My thought process is that by flying low I have obstacles between me and incoming swarms, so dodging becomes s pretty minor issue. Y'know, in theory.

3. Dropship Flight School - in Rookie Training Grounds [original thread]
So I finally got a chance to sit down and play for a couple hours. I devoted that time to fielding cheap vipers and trying to fly them at high speed and low altitudes to get practice avoiding swarms. Has not been going well. I don't think the prob...

Really high or really fast. If things are particularly hot, do both! Dropships have to decelerate to turn around. You can get some limited success by pitching left or right, but swarms are way more nimble than your dropship, so it won't work for ...

Huh, I was just about to post to this. Nice of you guys to bring it to the front page for me. So I just lost a dropship, and in considering what happened I think there are a couple lessons-learned I can pass on to my fellow fly boys. Allow me to ...

How would it cap objectives?

My preferred way to stop is simply to pitch my nose up. You won't get an immediate stop, but you'll get a pretty quick one and it since it doesn't require turning around it's not as jarring for your gunners. One of the real challenges is simply s...

My gunner hated the cycled launcher, too. The accelerated launcher covers the distance between you and your target a lot faster, so they don't have to lead as much. It also does more damage and has a wider blast radius.

I have a friend who is more-or-less always my gunner. He tried out rails and blasters and hated both. Same with cycled launchers. He said he lost too much accuracy in all cases. I don't know if the non-militia rails "feel" different to a great eno...

I was doing some thinking about my dogfight earlier today, and I've been theorycrafting some dogfighting ideas. These aren't tried and tested like my other posts, so I'd love some feedback. For the pilot: 1) Dropship turrets can reach all the way...

12. Dropship Flight School - in Rookie Training Grounds [original thread]
This post is intended as an instruction manual for dropship gunners. I've never gunned myself, so as far as things like "aiming" I can't offer much. 1) Your primary role is not to get kills. You are your pilots eyes in directions he or she cann...
