So I have spec'd into the assault dropship and I have to say......
It is the absolute most waste of SP ever I believe. Now my reason is A: it is just an extra small turret that the pilot gets to shoot but what is stupid a it cant really kill anything reason is if you want to get a kill with it you have to be low shooting at infantry but the thing is you will be shot down by AV Grenades faster then anything. B: I mean it shouldve been a special Large Turret for it reason I say this is, is if you strafe run infantry your not going to get a single kill at all or in facts barely any damage. The only way you could get a kill is from the side gunners or if your in aerial combat. So I either request that a special Large turret is made for the assault dropship or that extra small turret is Computer Operated and auto locks on things and shoots at it or it is absolutely a horrible vehicle. |

I've thought about going into the Assault Dropship solely because me and my mates have killed (to date) two HAVs using the Militia Dropship: Gorgon variant.
They can't be -that- bad if a competent team can wreck *** on an HAV with a Militia variant. |

Yeah sure it isnt bad but the extra turret isnt at all any help for one to shoot that HAV your going to have to have the dropship's nose (front) looking at it or on its level and that is going to get you shot down easily. See this extra turrent only looks straight you have to move the dropship to have it shoot were you want, it only shoots forward. |

See, I generally am facing the HAV anyway so that both of my gunners can fire on it simultaneously so this wouldn't bother me....
Edit: Perhaps try flying sideways and using your Active Hardeners to reduce the incoming damage? |

No you dont understand the turret shoots forward unlike the side turrets which can look down you have to be on the tanks level which means it will shoot you you dont have the element of range |

Can't you aim down with the camera? |

No not really unless your dropship is pointing directly at it then yes but its a dead on you either strafe run it which is kinda not very good its better just to have gunners shooting or being on its level |

Before the update, I loved to pilot dropships. Now, not so much. This new swinging camera crap is, well, crap. I am enjoying the massive ceiling they have now. Makes for better tactical drops. Would like to see a further distance from district. As far as using the front turret on the assault ship, if the old controls were around, it would be easier.
O yea. The fact that I can now do loop da loops along with barrel rolls is pretty cool.
Give us back the chase camera or at least let it be an option please.

Yeah I liked the old dropship controls no it seems that my dropship is rushing the map when i dont want it to go that fast but anyway it was easy to manage with old controls

Just get your ADS to a hover, pull the right stick all the way backwards, and shoot. Now notice how your turret is firing at the ground.
Also, I love my assault dropship not only for the turret (with 2 of my corp mates on my proto missile turrets, we RIP through tanks), but the maneuverability and speed. Myrons just feel so damn slow now. The thing can climb faster, get moving quicker, stop quicker, etc. Hell, I can dive bomb a squad onto an objective due to this awesome new flight ceiling, and the Python only makes that all the more possible. |

Really because it is pretty impossible to shoot to the damn ground because the damn python wont stop moving it just keeps on saying unwanted sure I can have it hover for a while but then it wants to go really fast for some reason why idk im not moving the left stick when it just starts to go fast and I also figured out about that b4 I put this but the thing is, is that when you aim down your nose is also slightly adjusted but I figured out how I can make this a great thing I just need a million SP |
