A dropship with a good pilot and a couple of descent gunners make short work of tanks. This coming from someone who adamantly hates tanks. Assuming the enemy isn't just spanking you, and your own infantry are doing alright vs theirs, you should be able to float above a tank long enough to kill it, or at the very least put a serious hurt on it. I'm gonna keep testing this now that I know how to fly again, and can actually afford some dropships (<3 these new payouts).
I'll be hopping on the LFsquad channel later tonight / tomorrow to try and find a couple good gunners, watch for me  |

while it would not be very good for defending against enemy infantry, putting railgun turrets on your dropship would be a nightmare for tanks. they are fast firing and do a hell of a lot of damage. you also wouldnt have ot worry about tanks dodging the rounds due to a high projectile velocity and railguns suffer a little less from inertia inheritance so more shots will be on target. |

I agree. My gunner took out 2 tanks in the last couple nights, granted they were gun logis, IDK how well we'd do vs a Sagaris.. One gunlogi was burning and being repaired (exploding tank, double kill- driver + logi repairing it) but the other was at full health and he took it out with a cycled ST-1 missile launcher, maybe took him 90 seconds or so.. Then another gunner requested I refit a rail turret.. Which I haven't seen used very well yet.. I wish we could get a cycled version of the rail turret. |

Yea, I keep bouncing between using cycled missile launchers and accelerated, I haven't been able to decide which I prefer. I want to fit a blaster to use against dropships but damn do they suck ass vs infantry >_< |

I feel you bro, training is expensive. I complained A LOT about these controls, but I'm finally getting the hang of them. Still not sure how I like them, but at least I can fly the damn things now >_< |

it took me about 2mil in crashed vipers to learn2fly.. maybe an hour of total flight time. but it feels great once you know how.. but i've also flown my share of RCs planes and helicopters, not exactly the same but certain things relate especially the RC helicopter- whenever you do something on one control you have to compensate with another..
a dev also hinted that the pilot suit might help out alot
they really need to fix the friend or foe red mark indicator the friendly fire can get annoying.. and dont fly too low i learned this last night, if you take a hard hit and you're too low it's game over- no time to recover |
