Judging by the shape of the dropships, pythons might be easier. We used to have a time machine

DJINN B4lock Ancient Textiles. 302	Posted - 2014.01.07 02:32:00 - [38] - Quote Scheneighnay McBob wrote: 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 I love it when a plan comes together! 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. DJINN B4lock, CEO Ancient Textiles.

dzizur Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 13	Posted - 2014.01.07 02:48:00 - [40] - Quote I'm willing to try it again tommorow, we just need those overdrives. 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.

dzizur Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 13	Posted - 2014.01.07 02:52:00 - [41] - Quote as for footage we could use a phone camera, i know it sucks, but gets the point across

Additional, open up the squad tab before or after the flight so I can verify who you are working alongside so all parties receive their reward. Borne Velvalor, bested my last signature with style.

Scheneighnay McBob Bojo's School of the Trades 3434	Posted - 2014.01.07 18:28:00 - [45] - 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

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

dzizur Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 17	Posted - 2014.01.07 19:28:00 - [52] - Quote as you may have noticed, it goes flip when i exited it (did not want to crash another of your precious overdrives, and get a better view) I say we should also try doing it on top of 2 and without the pilot inside the tank, i know it sounds crazy buuuut ;)

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.

You could do it lengthwise, but the tank would need to move faster and the dropships would need to be slightly lower so the tank gets some "air" when it gets onto the dropships Proud member of the Commando 6 <3 Commando AK.0
