Simple question, difficult to explain.

If I fire a TOW, for example, during a side dash will its trajectory be perfectly perpendicular to the dash, or will it be slightly diagonal in the direction of the dash like you would expect in a Newtonian system?
On second thought let's not go to #hawkenscrim. Tis a silly place.
Watch me pretend to be good at Hawken (Twitch).

Your TOW will fly to where your crosshair was when you pressed the fire button.

No, the momentum in this game is not that complex. If you fire a rocket, it will fly straight from where you shot it. No other momentum is added to it from the movement of your mech.
