1.0 - 4.3.0 his Add-On Carburetor Tunning Guide was working correct, because the acceleration code was simple - you reach maximum speed after 0.6 seconds always - when the Patch 4.4.0 came out (Twins DLC) his acceleration code got changed and stayed unchanged for now - he reaches max movement speed after 60% of the first Charge duration - so if the charge lasts 2.5 seconds - he reaches max speed after 1.5 seconds (2.5 * 60%). So - when DLC with Twins came out there was a bug with Carburetor Tuning Guide, because this Add-On wasn't ready to work as intended due to new acceleration code. Because this Add-On changed 3 Tokens into 1 big Token acceleration was working really bad. Instead of 1.5 seconds Bubba could reach maximum speed after 4.5 seconds, because acceleration code sees it as a one big Chainsaw Charge so it was like that : 60% * 7.5 seconds = 4.5 seconds. That was my first argument. Second one - no matter what addons you were using the acceleration was the same, but when the new acceleration got released suddenly double chili & carburetor tunning guide became much much weaker. Because Chili increase duration of the Chainsaw Sweep - longer token = longer acceleration. I want to point one thing out - there was no a single patch note about a potential Leatherface nerf - i checked it multiple times back in the days and I couldn't find anything about potential Bubba nerf. I really would like to know if it's intended or is it bugged and shouldn't work like that. This code is really bad, because you can make your acceleration much much worse when equiping addons that modify your Chainsaw Sweep duration - for example - Carburetor Tuning Guide got fixed, but it still applies a heavy penalty, because it increases your acceleration time from 1.5 seconds to 1.8 seconds (so 20% longer). I wont upload steps to reproduce, because its imposible - but we can compare Bubba's speed when watching old videos.
