Momentum Flag

The Momentum (M) flag causes a tank to have difficulties slowing down, speeding up, or turning, which may ruin timing on jumps, make turns less predictable, and increase difficulties in dodging shots.

Tactics

Momentum requires the ability to plan movements ahead of time to countering its effects. The increased inertia of one's tank requires one to react much earlier, as the acceleration rates are slowed down. This may cause one to feel as if the controls are acting sluggish. The _momentumFriction variable may be differently set from the _friction setting, so one should be aware that friction may be different as well.
