Now if only tank drivers needed even 1/10 this amount of skill to drive their vehicles. Thanks for the write up anyways, very informative, hopefully it helps the few pilots willing to really put in the effort to get the hang of these things. |

Could someone give me the lowdown on how to stop? Like, I'll be moving along, then I'll want to slow down to give my gunners a good shot...but I kind of just whip all over the place. Is there some way to stop quickly, or do you have to bank all the way around to slow down?
Also, <3 cycled missile launchers, so good vs vehicles. Last build I used to have a blaster and a missile launcher (blaster for enemy dropships) but you don't see them enough to really justify it right now. |

To be fair, if they're a descent shot and you can keep the ship steady, the cycled launchers do more damage. I was considering having one cycled launcher for vehicles and one accelerated for infantry, though you can use either gun against either target, of course. |

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but an excellent way to gtfo of dodge is to quickly drop your altitude as you're moving forward, then pull up as you approach the ground. This basically launches you forward and gives you a good boost of speed, plus it can be used to break LoS for Swarms depending on the map. Lots of fun ^_^ |

Gonna give this a go, I'm so bad at landing >_< I can't tell you how many times I've landed on my side and not been able to to get the ship off the ground again =_= |
