This is soooo fun, especially with upgraded missile launchers. I started doing it the second day of the 2.0 patch because I needed to save my 100,000 ISK ship because I was low on money. You really can't see **** from up there, only the red arrows above people's heads, so it takes some skill to be able to kill people. I dont really do it too much, because I was never really like to sit still in FPS games, so I usually just fly my ship around if I call it down.
But, dont complain about this, because I have easily been taken out of there by forge guns and even snipers shooting me off the turret. |

More often than not, I'll be at the end of a missile scope while rollin' in my HAV. I understand that dropships should be able to evade fire by staying out of the tanks FoV, but... isn't camping in a ship so far out that you can only tell where people are with indicators a bit excessive? I was just in a match where there were three dropships doing this. Was driving into the center of the map and all I saw were streams of missiles crossing each other going into the ground. It's getting out of hand.
Track the trajectory of the missle back to the ship, and shoot it down. If any body makes an effort, they can easily take those ships down.
If I was a sniper I would love these, I would be popping those gunners out of their turrets all day. |

If I was a sniper I would love these, I would be popping those gunners out of their turrets all day. See though, I'm in a tank and can't aim that high, and no one else is gonna save me because of the lack of communication. If by chance some forge gunner sees the trajectory, yea, it's easy pickings for him, but that's not always the case. The thing is... this kind of camping is rediculous. I'm pretty sure that it'll happen less when militia vehicles are gone, but until then... yea, this is an issue :v
Yeah militia vehicles are definitely contributing to this. Whenever Im up there, I like to think I provide fire support to my team, I mostly get assists and never camp spawns, but I also have over 800,000 SP put into my dropship(120,00 ISK each), which shows I am committed to it, bringing a militia drop ship up there to farm kills should be frowned upon. |
