In the last iteration of this game I never used air compressor with raider, brawler, grenadier or mechs without air dynamic tuning pts.  I have a feeling an air dodging brawler, raider or heat grenadier would be scary.

With no fuel cost to dodge will we have the excess fuel to fly around in things like brawler or raider_
Anyone know the new flight characteristics for each mech_

Will try this weekend in any case.

Eh, mechs melt so quickly under sustained fire now that I feel it wouldn't really be a problem. Air combat is still a pretty risky choice, even moreso with the latest update.

Well you consume fuel if you dodge in midair. Dream destroyed.

You should try an air dodging Predator... bloody hilarious because no one expects it

I feel the opposite. Maybe that's because i'm playing Vulcan Brawler and people fly away out of my reach too fast, i don't know..

No but in all seriousness, i think it can be used tactically even on a brawler. I see no issues with this, especially if you have trouble hitting targets in the air. You can use AC to even that playing field.

Not very much, and this is a really good thing.  Otherwise hovering would be nearly infinite.

I've never used air compressor prior to this patch, and now I use it on all of my mechs.
