Impressive stuff, that guy you were chasing around 2:00 did pretty well though to survive the onslaught for as long as he did.

Yeah, those after burners do help a lot when you need to get away. If you also notice, a lot the shots the were aimed on hit but because of the distance they kept blowing up before they reached him allowing him to survive much longer than if the missiles lasted a bit longer. |

what type of missiles were you using? i want to say fragmented, Accelerated has alot of range and is good for dropship to dropship engagements. Harder to hit infantry though |

Wow, good job piloting but this looks like crap tbh. The missiles seems uber hard to aim with, the UI doesn't help with it at all and most of the time your ship is in the way of aiming..
Aren't these supposed to be like helicopters in BF? http://youtu.be/3tTPLrBc1NE Looks a hell of a lot more fun, why dont we have big autocannons on ours? |

Loading up a tanked up Dropship with a Two heavies, two assaults, and Two Logi's and dropping troopers in waves on objectives or buildings, securing the area, taking the objective, and then getting a pick up afterwards to bail.

oh yes, we do normally run transportation but its mostly in PC or with corp mates. we do not approve of blueberries entering our dropships. |

Was using accelerated. Even with alot of range, its still not long enough for air to air combat.

Thanks, I agree that it is very difficult to fly and shot because of the aiming and DS blocking targets. But that's what makes Dropships special. It's not a vehicle anyone can simply jump into and expect how to use it. There's a sort of art to it. And those that take the time and dedication to learn the mechanics feel proud of themselves to be part of a small group DS pilots. You feel like you accomplished something everytime you get a kill, you know you have skill when you hit double digits, and when you kill multiple tanks while getting shot at by forges and swarms... it makes you feel GODLIKE!!!! |

Oh yeah you have to do it with an organised squad or it doesn't work. And one single DS can cover two squads if the pilot is quick enough, skilled enough, and ballsy enough. |

Did you guys played last night, I remember a match on line harvest where I was, on an alt, with 3 other assault DS. Fun stuff! I might try the afterburner at some point, but I love my 4th extender right now... |

Notice that the ADS is extremely powerful in the right hands. I don't know whether you guys fly with the DS3 or KBM, but with the DS3 I suck at aiming with the ADS pilot turret. But you guys handled it extremely well, very impressive.
With the upcoming addition of turret ammunition, however, even with such a high accuracy rating gained from months of flying, it might be insufficient to make up for a limit on how much you can fire.
-I propose we remove the two passenger seats (leaving only the pilot and two gunners) in exchange for extra armour plating/shielding and a boost to ammunition supply. The gunner spots should be sufficient for an ADS to perform a minor transportation role, and it will certainly highlight the basic/logistics DSs' roles as troop transports.

That is some sick flying. I know this is a DS squad, but if you ever need a shield transporter or a remote rep I'd love to help out. Gotta be worth something as a ground troop. |

Nice video!
I wonder if Assault/Logi DS are being temporarily removed in 1.5?
CCP Wolfman wrote: Similarly, vehicle roles will be reduced and then re-implemented properly once the base interactions are working well.
If so, with the removable turrets feature, I hope base dropships get the option to fit a pilot turret. Then when Assault DS are re-implemented they might be able to get some stronger gunship type bonuses or even a medium turret.
Oh, and as made evident by the video; aiming the pilot turret can be... challenging. Soft lock on (the turret gimbals a couple of degrees to help aim) would be nice (not just on DS but on vehicles in general; LAV have similar problems).
Regardless, I look forward to more potent turrets with the advent of finite ammo. |

swarms don't do mcuh to drop ships, as you can see here they just hit the after burners and are gone long before the second salvo hits. |

Hey so, this Condor squad channel, might it be a place for an upcoming gunner such as myself to get places to start gunning out of? |
