Since blueberries rarely jump out of your dropship, wait till it fills up, then fly it straight into a building or the ground. You'll get 4-6 kills, you don't have to die if you jump out, and you'll incite rage like no other. I stopped doing that when I realized I didn't want to be a ****, but hey, have fun >_<
Mithridates VI Circle of Huskarl Minmatar Republic 558	Posted - 2013.04.01 19:11:00 - [5] - Quote Are you meaning to use the dropship itself to deal damage? It'll hardly do anything to a tank. Better to land it and spam AV than to risk it falling on you when you jump out of it.

I actually think if you crash a dropship into any kind of tank, the tank and dropship both explode. I haven't been able to confirm this though, as I lost about 5 militia ships trying this. It's significantly easier said than done >_<

The trick is to have a gallente dropship wih lots of armor and the armor rep running when you hit the tank. You also need to hit the tank from back not the front. Don't pull a dumb Colonel Zaysen

Baal Roo Subdreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 1058	Posted - 2013.04.01 19:25:00 - [11] - Quote Here is what happens: You fly in full speed, when you hit the tank head on ALL of your momentum magically disappears, you hear the sound of a low speed vehicle on vehicle collision (sort of a plastic on plastic thud), your shields and armor drain out, fire, explosion, tank is basically unharmed. don't bother
Skihids The Tritan Industries 1123	Posted - 2013.04.01 20:19:00 - [12] - Quote I tried it before, but found that it is difficult to hit a ground target at any speed in a vector thrust ship like a DS. It's next to impossible to precision dive onto a target given the way it flies and dragging it along the ground at speed is just begging to bump something and be blown up. I had 450 useless Myon hulls after the missile nerf so I decided to use them as suicide ships but gave up after crashing 8-10 ships to very little effect. I was bitterly disappointed as I had so many to dispose of before the move to TQ. I ended up leaving them for junk as CCP didn't let us bring anything with us.
Moochie Cricket SyNergy Gaming 187	Posted - 2013.04.01 20:45:00 - [13] - Quote Its more fun to teabag enemy swarmers/snipers with your myron. Dangerous, but fun.
Nomed Deeps The Exemplars 134	Posted - 2013.04.01 20:49:00 - [14] - Quote Funny this is mentioned as I took out an annoying enemy dropship last night by ramming it with my militia Gorgon. Three passengers survived the crash but I quickly finished them off as they ran away from me toward the closest objective.
Chances Ghost Inf4m0us 35	Posted - 2013.04.01 20:51:00 - [15] - Quote people have tryed doing that to my tank, unfortunatly for them it has yet to result in my tank exploding. make 2 infantry fits for this, first one is swarms + flux + nanohive second is swarm + packed AV + nanohive Since you will be in the redline, your going to need to jump out as late as possable, and so your going to take fall damage, this is going to be the only way to get close enough to the tank in time before you die.

Chances, having hitch hiked in your gunloggi recently, I can vouch for its resilience. Does a dropship hitting a tank have a much greater impact (damage wise vs. comedic) than an lav? Red/blue variety make any difference?

Dangerous, but fun. funny you mentioned that, the other day i was flying and i found four snipers all lined up in a nice tight line on the mountain at manus peak. i exited out and quite literally "Blew my load" on the snipers.

Red/blue variety make any difference? an LAV starts slowing down the moment you get out of it, and its impact is based off its speed, whereas a dropship doesnt slow down...., both an LAV at full speed and a dropship tend to do equil amounds of damage
