So, I skilled into the Gallente Assault Dropship, because I figured I needed something to fly and still be deadly, and if all else fails, I have a ship that moves fast enough to take me where I want to go without a huge chance of being shooted to death.
After a couple ships wasted, and down about 2 million ISK (That skill book price needs a nerf...), I realized that these things are ****ing hard to use. I'm already a skilled pilot. Every match when I'm not on the ground, supporting my squad, I'm up on the highest building, inaccessible by anything else OTHER than a Dropship.
Before the Incubus, I flew a Grimsnes fitted with an Afterburner, Maybe a light Armor Plate, PG Upgrades, and a Crisis Damage Control Unit. As you can see from just that, I probably suck at fitting these. Actually, just vehicles in general, I suck at fitting. I got a Caldari LLAV that's missing a couple slots because of how terrible I am.
My main issue, I think, is trying to aim and stay still. I assume (Haven't met a lot of Dropships that haven't had a complete idiot piloting them yet...) that I'd make a good anti-air vehicle if I have blasters. Just try to match their speed, and fire away. However, when it comes to ground, I can't keep myself still to aim and shoot at the same time. I've tried first-person mode, but then when I try to aim down to actually get a good shot in (Otherwise, I'm above their heads, or just not confident in my shot), I end up moving forward and have to back out so I don't enter the same physical space as the wall. Which is impossible. I'D CRASH.
So yea. What I'm mainly looking for is a skilled Assault Dropship Pilot (I've seen people go 20/0 or something similar...) that can share his/her fitting and maybe give a couple tips on flying and killing with these beasts?
Thanks in advance, you guys are great. :D |

Ok, thanks for the advice, it's a lot of SP to get, and I was really debating the usefulness of it. |

(Aimed at people directing me towards things to teach me to fly)
Thanks for the help guys, but you can confirm with McBob (I think, not sure if he's flown with me before), I already know how to fly. I actually am the flight teacher at Bojo's School of The Trades (Shoutout!).
I'll definitely read all the stuff and talk to the people though, just for some extra practice.
(Aimed at everyone else)
Also thanks for the help. Judge, can't wait to view the videos (Are you are pure vehicle character? Seen you in tanking threads as well...). Everyone provided some great tips, and if anyone else has some stuff, I'd be very appreciative. :D |
