Decks in each window are further sorted by their agility.
Table speed is a distance models travel when flying straight (base + arrow length). Because each deck is linked only to one base size,
i used the Table speed instead the Arrow speed to display a real speed on the table.
The green and black fonts are there just to make reading easier.
R* and M* are the old Nexus decks, later upgraded to R and M by Ares.
Breguet 14 can use both H and K decks.
Short dive is exclusive for deck X, and Stall turn for deck L.
Maneuver decks sorted by agility:
DECK
AGILITY POINTS
VARIETY BONUS
TOTAL VALUE
This how the agility is calculated:
Each instance of the following cards adds the points towards the total value of the deck it is in.
90 turn: 6
90 turn ◇: 4
Immelmann: 5
Stall: 3
Wide slip upright: 2
Wide slip upright ◇: 1.3
Wide slip: 3
Wide slip ◇: 2
Slip: 1.5
Slip ◇: 1
Stall turn: 3
Stall turn ◇: 2
60 turn: 3
60 turn ◇: 2
45 turn: 2
45 turn ◇: 1.3
Short dive ◇: 1.5
30 turn: 1
30 turn ◇: 0.6
Assigning points to maneuvers is a tricky task. That's why i made just the top maneuvers stand out, leaving the
rest with relatively low values. The steep maneuvers are at about 2/3 their non-steep variants, simply because you
can plan only two of them in one turn. Maneuvers are very situational, and it is their variety what makes a good deck.
The width of wide slips corresponds with their speed, that's why the faster aircraft (with the arrow speed > 3.5 cm) must have the wide slips across the long side of their maneuver cards.
So while the slower aircraft have tighter turns, the faster ones have more efficient wide slips.
The variety bonus rewards the variety of maneuvers in a deck. The basic maneuvers, which are always included,
are ignored, and so are the steep maneuvers that have their non-steep version in the same deck (Stall is being an exception).
Each maneuver type then adds 1.5 points. Both sides of the two-sided maneuvers are treated as separate cases,
which naturally penalizes asymmetrical decks. The basic turns are awarded the bonus only if there is more than one type
in the deck.
In this section, you can design your own deck, marked as Ω, and send it to both tables for comparison. There are always 3 Straights, 1 Dive and 1 Climb at each deck.
