It is a small change that I think every dedicated pilot may appreciate.
As many of my fellow pilots moan about, the current dropships are highly slippery, making maneuvers to specific targets a highly daunting task.
I have been in numerous occassions where I am heading straight for a building that appears out of nowhere in my field of vision as I am turning, only to think, SHTAP SHTAP SHTAP SHTAP SHTAP. 
There is an unused button slot available in the dropship scheme, and I say, let that button become the brake for the dropship. And the brake should function as a button that serves to force the ship to a gradual stand still in midair. This for me is a much needed skill, especially when I am attempting to land the dropship for extraction purposes, or when I need to stabilize the aim of my front turrent or of my gunners.
Anyone think this much needed function in a dropship would help tons for us dropship pilots? We can't be of much air support when the dropship itself is forcing us be on the constant move.  |

Want to stop?
Learn to stop.
You shouldn't need a button to do that for you. |

Ah, one actually does if rocksteady aim is what I need, and not hit and run strafing. Or if I am healing a LAVs and HAVs on standstill, or offer close air support close to ground, it is silly to have the ship in ice mode, making it impossible to "sit" statically on the air. That is essentially what I am requesting, static ship positioning (but still being able to aim at any direction). |

We used to have this. I haven't tried the new dropships but the old, old physics made dropships so easy to fly even a dog could do it.
I really do think this is a learn to fly issue.
But now that I am thinking about this sort of thing, I want a 1 million ISK button. Every time I press it I get a million ISK. Get me this button and I will do everything I can to get you some air brakes for your dropship. |

i think a button that levels the dropship would do. you learn to stop and land it and and the button is just for purposes of hovering but will not stop you from moving in any direction. just makes you level. so if you push it while moving forward. you still move forward, you are just level when you are doing it lol

I can't believe people have that much trouble leveling a drop ship. The thing you are asking for is already there. They are called left and right analog stick.
But let us ,ake a deal. Get me a 2 million ISK button and I will provide you with button that will fly your dropship for you so you don't have to do anyting at all after you press it. |

You are not getting me. Leveling a dropship at ground level, yawn yawn, easy. Landing it, also cake. What I want is to simply have the option of becoming a "static" floating turret of sorts at my heart's desire (especially when there is no effective AV at the opposition).
It's not like the current flight scheme is goof either. It's a challange, but still fairly doable. But it's lousy to dish out dps against infantry targets, but thankfully, dispatching tanks and LAV's are cake. |

Simple tips
Small adjustments to tilt and roll does a lot
Want airbrakes ur dropship has thrusters that point down. Roll and tilt so they point they way u don't want to go. That avoids buildings after that stabilize. I like to think of a skate board on a half pipe
I got nothing for hovering haven't fully mastered it myself still have a little motion but again small adjustment do a lot
Once u learn to fly ull be like the rest of us pilots asking the cops what a brake is |

i have no problem doing all that... im just saying... i like to just chill at a high altitude and let mercs drop on to objectives as well as flying under and thru buildings... i would just like to be level sometime... either a button or a hud |

I know the tilt and roll deal. Good enough for tank hunting, but not good enough for hunting infantry because it is still bereft of the precision I demand to aim my front turret or my gunner's turrets. |

Now a hud don't sound so bad something to say how level u are. Possible part of a new cockpit desighn
As for aiming front turrets on assualt dropships u can somewhat in third person veiw u got about 90 degrees of up down movement no lateral movement though which I'm fine with but do wish for new cockpit desighn that allows for spacial awarness in first person veiw aswell as turret control like the third person view |

tilt you nose up and you`ll stop very fast, no need for a button, most DSes like the STD and Logi though need a better acceleration though lol |

I haven't tried it like that I admit (a move I have avoided, given how I lose utter sight of the ground, and I need to know how close I am to the ground, lest I crash ). |

THIS also would be great.
I do agree, the up and down movement is good and all, but the cockpit view definately could use a rehash that allows greater information input of one's surroundings (And there's a reason why all HUD's are covered outright by crazed amounts of data). |

Dropships dont have ''BREAKS''
What they need is to boost Assault dropships Damage output.
I could literally STAND infont of one and shoot it down with a milita Swarm launcher.

that guys A DS must have sucked. Also not necessary, there's a few bugs and balances to PG and stuff and once that's done more damage mods can be placed, the Assault DS skills per LV add 2%+ turret damage, + that with other skills and the A DS should be fine. |
