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.

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.

Its actually easy to fix. Blueberries need to be in team chat. The main reason we dislike blueberries is because they dont listen... unfortunately the reason they cant listen is because either they are not on correct channel, or simply do not have a mic. If they did, I would be more than happy to play with blueberries.

It's not a good dogfight option. Blasters are best reserved for infantry use. You could probably use stabilized if you wanted but that is PG heavy. Snugz like you said all we need now is some video of Condor ATG Work. Dibs on left turret.

One of my coolest kills ever was shooting both gunners out of a dropship mid-air with only 1 Missile shot, it was incredible lol

Not from a ground thumpin' adrenaline junkies perspective but it's pretty damn eventful. 3 tanks downed and a few enemy ADS. Next time Snugz and NG will be sure show how to mop you ground junkies.
Sir Snugglz Red Star. EoN. 67	Posted - 2013.08.29 01:05:00 - [66] - Quote That's true.... that was simply a compilation of 2 matches as they were our first. As we start playing more I promise the videos will get better.
Baal Roo Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 2400	Posted - 2013.08.29 01:11:00 - [67] - Quote skipped around a bit on this video. All I saw was pubstomping, and four dropships barely managing to take out one enemy dropship. Was I supposed to be impressed?
Sir Snugglz Red Star. EoN. 67	Posted - 2013.08.29 01:33:00 - [68] - Quote It was to show how ridiculous air to air combat can be... the ability to run away about your shields go down makes it very dificult to kill dropships. It also shows how vehicles should fear Dropships.
Bojo The Mighty Zanzibar Concept 1608	Posted - 2013.08.29 01:50:00 - [69] - Quote Pumped for tonight's run. Hope we can Q Sync against eachother or get some good ground cleanin'.

Snugz like you said all we need now is some video of Condor ATG Work. Dibs on left turret. The ADS is maneuverable enough to dogfight non-ADSs, and missiles are the most skilled weapon given the need to get direct hits with a slow projectile. I've just found that the difficulty men's that two equally maneuverable dropships means one can always disengage and rep if it wants to. I'd prefer dogfights remain skill based. Heck, I want everything about dropships to be pilot skill based. Watching the video makes me long for the sky, but I don't miss being broke.
Frank Olson Usul DUST University Ivy League 5	Posted - 2013.08.29 04:23:00 - [82] - Quote If I wouldn't have seen those youtube-instructional videos for dropships, I would have believed this to be a fake. Damn. VERY GOOD. After a month of practicing I still hardly land on stuff that is smaller than my own dropship (like the 3 rings on that one map). You seem to have mastered all the maneuvers. Can I be your padawan? :) I think If I had dropship as a realistic goal I would practice more and different stuff. The videos are pretty good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WO6l05VJvk&list=PLKHg2_chaCWZ90yOlRL98xG5BOngoXuF4&index=1 (This is the basic video, there are also 2-3 more advanced videos which already are kind of hard to follow ... well I fly with KB/M which isn't ideal I guess)

If they did, I would be more than happy to play with blueberries. 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....

Multiple dropship tactics is something I've wanted to experiment with for a while now, if we continue flying these squadrons I'm sure the footage will get even better
