2 months ago I think it's the timing of when the damage indicator starts and not the speed of doomfist that's the issue. For example, flat ground slam used to deal 51 damage and we had to add 1 tick of delay to make it exactly 49 damage.
Also I just remember manually adjusting the impulse magnitude until the slam speed matched the one listed on wiki. @hikiru had made attempts in the past to make slam damage exactly match ow1 at any angle and they did mention the 65 max damage when you indicator slam after uppercut on flat ground.
Low priority fix because I don't think it's gameplay critical.
im looking at hikirus code and honestly its very complex nj to them
im thinking since impulse is too hard to recreate why not just slightly compensate indicator slams damage multiplier to make up the difference lost
i mean its very miniscule but that extra damage could be the difference in securing a kill with breakpoints etc
ill try to think of a multiplier/addititive tmr or another day

Two issues right now with indicator slam:
1.Doomfist flies too fast through the air in this indicator slam
In overwatch 1 Doomfist's indicator slam at max range (15m indicator slam) did 65 damage after testing in this game mode it does not achieve 65 usually falling around 60.
The issues seem to be the speed Doomfist is moving in the air at being slightly too fast, the slam damage multiplier is correct because slamming on ground gets 49 the same as overwatch 1.
I don't have an exact speed he's supposed to fly at, but the current speed is very close just slightly too fast. A way to find the exact speed I can think of would be to just brute force slightly lowering his flight speed until 65 damage 15m slam can be recreated.
Hanamura second point on the highgrounds is a good place to test slams and where I did it.
2.You can indicator slam vertically past 15m
Though horizontally doomfist indicator is correct at 15m if you're very high up you can indicate at 16-19ish meters letting you get 65-75ish damage slams (the max at any angle in overwatch 1 without stalling your slam was 65 damage)
I think this should be able to be fixed since horizontally the indicator shows up perfectly at 15 the issue is just the vertical indicator showing up at 15+ meters.
