Cause you can only shot something thats stright infront of you. Just bollocks if you ask me. My first thoughts too. This does seem completely cumbersome. As if flying and dodging AV isn't hard enough now you have to be in a flight trajectory to the ground in order to hit someone with a small missile? Yeah. Don't know what I expected but that seems very disappointing. turret is on the aircrafts nose, the nose points down towards the ground because it's a VTOL craft, to move it needs to tilt, by tilting fowards, nose points forwards, down towards the ground. what exactly is the problem here? Fly along with your dropship aimed forward, keep a death grip on your upward thrust, hold your fire button. Congrats, you've just conducted a perfect strafing run. |

see the difference.... that's why its bad to have the pilot as gunner as well as the pilot. +1 for you miss. the aim moves you further more and some people in the forums seem to me to be crazy to think some of the things they think. Can I point you to battlefield? They have a spinal mounted weapon on the AH and that thing is pretty damn dangerous. Lets wait until we've all tried using them before we declare them useless and unworkable. I'm one of the main DS pilots for Dead Six Initiative (Ladwar's corp), and I gotta say that I'm pretty sure I'll be able to aim these things relatively easily. Currently, I put targets directly under my nose and point straight at them so both door gunners get an equal shot. Now I get to do the exact same thing I was doing before AND do damage on my own. |

I really don't think it'll work that way hal and I don't see it being valid as an attack platform more then the current dropships are. but hey maybe it will and the video didn't show it in the best light but from I seen its not going to be better. The video didn't show it very well. Iron Wolf Saber said, I believe, that you can aim the turret down with the right stick. |
