I review the Mirai Fury flight handling and how it could be improved.

The Mirai Fury is my new favourite ship in terms of aesthetics. Its gimballed thrusters promise a lot but I find it to lack in a few areas. We don't know what control surfaces will bring in the future, but here are a few points that I find unfortunate.

The 180 degree gimballed thrusters should apply near 100% main thrust in reverse but it only applies 50% (there are combat balancing concerns but the weaker hull should compensate).

Lateral thrust should apply about 50% thrust with 2 thrusters gimballing but it applies only 25%.

Rotation rates should be among the fastest but are slower than an Anvil Arrow.

Atmospheric pressures are mostly ignored and the ship flies in-atmo almost as if it is in vacuum. I would expect at least a little more stability to help in turns using the 4 wings.

The pilot sits high in the cockpit. There is little room, but reducing the height by just a little bit, helps with upward and sideway visibility.
