Well once upon a time I could fly a dropship expertly and so precisly it was like bread and butter.
Now I cant manage to keep the thing to stay upgright. |

I envy you. I'm at work. I've got another 4.5 hours. Hope the servers are still up when I get home... |

well they did say that they changed the physics model for the dropship. just learn to deal with it.....then once you have, let them know if its a good thing that its hard to do....or a bad thing. i personally think being able to role an aircraft is a good thing.
i mean....it would seem kinda dated if the aircraft didnt feel like a proper aircraft with pitch yaw and roll. |

If anything it makes it easier to squish people. |

I may have been the first to be squished this build. So it seems squishing was not nerfed |

I can't even land this stupid thing now, it isn't fun to fly, it 'rolls' and 'floats' all over the place. I could never drop anyone at an objective now, I'd lose half my shield, be taken out by anyone with a forge gun, can't provide a stable targeting platform for my gunners, will give you sea-sickness from crazy screen shakes just from LANDING and I'm not spending millions to replace it.
RIP Eryx, I loved you, but now you're a floaty metal coffin. |

I'm assuming they'll be implementing pilot suits and pilot skills any day now. They'll require some real dedication, which is a good thing. |

Guys guys guys found a way to deal with it
1 Order your dropship
2 Click R3
3 Pretend you are in a fighter jet.
4 ????
5 understand you cant profit anymore as dropships have no foward guns to strafe with this is better suited to be a vtol fighter controls not dropship controls. emo rage. |

This is probably the difference - pilot suits should give bonuses to flying these. This is CCP logic in Eve, so why wouldn't they implement it here? |

This seems like the most likely reason for the gong show that has become piloting. What gets me is why implement the skill-dependent physics separate from the pilot dropsuit? |

Alright so OBVIOUSLY, we should ask for a pitch and yaw indicator on the UI hud when using the dropship
, or if anything an actual cockpit and not the nose camera. |

the dropship was a bit overpowered.. i was flying it with one hand practically, one of my gunners xveneryx went like 38/0 twice.. average was about 20/0.. the only thing that opposed us was multiple proto forge gunners.. swarm launchers were a joke. i actually felt sorry for the other team.
i'm anxious to see the changes and learn to fly the new one. if it can be mastered with practice and something to do with the pilot suit making it fly better it might be pretty cool, and give the dedicated pilots more pride in their role.
a pilot without pride or an attitude is just some guy |

They fly like a fighter now you cannot perform dropship roles at all. |

Yeah, I've yet to play the new build, and i like your closing statement. I loved flying in warhawk, in fact I'm one of the few people i know that played that game with six axis controls with pro flight mode on (barrel rolls had to executed manually, as opposed to just jamming the analog stick in one direction) so I'm going to stick with Dropship Piloting. I suck on the ground so discovering i was good at flying dropships was a wonderful thing and I'm not going to give up on it. |

At the Options part where you remap your controllers, there-¦s an option for dropships.
I-¦ll try the different loadouts to see iif any of them are the old controls.
I suck completely with this new dropships =(
At least the vertical speed is nice compared to the previous. |

The physics change is beyond a bit extreme UNLESS this is all balanced out by a pilot suit and additional skills. One touch and you're upside down...and good luck to touching down to picking someone up without losing half your shield, landing from one foot above ground does damage. |

Ah, the memories; how many Marine Corps CH-46 pilots have I heard say something similar |

Default or Southpaw is hardly remapping. That's all there is unless I missed something. |

ahhh... bummer. so no remapping the KMB then? Idc, really I prefer DS3 anyhow. and from the sound of the KBM complaints we DS3 fans arent getting the shaft yet, kinda relieved, but was ready with my speedpad/game mouse if it came down to it.
+1 anyway |
