I want my chassis mods back, they screwed up dropship handling so much I barely knew where I was going, this had the happy side effect of making me impossible to hit and letting me outrun swarms launched ridiculously close. |

If you don't know what the old and/or new afterburners are like-
Old afterburners used to give you an extremely powerful burst of speed for about a second, slow down, then give another similar burst shortly after.
New afterburners give you a weaker, but steady burst of speed.
Old afterburners were also bloody annoying to control, their only downside. |

If fully maxed and fitted right they can acctually take a bit of a beating. Although I have only seen maby 3 or 4 pilots that are any good with the assault varient . Iv had too many of them just hover infront of me and hit me with their missiles lol. (Thedy be a bit more effecrive with a 20gj scattered ion cannon against my shields .
Missiles are the most versatile small turret for dropships, they're decent enough against infantry, are the order of the day turret for dogfights, and are good against armour tanks and okay against shields. Blasters are horrible to aim but are ridiculously effective against infantry and shields, but are useless for dogfights. |

Blasters are horrible to aim but are ridiculously effective against infantry and shields, but are useless for dogfights. I have skilled into proto blasters and proto missles for my Python and honestly, i would use my proto missles more just because of its dogfighting capabilities as well as how effective it is against infantry. I do enjoy the blaster however for shooting LAV's down quick, Cy Clone1 is actually the person who showed me the way of the blaster
The thing I most like about using the blaster against LAV's is that occasionally you can take out the driver, but then again that can be done with missiles and there's something so very fun about swooping down firing a missile and stealing a tanks LAV kill. |

Yeah i have done that with missles about 5 times so far, and it's so awesome each time. Honestly i do enjoy the blaster, but i think the XT-Accelerated is my match made in dropship heaven.
Same, greatest moment of my dust life was when I killed a LLAV driver on my first shot with an XT Accelerated missile turret, only thing that stopped me shouting down the mic was the fact we were in a corp match and Free had given us a 5 minute lecture on the fact that we were going to keep the comms clear or bad stuff would happen. |

Serimos Haeraven wrote:Although what's incredibly effective (Cy Clone1 and i tried this our recently) Is when you have 2 ADS's, one with a blaster (Clone1) and the other using an XT-Accelerated (Me). In our matches we were going 16-0 on average, and Cy Clone even went like, 25-0 on one match i believe.
Nice, I've learned to be wary of having two allied dropships even remotely near each other though, too high a chance that you could collide if something goes wrong or AV starts shooting. I've had collisions when both of us dived on the same target, his controller broke and he sailed effortlessly into me, one of us gets hit by a forge/rail gun and gets knocked into the other...
You get the picture, it can be effective if done right though. |
