Best tips from Experienced drop ship commander. Is your dropship/tank/lav broken? dont have armor repair or sheild boosters? use a supply depot to repair yourself to full!
Drop ship controls
L1 - Positive Lift L2 - Negative Lift R3 UP/Down move camera up or down L3 turns the ship
If you are the squad leader, then click Down on the D-Pad, opens up man, Highlight yourself and press X. Highlight the "rally" button and this way your squad will know to get inside da dropship!
How to do the RickRoll. - After your team mates have jumped out of your dropship and are capturing the point, you commence vehicular manslaughter on the spawn point. you hover over the spawn point, press L1 L2 L1 L2 L1 L2 L1 L2 while rolling RLRLRLRLRLRLRL on the L3. if you do it perfectly at spawn b you can litterally SCRAPE the ground and anyone that spawns will instant pop.
if your about to blow up, hit O to bail out and prevent your enemy from scoring a kill. thus allowing you to call in a new militia vehicle and commence another attack run.
Flying a dropship? You better be equipped with Drop Uplinks. place drop uplinks at sniper vantage points (towers/pipes/nooks/crannyz) You will get massive points when your team runs out of spawns and has to use them to prevent getting spawn raped. major points this way.
i usually put a uplink on two towers at the start of a match and periodically throughout the match. if my drop uplink that was on a tower is taken out and i notice, then its possible someone is up there setting up a snipers nest.
if there is a dropship on a tower and you have no gunner Ram them until they fall off. the first ram should be the hardest. if they do not fall off, or take off, ram them again. if they are in a gunner seat, ram the gunner seat you will kill them, then you can park next to it and blow it off the tower.
Basic fitting for Eryx Missle Turrets x2 Power Diagnostic System x2 Sheild resistance amplifier x4 sheild/armor repair are not required, use the supply depot to repair armor and sheilds when needed
how to deal with pesky swarm launcher spam. oh nos i just got shot by 5x swarm launcher heavys!! incoming swarm, you can 1, hear the swarm, 2 see the swarms being launched,
when the swarm comes, you must get to full speed as soon as possible. either run in opposite direction or go straight at them if they were recently launched,
now the swarms chasing you what to do? keep flying dont worry, now you see the tower, circle around it, a couple of those swarms will get picked up by the tower, okay now theres a couple more still and you just got hit by a forge gun and your in armor, okay now keep goign as fast as yuo can, circle around far away, around towers, into red zones, behind mountains, behind pipes, and then when you recharge your shields a little bit more, fly onto the supply depot and ram into it. as soon as you hit the supply depot your armor will start refilling, hopefully you didnt hurt your sheilds doing this and now you can get repaired as you wait for the remaining swarms to hit you.
thats right. you have to let them hit you to stop them. they will keep on your ass until they hit so be ready for it. fly away, recharge sheilds, drop on supply depot, take the hit, rep up, get back into action.
because the supply depot is basically your repair bay, you must focus on defending this objective if you really want to go on a rampage and ****.
use a mic to coordinate with your gunners. every time i join a match first thing i do is say, "hey does anybody want to be my gunner?" if you want massive amounts of kill assist get two decent gunners.
skills required for dropship.
Caldari race. - very important.
Sorry Gallante, but drop-ship racial bonus for missile turrets and bonus to shield skills is a must.
max out asap all engineering skills. get them all leveled up. get your small missile turret 5, proficiency 1, so you can give your gunners the best missle turrets. then after that, and lots of practice in the Viper - hatch, you can skill up to the Myron, piloting, vehicle command. |
