This guys are few and far between. and they need more recognition.
Jumped in an ambush the other day and found myself running low on rounds, well I was out. This dropship that had been hanging around the command center decides to come in for a low pass near the entrance I was trying to breach, and failing.
having little else to do, or shoot, I bunny hop into the guys dropship and expect us to be off into the wild blue in a heart beet but he had other plans. The dude plants himself right in front of the entrance meters from a supply depo.
finding myself facing half the enemy team with little more than a small blaster turret, a vehicle I usually two shot in rail tanks, and every enemy in front of me fingertips away from AV fits you can figure how I thought this was going to go. so might as well get a few damage markers on some enemies with the blaster turret.
Not only do I end up killing half the force facing us before any of them gets into and AV fit, as soon as we start taking damage this Dropship pilot dose some of the best Low altitude flying I've seen and gets us out of there, through the tight spaces of the command center itself, and right into another battle on the other side of the command center.
The pilot then goes on the show me how you keep a dropship out of sight and out of mind of the enemy while keeping the dropship gunner in range. But not all good things last forever and finally one of the enemies forge guns us out of the sky. we both survive the crash, and the match ends.
Now I did well as his gunner, 12 kill streak, but he was the true hero of the peace keeping us in the air as long as he did. I would have loved to just rode with him if head been in an assault dropship just to see what he could do.
Moral of the story if you find a good dropship pilot value them as they are a real asset to your team, or corp. and they have far more rolls to play for you than a HAV or LAV pilot. So next time you see a good Dropship pilot show him some love. |

A tactic I am well aware of. I was simply emphasizing the fragility of the dropship not commenting on its speed and yes in an ADS you can kill me if your gunners and you concentrate fire when I'm driving a Sica. hasn't happened to me in a Gunlogi yet but i'm sure you could do it if you tried. |
