a pilot controlled gun sounds bad, the problem that has been solved today is a front mount co-pilot controlled CANNON. |

small
EDIT: extra tiny
only good part was that missiles actually go at an ok speed. |

it does appear to be useless.. in the hands of the devs so to most it will be but a few handful that it'll be barely usefully.
well this is my guess at least |

tank- ground vehicle where you can stop and aim without moving the vehicle in which to do so
dropship- air-borne vehicle where you can NOT stop and aim without moving the vehicle in which to do so.
see the difference.... that's why its bad to have the pilot as gunner as well as the pilot. |

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. |

in fact shows that you can not aim down with the right stick for the turret and actually did not make any kills or even assist but did have a small number of hits and well lived past its crash with the other dropship somehow.. so explosive paint has been nerfed some. |

The reticle was fixed in the center of the screen and did not bob as the dropships nose did. I believe the pilot in the video just didn't bother using the camera control on the right stick at all. It makes sense as they would just reuse the remote repair aim mechanism. Small movements wouldn't be noticed as it is the view that shifts, not the reticle.
if you ever drove a tank, rail is easier to see this, that you will know what you aim at and where your round hits does not always equal the same and commonly are off for longer distances. |
