You guys ever do Air Cav drops?

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

Maybe in the far future, people will re-discover the mythical "Explosive flying contraption that seeketh out other airborne units by magic or the grace of god"

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.

(This is Adamance)

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..

This makes me sad. I understand that doing something like this with blueberries is a bad idea and all vehicle drivers/pilots agree, but why does it have to be that way? I'm sure they can develop some sort of system that makes it clearly obvious for blueberries what the pilot wants them to do.

No shield rep? I would have thought that would be suicidal. Im pretty new to being a dropship pilot, coming up towards 2 mil sp i think now, just wondering how you would rate my python build?

2 shield extenders
active shield hardner
shield booster
1 adv accelerated missile pilot gun
2 std accelerated missiles
2 small payload, a 7% and a 10%

This is my newest build, and seams to be working ok so far, just with the cost of running them I cant really play around with fits too much and really work out what works best without burning more isk than I have, any helps appreciated

I fear that we will get too excited, overuse your recording card, break it, mope, then get another, rinse & repeat

However the issues arise after the drop even with blue dots who are listening. They cannot call targets, they cannot tell us if they are down, they cannot call for pick ups.

I would love for some of you DS pilots to roll with a well drilled and well meshed Air Cav team watching the carnage from a dropship on high is glorious.

Massed Teleport Attacks (aka using drop uplinks to spawn bomb and area), co-ordinated drops on multiple levels, aggressive drops, tactical drops. On a minimally defended objective you can have everything blue in under 30 seconds and be out of there and in the sky in another 30.

Contrary to reality if you aren't in and out in under a minute you aren't doing it right....
