I have not played too much on the Codex build.
I have to agree though, the flight ceiling of the Dropship is very dissapointing.
In the previous build, I regularly set up a camp on the Towers; I was a Logi with spawn and resupply drops.
I would fly up to a Tower, make the camp, then fly around.
I liked being able to do this, as it gave a strategic advantage, and forced the other team to position snipers, or fly their own ship up there to deal with the Camp.

I'm opposed to a flight ceiling as a matter of principle, but I never fly high enough to hit this one. Staying low where every dickhole with a swarm can't see you is the way to survive.
Also, lol @ "diving to do a fast flyover" in a vector thrust aircraft. Same for barrel rolls. |

All pilots should be aware of the flight physics of their craft. Without a wing you cannot convert motion in one plane to motion in another plane.
Unless of course the gods have seen fit to alter how physics work in this world. |

Kain I do dislike your forge gun because your one of the very few that can hit me when I am flying all crazy. lol.
Now for the Height it is just below the towers so you can not fly above them. Basically it is set to the bottom of the MCC. |

I haven't yet flown in a Dropship but I do know about the lowered ceiling. That will make DSs much less useful. |

Completely agree. The new height cap has seriously damped the aerial game. |

They will probably add skills for flying higher or mods to the market |

What prompted the ceiling in the first place? No one was crying about OP dropships, and most pilots I know spent most of the time at a reasonable height unless they had to escape a forge gunner. Even without a ceiling most people can't get through a game with the same ship. I would really like to know the data they used to decide a ceiling was necessary. |
