 Here is a video that shows how I think a combat dropship should handle and behave.
 
 It is highly unstable in the air, requiring skill to these spins and such, but very agile due to it.
 
 It also has 2 weapons available to it, and a third for a gunner which isn't in the video.
 
 I suspect 1 weapon for the pilot would be sufficient and more easily implemented with current controls.
 
 This is not for a jet style vehicle, but one using the current dropship flight characteristics.. yet it would not be a personnell carrier, purely combat support like Apache Helicopters for the US Army.
 
 Please note, the videos don't have swarm launcher and forge gun AV people in there trying to swat them out of the sky.. they basically have impunity. This would be an ideal-day situation, not a realistic fight.

 Thoughts?
 
 As far as defenses, I'd be fine with them being like a T2 level dropship should be if it doesn't have a CRU.

 we will be getting fighters so we can attack from the air like that later after release i believe, i do think i should be able to remove the guns from my dropship tho so i can get more cpu/powergrid to fit some more defensive modules so i can take some damage droping people into harsh combat zones.

 but i agree people have fun and like to fly helicopters in fps games, so having an attack vehicle that hadles like a helicopter in dust would be good as im unsure if the fighter will handle like a helicopter or more jet like.
