h0B0 is working on getting some numbers up.
In the meantime, here's a video demonstrating just how fast the Raider can go.

 I am anticipating many newbies on the forums talking about speed hacking, though.

So basically they both get (slightly) faster

I dont see any point in bringing scouts anymore, especially since the EOC is getting alarmingly more powerful with every patch and since you can also use the Raider for Silo D in place of a Brawler (240 damage rocket shotgun+EOC burst)

Mirv fixed range cap anyone? (<90m)
Also added weapon damage in the spreadsheet found here https://docs.google....lrQjM5Tmc#gid=0 Remember to scroll to the right.
Some thoughts after the first session of tests:
- EOC now has mine laying ability that actually work.
- Shield got an inderect buff due to feathering.
- Still seeing some changes where there shouldnt be.

I disagree. I would argue that being able to refill your fuel guage is still very strong, and though a raider could catch a scout, it would have to secure the kill in chase. Failing to do so means you are left with little fuel, so a duel at the end of said chase has the raiden at a disadvantage. So you CAN chase and outrun a scout, but given variable circumstance, its not always in your best interest to do so. I can see Raider pilots being greedy, and charging after a target just cuz they can, only to find that it was bait, at which point they have no fuel to escape the ambush.
EOC is insane, but I welcome it. B classes needed the burst damage class, and I would say that the EOC, though formidable, doesn't necessarily give you THE edge over, say an EOC Inf.

Is it only faster during force-fed-boosts? Does it otherwise fall in line with other b-classes?
Makes me wish the cockpit had a speedometer... and a boost gauge

It's normally the same speed at all Bs. But Blitz allows you to easily overtake an A.
Also that boost pretty much lasts for all your fuel.

There actually is a speedometer on your hud! Normal boost speed for an unlevelled Raider is 28.5 units (I think they are KPH...), and with the boost active it rises to 44 units. Walk speed is... ~18? That walk and boost will be consistent across B classes.

YES! So the EOC is finally working as intended. I already try to shoot it along the ground and walls as timed mines anyway, and I've gotten a number of lucky kills that way. But if it's working properly as proximity mines, then ALL FEAR THE EOC ROCKETEER!
Also, any word on how the new Hellfires are faring? Still stuck at work for a couple more hours...
