Ok I don't want to say the dull word but there is Hurri's and Hurri. I hve experienced some fight with some of my opponents hving strange behaviors. I think your expe is more related to that.
Pls next time you see me flying a Hurri on the server let's hve a try and see if it's the same (I won't shoot.... at least I 'll try hard
)
I can guarantee you that if you pull over to catch some speed and then fly level, automatically you'll extend easily from a hurri that is in your back. The distance increasing as soon you push that noes down (loss of power for the Merlin eng)
