  • The Merc has been given its very own hitbox. This video tells you everything you need to know about the differences in size and handling. For further information on the turning statistics I'm collecting, check out this video: • The best turning cars ... (The Plank preset is now identical to the Batmobile preset)

    I used only merc/battle-bus on the first 2 weeks since F2P came out, and I really like it. It's really easy to control the ball on the floor, and you can get used to flick with it.
    Then I bought the rocket pass and wanted to use harbinger, so I got used to octane hitbox again and is hard to go back. I hope they release some other merc hitbox car anytime soon

    2 month player here, god why does my brain hated the octane after training with it for long hours . Literally my brain really despised it, I could still do high mechanical skills like double resets, ceilings, double taps but I cant just stand it and affects me mentally tilting me randomly in situations.
    The Dominus, Merc, Sentinel, Diestro, nimbus are my go to loadout since im f2p and really I win almost about 65% of my games switching between d3-c3 accounts for the cars. When I noticed you say car spins in the same way baffled me since I really rotate faster with dominus, diestro, and merc but now I know it's placebo.

    Is it in my head that the Merc has ridiculously bouncy suspension? (visually) I feel like it doesn't affect physics interactions but the way it moves is super distracting. Any time you land or turn it bounces around both far and for a long time. I want to try the Merc preset for the height but this makes Merc unviable for me, and Battle Bus is out for other reasons.
