Jets need to be in the game. I say all the time that ADS are not jets, but people are trying to force them into that role they simply arn't designed for it. What do I mean when I say role? I mean being a fast attack aircraft that can carry heavey an assortment of hard hitting weapons. A Dropships role is to get people in or get people out, providing some light air defence in the process.
But I'm off topic.
I want to talk about air vehical controles and the problems with how jets might work with how vehical controles and modules are working. As of know R2 fuctions as a way to bring up the modula wheel which is incombersom in its own way but will get to that. The only way to yaw in this game is with the right anlog stick which also works to activate moduals on the wheel.
If you switch yaw controles to R2 and L2 you coud use the right stick to look around and aim better. This chamnge would benifit the ADS in shooting as well as the dropship in seeing if any threats are coming in from behind or side. Jets would be able to hover and in hover mode what ever the right stick did in flight mode would convert to this to better identify threats. Air vehicals would still be susceptible to damge, but with this new system you might be able to see that tank lining a shot off, you could also look the wrong way and not see the tank, the point is that being able to look to the left or right of you with out having to turn the whole ship around would help in so many ways.
Jet armaments
Not sure what the jet should be armed with? Should they be able to carry a number of small turrents or have a new set of weapons for just their class like how tanks can only use large guns. Should they have lock on missles, will they have the options for a nvagator, if so what will his/her job be. Wild idea, the fighter/jet could be jeryriged to be a light gunship with the right moduals, but thats just and off the wall idea.
[u]Air vehical battles and moduals [/u
] Any one who has ever flown and ADS or DS knows how utterly irritating it is to have an air fight in them. If both pilots know what they are doing they wont be able to kill the other. Meanwhile if one pilot is superior to the other and lands more shots the weaker pilot can just run and heal up and with how hard it is to fly dropships and the lack of a radar they will duck away and run, come back and repeat. A Python vs and Incubus (if the Python pilot is good) goes like this. Hit, hit hit hit, hit hit hit (goes into armor) (Python needs to reload) (Incubos heals back to half and begins to fly away) (Paython reloads, gives chase) (Incubos runs to his red line and unles the other pilot is pissed enough will go after him, he may or may not kill the other pilot and escape the red line safely.) |

tldr where did he get his info
Been flying dropships since beta, half of my total skill points are in Dropships, my Carldary ADS is at level 5 and i have ponts in sheilds and turrents. I fly dropships all the time. Like I keep saying yes you can get kills with them but jets might do the job better or if not better at least it would fly diffrently. In dropship if point ur nose to the sky you fall back to the ground. |

You got that map size argument from someone else and it isn't an orignal thought.
AND JETS WOULD HAVE A COUNTER other jets and AV. If someone flies dum a forge gun or rail cannon will take them in one shot, pluse swarm missle will shoo them away if they try and get close.
Back to the map size argument and counter argument.
1. I'm pretty sure jet pilots could deal with the sizes of the maps, you forget air has nothing bellow them when they get high enough. To put it simply if their is a problem jet pilots would adapt just like DS and ADS pilots have adapted to the maps sizes.
2. Counters. Every single word you say could be put on tanks, jeeps, and DSs. You speak like "THEY WOULD NEVER BE SHOT DOWN EVER oh I'm so afriad."

Jets or the idea off jets in Dust are what made me and more then likly a fair number of people want to play dust. If you ever saw the 2009 Dust video you know what i'm talking about. Trust me, people see jets are in game they'll come. |
