Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 3420	Posted - 2014.01.06 23:13:00 - [2] - Quote Is there a chat channel for this? We used to have a time machine
Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 3421	Posted - 2014.01.06 23:19:00 - [3] - Quote I gotta do some stuff first. Mail me in-game and I'll bring my incubus. My theory is that the incubus has the highest max speed of any dropship, as it's gallente and an ADS; also stack afterburners in the high slots. We used to have a time machine
Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 3423	Posted - 2014.01.06 23:49:00 - [4] - Quote ALL RIGHT- I have an Incubus with an enhanced afterburner and 3 militia overdrives. We need another to match this, along with a pair of gorgons with mlt afterburners on top. Guessing a sica would be the lightest to lift, judging by how caldari LAVs roll more easily than gallente We used to have a time machine
Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 3424	Posted - 2014.01.07 00:17:00 - [5] - Quote Damnit! Where are you people? I had to make some changes to the original plan. Still need another ADS pilot at least. When we last tried this, ADSes weren't a thing (then again, dropships had more thrust than they have now) We used to have a time machine
Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 3425	Posted - 2014.01.07 01:40:00 - [6] - Quote IT'S POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We didn't manage sustained flight, but my dropship was powerful enough to lift it until we lost balance and flipped. It was an incubus with an enhanced afterburner and 3 mlt overdrives. Driving the HAV was Ryan Cladera; piloting the second dropship (we failed to get the HAV on 2 at a time) was dzizur We used to have a time machine
Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 3425	Posted - 2014.01.07 01:41:00 - [7] - Quote No footage, though. We used to have a time machine
Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 3425	Posted - 2014.01.07 01:44:00 - [8] - Quote We were here- https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=80605&find=unread the building the HAV drove off of was at E4 FYI I lost 2 fits of priceless overdrives to do this. The first was when we tried a tower, and I flipped (high speed into the ground), the second was when I tried recalling, but a blueberry jacked my dropship and crashed it. We used to have a time machine

But that was our plan B on the first map. It might have worked, but we weren't on oceana that time and a swarm took out the second dropship as it was lining up. HAV drove onto me, I lifted it a little, then we flipped. We used to have a time machine

I see, well congrats on pulling it off :p Although this whole challenge reminds me of that scene from the "A-Team" I'm not sure if we can get rewarded. However, the corp wallet says I can still reward the people who helped me. We used to have a time machine

Do you think the overdrives were key? Unless you forgot to hit afterburners, my dropship seemed to have a much easier time lifting the HAV than yours did We used to have a time machine
Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 3428	Posted - 2014.01.07 02:16:00 - [12] - Quote Iron Wolf Saber wrote: Considering the fastest way I know to kill some tanks is to park on top of the and stay there, and that a lav touching a dropship instantly kills the dropship, I give this high amounts of doubt of feasibility. I never saw that happen this build. Collision damage seems to be fine now. It wasn't particularly difficult to do, so try it yourself. We used to have a time machine
Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 3430	Posted - 2014.01.07 02:22:00 - [13] - Quote dzizur wrote: yes, i think overdrives were crucial because i noticed the same thing, and i had the afterburner on, so there's no room for other explananation. i was also wondering if there is a difference in mass when it comes to different tanks. also, trying out with pythons would be a good idea too, i think they are more agile, maybe have more pull too? i know it would be harder to fit a tank there, but that placed was good enough to align it anyway I only chose incubus because of higher max speed. Judging by the shape of the dropships, pythons might be easier. We used to have a time machine

If you can manage to get footage each merc who flew the first flying fortress will each get 40 tickets each. Judging by the difficulty I will add on an additional 10 tickets for a kill with this flying behemoth. This has become a double ticket challenge. How would one go about getting footage? And it was only a fortress for about a second, before it collapsed into a pile of lols We used to have a time machine

If someone feels like donating/selling them (i promise to do everything not to crash it) also, we could try with 3 ads on the map with towers. Can't trade items yet. I still have over 20 overdrives left We used to have a time machine

Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 3434	Posted - 2014.01.07 18:28:00 - [17] - Quote Well, we got footage. Not sure if it's a success or failure; you'll see. Basically, the tank brought the dropship to the ground, but once on the ground, the dropship flipped the tank. It could only flip it if it could lift it. We used to have a time machine
Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 3434	Posted - 2014.01.07 18:31:00 - [18] - Quote We didn't find the same map we originally did it on, plus we had to deal with assholes railgun sniping into the redline. We used to have a time machine

However, there's a slight chance that mine just had better leverage. We used to have a time machine

You need 2 dropships Yesterday (as in, not recording time) we tried with 2, but we couldn't find a way to get an HAV on 2 at once, unless you count one dropship barely touching it.

Your footage does not disprove. That's what we tried- the shape of the dropships makes it harder than it sounds. The tank likes to slip down the middle. We used to have a time machine
