that one's funny: while you're flying alone you can switch seats and use the tormentor's machine gun and fire down on the infantry. the tormentor will hover for a short time and then lose height. when it starts losing height, switch back to pilot's seat and give boost. try it

sounds like a old trick but of course usefull, especially for people who don't know it

btw something similar was with a custom vehicle in UT04 which had laser turrets in second seat and the vehicle would hover even without pilot.

Then again, you shouldn't be flying alone.People who jump in and drive/fly away piss me off!

Joe999 · 06-22-2007, 07:09 PM

that's why you should always check the radar and see who's running towards you before you hit the pedal

The gunner's Hyperblaster in the Tormentor is currently not a very effective weapon. Unless you're transporting someone to a far-off location, the person riding in the gunner's seat would probably be more useful to the team when on the ground.

Why is that ?

Dark Matter · 06-23-2007, 03:51 PM

The hyperblaster is weak, has a slow rate of fire (compared with, say, a 6000 rpm gattling gun) and isn't accurate. The missiles are more effective. Give the gunner a missile that locks on, then I would probably be asking for a gunner.

BTW, has anyone noticed that in the driver seat, you can shoot the plasma cannon at the same time as Strockets, even when you haven't unlocked the plasma cannon?

I also like it that if you are in the gunner seat and the pilot jumps out it displays a message telling you that they have bailed. handy to see so that u dont crash and burn.
