These new dropship physics are awesome. With the exception of landing, even a gentle landing will cause massive damage.
Never-mind that **** though, I can ******* pull an Immelmann turn over missiles! Good times are ahead, if I can find a good gunner. |

Yeah, it is a pain, but you can recover. Also if the dropships beeping, all passengers please disembark or die.
Sorry to the three who didn't make it, I almost recovered but the armor repair didn't recharge fast enough... 
I just don't know what went wrong... We did manage to distract the entire enemy team for the entire match... |

When you are descending, keep your lateral momentum manageable. At about 5 meters just let off the throttle and let it glide in. Only use slight movements with the stick to correct - no throttle. When you touch down you can go reverse to keep the craft grounded.
I wanted to practice "combat landings" but then the server reset and I'm broke. I won't be trying again until Swarms have their lock-on range nerfed.
I prefer my passengers to stay in the Dropship until I say "bail", but without automatic voice comms inside the craft its hard to coordinate. With an armor rep I recover from hairy situations with the warning klaxons going a little too often.
Thanks for the tip.
I found out you can "recover" the craft from death if your armor rep is good enough, then I crashed into a pillar. |

After the over9000 Gamescom battles and some puking passenger, I was able to achieve simple flying and few loops and barrel roll without closing them with a faceplant. I feel that new controls are more rewarding when mastered...even if I still feel like that http://tinyurl.com/dropshipzz I assume we have some new toys coming soon from the pilot suit and propulsion modules? Assuming seems a legit option ;) I hope for the Dropship equivalent of Bicycle Training Wheels
I'm the type of pilot that flies fast and hard, if you're ever in my ship, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...

Sure, I ain't got a mic at the moment, (getting paid Friday) but I'd be happy flying you around in a stomach wrenching manner.  |

People that pilot their dropships as slowly and carefully as old people drive their cars won't make it far as a pilot in this game... There's a time for both IMO depending on the situation.. No gunner is going to stay with if you're flying all over the place every moment and you will get no vehicle assists for their kills because they're not getting any.
The moment you slow down for a gunner is the moment that every anti-vehicle weapon is looking at you. Until auto-cannons are added your best bet to survive is to fly fast and hard while doing strafing runs on large groups of enemies using missile turrets. Better yet, if you have an on-board CRU (Clone Reactivation Unit) you can stay way up in the air and provide a safe spawn for your team. Just jump out and learn why it's called a "dropsuit." |
