Hello All,
I am new here. I previously posted in another thread about my play style. I am transitioning here from Battlefield 3, where I play as all classes and consider myself an Ace Chopper Pilot.
Because of Battlefield (and playing to win not focus on KDR) I am a tactical sniper. I look for targets and call them out, spot, issue warnings, designate (which i don't think exists here?), and over all "that eye in the sky, with a gun". Good snipers do not sit entirely outside of range, but tend to hang back or at least be in the rear/center of the moving force or a nicely defended vantage point. I would say a good sniper is as much about surveillance as it is sniping. A lot of the time i will even just weaken targets from a distance to make it easier for the ground forces to mop up. I also tend to snipe snipers before infantry to disable anyone who may be assisting in the way I am. Anyway that said that's my play style as a sniper.
I haven't even taken a stab at piloting yet, but I look forward to it. As the dynamics of the games (Dust and Battlefield 3) being so different in terms of physics I do not expect my Battlefield 3 experience to equate much.
My big question is regarding builds and corporations. If anyone could recommend builds to me and let me know if a sniper/pilot build would conflict or if I should use a different character for such. I also intend to be playing Medic down the line.
As for corps I guess I should attempt to find a good one? I've only played 4 matches or so to date and I have had little communication with other players. Since communication is a big aspect of my game style are there any recommended corps for noobs like myself?

When I end up playing with one of my squads in BF3 I often end up flying Transport, I am the only one who can land the Huey or Kasatka pretty much anywhere... lol and I am the Dbag that uses a P90 or F2000. Personally love Cobra/Viper and the Little bird / Z-11W are beasts.
I had my first outing as pilot, tho I only had 2 things fitted on. I didn't like the original sticks and ended up adjusting them to southpaw I think. I know I just made it so R1 and R2 control my throttle (similar to BF3). Once I made the adjustment the Myron handles surprisingly similar. I ended up landing on a roof and sniping from there.
Sniping today I learned to keep my distance I got a few instant kills on me. I am not crazy about one shot kill sniper weapons unless it's a headshot but I get that in SciFi games like this its going to happen. My goal is to get my stats up so I can do as much damage as possible in a single shot.
I am looking for builds to use still, want to make sure I am maximizing my character. I plan on making a medic or a heavy too eventually, while I like sniping I also like being in the trenches. I also need to look around and see if there is a way to transfer ISK between EVE characters and Dust (unless someone answers that) because I use to play EVE back in the day, I quit in 2009 . |
