...Your own allied turret teams kills you by slamming you into the mountain building or ground.

..Your own gunners crash you as they accidentally hit your own dropship causing it to spin out of control.

...Somone spawning in the drop ship throws the roll extremly off.

...Somone exiting the dropship causing the tail end to flip up too much.

...nearly impossible to land as the camera shakes rather voilently no matter how slow yo float to the ground.

...still crash as a sudden gust of wind knocks your landing dropship into the ground upside down which at that point you're stuck if you managed to survive it.

...when you realize you're just better off not installing a cru (as you still dont get teamspawn points) and not having guns and just fly around as the worlds most expensive pinata for swarm launchers which BTW are much faster than a nanofibered up viper and more manuverable than your flying bus can possibly perform.

I can't even fly them, no literally i hop into the pilot seat and press the normal buttons for take off and nothing so i push and hold all the buttons and nothing. I switch my controls to southpaw and nothing, but tanks and lavs i can, must be a scout thing

I think it is too early to say that the new physics model is bad.

There are skills that affect the maneuverability of the dropships.

It may also take time to hone your own skills at flying them.

Before, anyone could jump in a dropship and fly them around no problem, now I can totally see them only being flown by people who REALLY take the time to practice and get good at them.

I think that is a good thing personally. Granted, it is HARD to sit in one place and provide cover, but it is more responsive and if you go too hard to one direction or another you can quickly lose control. Try making small adjustments and practice it.

I jumped into one, started flying, realized something was wrong when I did a barrel roll upon trying to land and grab some dudes up off the ground. When I jumped out something weird happened where I quickly started to ascend like I was superman, luckily I had a SL with me so I launched a couple swarms before dieing when I hit the invisible ceiling. Something is definitely wrong with the physics now, but it seems like everything else feels pretty good.

I didnt say it was profitable i said it was there, and actually quite fun.

... an allied tank kills you on accident as the resulting spin usually is a nose dive into the ground.

... an HAV runs away and you choose not to chase it as doing so puts you in the right angle to get shot by it.

...still crash when a sudden gust of wind knocks your landing dropship into the ground upside down which at that point you're stuck if you managed to survive it.

...when allied forces causes more crashes than the enemies. (current score 4 allied, 2 hostile, 3 self)

And before you tell me I suck as a pilot I got two more tanks painted on my dropship today one of which was a sagaris (lawl armor tanking sags) a few dozen infantry mowed down and airdropped two squads worth of folks safely. That is probably a hell lot more than average pilot since launch. I would like to thank the brave mercs that had some faith in me not to crash instantly. Had the enemy had the sense to use swarm launchers earlier I wouldnt be here braging bout post build kills.

Im having no problems at all with the new physics. It's harder to keep it steady so your missile gunners can hit stuff (that said I think alot of the time parked next to an empty tank still wouldn't be good enough for most gunners) but I think it's new found agility adds to the fun. So far iv not crashed it once fatally. And I had a doosey of a head on with another dropship! It's agility means that the npc launchers find it very hard to hit you. Landing it again, still no probs, just hover a meter or so of the fround and wait for the landing gear. Still hard to evade swarm launchers though. Would be handy if you got a lock on warning.

Overall, bar the cost. I prefer them this way. Feels alot more realistic, not like the old physics where it was virtually flown for you.

I still need to actually teach myself how to fly the damn things.
