Hi there,
Im attracted by piloting a dropships. But I want to kill people at the same time. As a pilot, is there a weapon in the dropship that we can operate while piloting the vessel ? or it's only the 2 side guns ?
Thanks

The only weapon you as a dropship pilot get is the dropship itself, skilled pilots can and will land dropships on enemy's crushing them. however this makes you rather vulnerable and is a bad idea if your new to piloting. As a dropship pilot the majority of your WP are going to be from assists and spawns if you have a onboard CRU. Also I would really recommend reading skihids guide before you start piloting EDIT: Here's the link: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=34362 |

As of right now I have not seen any WP for people using your CRU.
Welcome to the world of 0/0 with 0 WP meaning you did something right -.- |

Best If:
You have good weapons
Are Squad Leader (commission)
You can squish people, especially heavies because they're too slow to get out of the way. I've done it before and it's a hoot. Takes some skill though, but pretty funny. Has risk though. |

Yeah you're not a pilot till you've crushed someone, cause if you mess up *BOOM* is the usual result |

Squad mate got flanked and was in trouble and i was nearby with no gunners, so i thought lets kill two birds with one stone and crushed the guy, of course less than a second before he had to head shot my teammate, still got a kill.
Quick question how many dropships you lost and how?cause i've lost about 4 to crashes, 3 to enemy fire, and 2 to ******* RDV's (luckily they were all vipers) |

Too many to count... I'd say that of the matches that I call in a dropship, there is probably a 33-50% chance that I make it out with my dropship. Unfortunately for me, my myron costs 464K right now. It'll cost more later tonight, too.
Edit: Forgot to finish answering the question. Mostly, I lose them to turrets and forge gun rounds. I really don't lose them to swarms any more. If I didn't lose it to the turret or forge gun round, it's because I crashed it into something trying to get it away from a turret or forge gun round. I've lost probably 5-6 to RDV's as well. |

Someone's actually managed to run me over with a dropship. Whilst moving. And not stopping.
It was awesome. |

Skim junction.
Apart from behind the main building and deep in your own red zone there is no cover. Which means your doing exactly zip |

I lose my Militia Viper pretty much every time I bring it in. I can pilot it just fine and avoid turret fire like a baws, but once I've set up my uplink on the highest sniping point, I don't really need the ship anymore.
Can I send it back? Usually I just let it fall or park it for a random blueberry to crash. |
