I thought us pilots can talk here and where we have trouble we can seek advice then go to feedback, I thought it would be a good idea since we can keep short term/ people who have done little play tie from the feedback section and to verify their thoughts incase they missed something, and pilot related topic (as in aerial pilot, not driver) please express and I`ll respond actively along with other dedicated pilots, also if you need help flying a DS, learning strategy's and how to spec correctly in a DS go ahead and ask, if I get a lot of reply's asking for that sort of help I`ll make a training thread about piloting.
so to the mighty Python,(and Incumbus) it really does its work when using the proto cycled missile launchers, the accelerator are fine but the cycled are the best turret choice, its also simple to spec into. when I fire on infantry they are all like "RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY" (+1 to the first guy/girl to get the reference in this paragraph) its also effective against tanks even more so since your not relying no gunners, they can be better but only if you have them. The Cycled missile launcher also helps practice your aiming and gives you time to get used to the A DS (Assault DS). I`ve destroyed 2 tanks, 4 tank kill assists (should have been mine...) and 2 DS kills, 1 was A2A and the first person view works very well in A2A, but I advice third person view in A2G (note, the camera is a bit different), and I got 20ish infantry kills so far, a pilot can have a reasonable KDR in the long wait till the deserved WP gain... coming soon.
I feel sorry for gallante pilots since Nanofiber armor modules were taken way (allowed less speed reduction while giving you HP), so they are stuck with speed reducer HP modules. In addition the STD and ADV logi DS got a "heavier feel" so the gallante guys are in a really bad position, its saddening.
something to note is the flight ceiling for A DSes is broken so enjoy the escape route, and use it sicne the market is also broken, the DS is 2x the cost its should be in this build.
skills are reasonable to get, my skill sheet isn`t perfect in my eyes but I got my mandatory and more from 7.6 mill SP. |

I am in the process of rewriting it for Uprising and should be posting the update this weekend, but the section on flight physics and initial training is still valid. So far I prefer the Fragmented ML, but I haven't played enough to make up my mind yet. I have noticed that the ADS pilot doesn't tend to give his gunners a steady ship to aim from because they are busy trying to get shots of their own.
k sweet.
Fragmented eh? I haven't tried that 1 out but sure will, doubt I will care to try rail guns but blasters sure. yea the A DS is very unstable, but in a few days I think we will get the hang of it. |
