Generally audience prefers rx8 over the other two so if you prefer one over another its your own view

Personally for me I have no problem battle with fd despite on the my recent drop, never liked rx8 and never done mx5 although i have seen videos of a famous person in hong kong from certain top team whooping ass in battles and ta on a full stock mx5 so.....

You missed it...it was a limited edition title that can only be obtained from December last year till January this year by completing the Tokyo Metropolitan TA...

Ain't sure if its coming back though for this year though...

okay guys does MS6 has a crazy boost in WMMT4?

since WMMT3DX/DX+ that car can also bust some Evo8/9, just curious on how it can stand in WMMT4's logic fear2.gif

i'm pretty sure FD3S has crazier boost, i'm still skeptical on the MS6's boost logic

I'm gonna agree with the FD's crazy boost, because of one race that forced that to kick in with my FD.

You guys are right, fd has higher boost than average cars
But it isnt going to be overpowered because it is still balanced in the game

if you are on last place you might get the higher boost priority right while the top place gets slight accel boost?

seems WMMT4 boost is quite weird tho

Maximum tune boost fomula system has always been speculation and no official wording has ever been disclosed
All we have so far is just guess work based on actual gameplay which have been quite contradicting

All cars in mt4 are actually quite balanced against each other, if you have a ta car naturally it wont do well against battle cars and vice versa, certain cars like the cursed e6 still retains that imba boost.

Hey! laugh.gif Noob here! Started playing MT4 just 2 months ago with an RX-7 FD3S as my first car. FT'd it after a month and i have had no problems with it... except until about a week ago when i was started being challenged by rank A and up (even SSS) players from overseas running Evo's and GTR's. blink.gif I find it really hard to keep up especially on the straights (particularly Wangan and Osaka). Even with a setting about a level higher than the rival car (with minimum sliding/drifting while changing lanes and a smooth racing line on curves), i still couldn't keep up on the straights. Is this an inherent trait of the FD in the game? Some local players are telling me to give the RX-8 a go (because of the better accel-- and cause it's "6-gears"?!) but i really want to find a way to be faster without the need to burn the other car (coz I was the one ending up being extra crispy as hell! crying2.gif ). Is this even remotely possible? Thanks guys! wink2.gif

It is possible, you just need the right setup for it.

For good measure, here's my FD.

You just have to get used to the FD thumbsup.gif
What it lacks in straights, it makes up for it through turns.
And higher HP isn't always better, think of what HP setting best suits the course instead of out powering your opponents.

And don't worry about other people's rank. It's just a way of showing just how much they've invested in this game using that particular car.

RX-8 is slower than RX-7 FD on the straights. If you're looking for a faster RX-7, that would be the FC3S model. Number of gears mean nothing.

I'm actually in the process of deciding whether to try and get an FC3S just for the fact that it might be faster on the straights. Still not sure 'coz I haven't driven an FT'd FC. But wouldn't it get "bashed around" during battles 'coz of it being on the lighter-side on the weight dept? And yes! I agree on the "gearings" not playing much of a factor. wink2.gif

The thing i love about the FD is that I feel like i can STILL drive properly even though the setting is in "Drift" or "Dangerous" (at least that's what i think).. Just a matter of modifying timing of gearshifts, entry speed and angle (on curves) when in a higher HP set-up. And i do agree that it can really eat up some cars in the corners, but MAN... In the straights, i just can't seem to keep up. Hmmmm.. but I'm still quite new and there are a lot of techniques i have still yet to learn, so i guess... Practice pa! Hehe. Thanks ya'll. Appreciate it! grin2.gif

One thing that might help you is that you adopt the mindset of "One last swipe/credit". It means, regardless if you're doing TA or battle you're pushing yourself to do better than the last time using one just credit. It has the effect of hastening your learning.

Worked for others so why not?

@Gregg

If you'd like to go non-bandwagon (i.e. not using common models like the RX-8...RX-7 FD...the Evos 8 and 9...and some)...I'd suggest you this:
Mazda 110S (one of the newly included cars in the 3rd Asia Update last June)

Performance-wise almost as good as the RX-7 FD...surprisingly handy for battles as well despite its small-ish structure

Is it? Don't see many using the 110S around where I'm at...they're still mainly the vanilla bandwagons i.e. the Evo 8 and 9...RX-8...Skyline R32 and R34...and some huh.gif

I've actually been doing this for the past 2 weeks now. Last month, i got so hooked that I spend about P1.5k (25 games) on one seating. Haha! It really burned a hole in my pocket! So now I try to limit it at around 10 games at most (5=story, 3=online/japcha, 2=crown attempt).. and usually on the last 2 games, I really try my damnest to get a clean (if not a better) run. It really focuses you once you knew you're on your last game. PLUS, it's so fulfilling when you win! happy.gif

Nice! For me, I'd like to keep it simple. Going for an RE-look: Teal Blue, Aero A, Carbon Scoot Hood, Carbon (APR-ish) Spoiler with bronze CE28's. Still wasn't able to take a photo of it so, yeah. I guess you get the picture. cool.gif
