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."
That's the easy stuff though! Try going in hot, stopping to lay carpet missiles while passengers hop out and take an objective you bank around a building at an 80-¦ pitch to avoid a forge gun shot then as swarms come in from your port you pull a hard six climb high enough to pull a Split S, ending up over another objective and laying missiles of splash death from the enemy just spawning in

The controls are just fine the problem is no matter how good a pilot you are if you get hit you get flung so hard upside down its impossible to recover from. |

I masochistically like that as well. Acting "like a bus" after a swarm launcher it's kinda unnatural :p |

it's not as bad as they think cause 90% of the time I get flung from swarms I can AND DO recover before I hit the ground but I'm one of the few who have learned and mastered the new controls hell I can fly under the pipes again but I don't always get flung do to swarms sometimes they just do dmg and just recently I was able to survive 90% of a skirmish match with just 1 dropship the Whole game and I was hit like 5 or so times with swarms :P but the guy finally got me one good time since it clicked in his head to use more than one set of swarms again and I lost contorl and he got me.............well the ship anyway i'm not that stupid :P |

I still think a "simulator" or "Flight Academy" would help people train flying (and driving) without ruining themselves in the process. I'd probably be willing to pay a few Aur for the feature. |

Just go up; I had a dropship at max height, and he just had to sway a little left/right and the swarm's missed. I fired 6 volleys and only 2 of them hit from directly below. |

I am having an extremely hard time justifying the cost of the dropship vs its performance against LAVs to my evaluator. |

How many swarm launches can you take in your dropship? I usually die when a second full volley of rockets hits me, so I can survive one. Then again I'm only using the militia stuff all round. Any advice on which dropship to aim for and which modules to go for would be appreciated. I kinda just want to be able to stay alive for longer and take more damage. Thanks |

ALOT At least 10 I've been using a myron dropship and with the way I set it up it has 2500 shields at least with 2k armor and considering the skill I have now at flying I can go around 5-10 matches with my friend without losing that very same dropship and by the time I lose it I almost always have enough money to buy another one which is 425k we take hits we dodge hits we have a ******* field day all the time lav can't even compare to my dropship :P we eat those and the tanks |

yea the militia dropship is trash.. you can fly it for about a minute and gunners get maybe 3-4 kills on average, the myron shrugs off all but the most advanced SL and gunners sometimes go double digits.. |

you'll just to put up with a bunch of smacktalk from morons who think their high kill counts on leader boards mean something special.. you'll find a consistent squad very easy tho if you fly well.. |
