DUST Fiend 17	Posted - 2016.01.08 16:59:00 - [1] - Quote I really have no idea what I'm doing back here, but for the 3 remaining pilots, what fits do you use for ADS? INCUBUS Complex Afterburner Complex Light Armor Repairer Complex Armor Hardener Complex 60mm Armor Plates 20GJ Particle Cannon PYTHON Complex Light Shield Booster Complex Shield Hardener Enhanced Heavy Shield Extender Complex Powergrid Upgrade AT-1 Missile Launcher It's pretty sad how much costomization was taken from vehicle operators, just curious if anyone runs anything different or if we all kinda just run the same thing since there's so little wiggle room now. If any of my posts seem severely negative, it's probably because they are.

Definitely a good option for trying to clear out a rooftop area though. If any of my posts seem severely negative, it's probably because they are.

Definitely a good option for trying to clear out a rooftop area though. I always alternate the Hardeners, so I'm nearly always Hardened. My issue with the Booster fits is that 'Why would you active a Booster to get yourself at full Shields then activate your Hardeners, when you could be Hardened pretty much all the time from the outset?' Unless you're running Hardener first then Booster when your Shields go down and you're still Hardened, in which case I would say 'What are you gonna do when your Hardener goes?' Besides, the 900 HP the Booster restores you is pretty minuscule. Well if you only have one hardener active most of the time, the shield booster ends up being superior depending on when you're hit. Your fit would probably handle surprise hits better unless you get hit on the CD between the two hardeners, but mine has restoration in mind. Basically I try to harden before entering a hostile area, this would put me on the same level as your fit. The difference though is that at around 50-40% shields I will pop my booster to get back to full, where as your fit would still be at low health with no way to jump start shield regen. It's also a nice safety net for when you get knocked into stuff but don't die, getting those 900 shields back has definitely saved my butt. I guess it comes down to preference, I like being down in the thick of things when I can so having something to cover my ass on the way out just works best for my playstyle.

You can only challenge once hard, and gotta retreat when soft. Imho... That fit isn't very air to air situated. -> i mainly air to air and run as soon as i hear swarms. Kinda biased lol I used to agree with you and ran Heavy plate light rep pretty much exclusively, but I've since gotten REALLY good at breaking LOS of attacking ships so I get way more mileage out of my hardener. I'm pretty good at maintaining a lock too since I have a pretty good feel of how far I can fall while upside down. With no hardener you're just really easy to slice through if you don't constantly break my lock as well. Also for some reason pilots constantly fall for my traps and follow me to elevation cuz they think I'm running The most trouble I usually have is Incubi with a good side gunner, it's much harder to break LOS against them and find a vulnerable point to attack from.

A good pilot will know whathe /she' up against and adjust accordingly The damage mod is really fun for killing tanks or catching dropships by surprise but without being able to maintain elevation I find no AB Incubus fits always fall short in dogfights. But, considering how little competition is in the air these days, that seems to be less of a weakness now. If any of my posts seem severely negative, it's probably because they are.

I wouldn't trust all that time on cooldown lol. Mostly cuz of douchebag Incubus pilots like me who prey on Pythons If any of my posts seem severely negative, it's probably because they are.

I made a thread the other day after flying low to evade Railgun fire only to have a random ADV swarm volley flip me sideways in midair and send me tumbling across the ground before exploding. Whenever I fly low I try to cut thrust just in case of swarms, getting hit while you're giving it thrust seems to send you catapulting with the impact :/ I don't mind, it's usually an amusing way to die at least, better than suicide dropships at least.

But, considering how little competition is in the air these days, that seems to be less of a weakness now. it works great if you know how to boom n zoom. 1) attack from a higher altitude: climb well above before your attack run 2) maintain speed: do not turn sharply enough to where your stick shudder30 3) use that speed to climb and get the altitude advantage again I have other fits depending on the threat level, but this works great most of the time against anything but your proto incubus I am a tad biased just cuz I take pride in not getting taken off guard too much by other Incubus pilots, I get VERY upset with myself if I get much into armor from a surprise attack. I do the same thing these days with swarms as prolific as they are, I circle around at mid to high altitude, check the skies for threats, then find a nice juicy target and dive. It is definitely a shame how many less pilots there are these days, I for one think it's the one thing that makes this game special, but again, complete ******* bias I assure you.

You've got to do a test run and test the situation as the match progresses, then come around and do a hover strike if all seems clear. Well see that's why I almost always open up the match in my rail incubus, to clear turrets and deny vehicles and get a feel for the AV presence already on the field. AV Incubus only slows down to finish off a target, so it's a lot safer for gaining info. Once I feel resistance is weak enough, I'll switch to my Python to rain hell on all the little ants If any of my posts seem severely negative, it's probably because they are.

We just simply respect your skill cause dammn we know it takes dedication to become good with it. Unless they ram. I wouldn't mind ramming even a little bit if 1.)impact were normalized between shields and armor, 2.) impact were based on overall speed of impact and 3.) impact damage were consistent. Right now you can hit someone full speed and both survive or they can ***** feather tap you from beneath with your hardener up and you explode like a virgin at spring break. Most people who ram with dropships suck and are just easy prey, they're so ***** easy to bait. If any of my posts seem severely negative, it's probably because they are.

Drunk me used to have a field day with this whenever I went as an ADS. It could survive a few volleys of swarms. But if there's more than 2 Swarm Launchers shooting you or even a fuckin red-line rail tank, use the Python's high maneuverability. Almost makes me miss the game... Drunk me is NOT allowed to fly. I go up gentle as a moose and come down quite as gracefully. My time in air hasn't ever lasted over a minute, I always try to pull some crazy ass full afterburner roadkill from a dive or something and I just hurtle into the ground at full speed and explode. Basically without fail. I vaguely recall being hammered on vodka, getting incredibly focused as I gently brought my bird down near a blueberry to pick him up. Everything was calm. Then I gently put her down at 90mph and promply exploded next to him. If any of my posts seem severely negative, it's probably because they are.
