The dust 514 rebuild brought to us new weapons, new gear, new dropsuite, and new vehicles, one in particular is the assault dropship. The assault dropship is an anti-infantry, anti-vehicle aircraft. Now there are many set ups other than just anti-infantry and anti-vehicle, but we won't go to in-depth just yet.
First we will cover anti-infantry, now many say that with dropships
you can not get anti-infantry, but the assault dropship changed that. With the assault dropship I recommend for anti-infantry that you use a machine turret as your front gun, the sides can be whatever you want, but the cyclone missile launchers are good for anti-vehicle and anti-infantry, making them ideal protection from both for the pilots sake. Now on to the fun part, as hard as it is to do in this dropship, you need to hover in a circle above your enemy, now you may not get kills, but you will get allot of assists. You basically hover and shoot at any red you see, usually this will hit the enemy with the spray of the machine gun, now I'm using the 20-JJ militia machine gun, this I have found can put out allot of damage and it has a large spray, meaning more hits, but it heats up fast, so I suggest using some sort of heating exchange-or. Now, I must warn you before we go into anti-vehicle, the assault dropships almost never stop moving once you get them moving, the result of this problem is you have little control and you will crash often, then there is an upside, forge guns and rail-guns cannot get an easy fix on you, neither can the swarm launchers, they can, but its really difficult.
Now onto anti-vehicle, This is a much easier, but less paying, class of the assault dropship, you can either use a rail-gun on the front of your dropship or a missile launcher either one will work, but you can just hover above a tank and shoot it, it will get a fix on you and shoot you down that way. So you need to do the old bomber-plane tactic, drive at your enemy at high speed while aiming at the ground, when he enters your reticule HUD at the top, fire, this will result in it hitting him dead on. Then there's the enemy dropships, they are quite easy, its like a joust; both riders hold giant spears and run at each other on a horse at high speed, then they try to impale the other on this spear, but here you race by each other guns blazing until one or the other just falls from the sky, or the other chickens out and runs.
This is all I really can remember right now on this topic, let me know if i missed anything and I will try to fix it, and I will answer any questions you may have, Thank you
