At least you can do a barrel roll. ;)
It feels REALLY sluggish for being a heavy vehicle in the sky with only thrusters holding it up. Very hot air baloon feeling, as others have said.
I like the new abilities of control, it just seems gravity and rotational controls are underpowered. I'm ok with inertia, but a rotational (left-right) spin needs to be improved.
Still playing with it, trying to figure out what feels wrong.
I like that it's more challenging though, while offering more control-- hopefully some agility tweaks will help it be more nimble, not just a hard to fly boat in the sky. |

lol I had some guy want to get in, so he hopped in, and I went to drop him off at a cap point, and was trying to land with my old muscle-memory skills and was wobbling all over hte place, but did some acrobatics to not run into the mountain, and looked down, impressed I saved it, to find my gunner LONG gone. |

Ill tell you what is wrong with it, its unable to strafe left or right or fly backwards. Helicopters should be able to do that these, 'vtol fighters' we have can only fly straight and cant even peform a simple z axis manuver.
tilt backwards and hit up, it'll go backwards that way. |

barrel roll is easy. living afterwards is optional.

naw, like trying to get the sense of why this passed CCP approval.
I need to get in more games with the super cheap dropship fit I made and just crash a dozen or two trying to map it to my brain.
finally got in one game which was a huge snipe fest (cool map tho) and pulled out a cheap dropship but someone wanted to gun so we went down in a blaze of glory when the first swarm laucher hit ;)
I like that I can rotate left-right while hovering, but I'm trying to get over it's huge sluggishness.
I got caught on a side of a mountain and couldn't get off for 20-30 seconds, as it had rolled and up wasn't' working.. I finally hit down to roll it down (upright) to be able to go up again. so weird.
update: I'm starting to get the hang of it, it just drives like a boat. |
