Afterburners make running away too easy.

Afterburners make running away too easy.

Why? Because they use energy.
If a plane is afterburning away from you and you want to chase it you have to use your afterburners too, but then you have no energy to fire your weapons.

You cant chase planes unless they are slower than you.
Have you noticed the only planes that can chase effectively are loopys?

Solutions (in order of preference):
-instead of using energy aterburners make you overheat and lose HP if you abuse them.
-afterburners use health instead of energy.
-afterburners have a separate energy bar.
-more?

i think they are okay as they are now.

but another solution would be that they're less effective on 0 energy.

Running away is perfectly fine.

It comes down to this:

1. They're better players than you and by running away they're doing you a favor by not killing you (since you can't shoot as Blank pointed out.)

2. They're poor players. Usually you can make them panic crash just by chasing them, so what's the problem?

Disclaimer: I can't shoot either.

^^^^ True

Also, it's a good thing Loopy can chase anybody down, because that's his (nearly only) advantage.
