After reading this earlier I went and made a grimsnes. Had the numbers to put an active armor hardener, 2 complex armor plating, a complex armor rep, complex shield booster, a passive shield resistance, and 2 advanced baster turrets.
If I had not mad a bad turn it would have been really hard to take me down. I was flying the 5 point map. Made half a loop lost all my shields and 1/3 of my armor by the time I was back around to a full loop I was at full everything again. Mad two more loops and made a bad turn hit the tower you can't fly over and went down. i think this is one of the best fits I have made for my grimsnes. Would like to see others.
As far as landing goes it is not hard come in hot. Throw your front end up as far as you can with out going over, and push the descend button and land. The gear comes out but only if you are not going really fast these make it were you take no damage. You might have to feather the descend alil but you will get it. I have also been working on landing in like a run way style but this is more for hiding behind mountains and is a lot harder to do with out taking damage. |

You have to learn how to feel it out also I do believe you can use the other stick to see the ground a little bit better. |

So I was actually testing out the collision on accident, but I did notice you take less damage to the top of your ship than you do to the rest of it. This was actually tested on roof collision with the MCC. As for landing it is a lot easier for Caldari than it is for Gallente. Since the landing gear is wider for them and you don't have to worry about stability. |

I can't see the resistances, but the fact that it had equal shields and armor is telling me that your dropship probably has a better tank than that HAV. On the topic: Today my Grimsnes actually survived two forge gun rounds and a few blaster hits. I'm real proud.
I know the feeling I flew my Grimsnes and took three forges before I went down. Thought they were successive(have to give it to that forge gunner he was a good shot) I forgot to activate my hardener before I got in range so that hurt me I think. Yea I almost have the same total HP as my friends highly specced out Gunlogi makes you feel good as a dropship pilot. |

Oh yea those things tear you apart with ease, and have a pretty good range too. |
