YES! YES! THAT'S IT! PERFECT! Death from above! Can't really shoot while pulling off that jump, but that range and speed are insane! |

its a bug, but honestly should stay. I'm actually not super-excited about it...yeah it's cool, but it's very rare that I'd ever want to up in the air that long, especially when I can't shoot while maintaining altitude. A *slight* buff to allow Home Beacon --> Center Beacon on Yam is all it really needs. |

Very impressive! Shooting while trying to extend Glide is a bit labor intensive, but it can be done. Of course, you can't pull off that kind of distance and you can't keep up continuous fire but I've finished of a lot of Reds who thought they could hide behind cover or run away.

It's easy with a controller. I have the ability set to R3 on a ps4 controller so I just click the stick as I aim and shoot while flying away. |

You can burn the excess gas that you regenerate (because of the low ceiling, the regeneration kicks in immediately) to get over hills, buildings, etc or create turns, add speed etc.As long as you have about 1/4 tank and tap quickly you can regenerate that to full in flight, multiple times
The whole reason you would want to fly that long is the speed. I didn't watch the video but what I'm saying is you can fly VERY fast(like 150-200km), forever
And you can shoot aphids to make that easier...
The kicker is getting getting everybody on you. I have reds falling down the ravine looking for me...

I saw a red in an Ecu Hover try this but the problem was they played it first and moved on our beacons quickly; so we all saw it and chased it down. They should’ve brought it out 2nd or 3rd when people are in the thick out it and less likely to notice.

I've flown a Hover for quite some time. The range/speed is nice but if you in the air that long you're dead!
You can last a little longer with PS.

if only that kind of longterm flying tactic was practical. lol... basically the floating pinata tactic on steroids!
Still think Hover needs an Legendary Pilot that offers REALLY good damage reduction while flying.

Shhhh, don't tell Pix!
Is that for IOS? I can't seem to duplicate it on Android, although I do go further than I usually do.

Still think Hover needs an Legendary Pilot that offers REALLY good damage reduction while flying. Hover can get well over 300k HP without running Boosters. Especially with Tier 4 Armor Expert. Even a 10% DR is significant. 20% would make Hover Meta. |

Even a 10% DR is significant. 20% would make Hover Meta. exactly. as it stands, it can get a healthy amount of HP, but sadly, pure HP has become somewhat ineffective compared to DR, and evasion skills. I would drool over ANY level of DR for hover during flight and would be so excited to go back to it... sadly, i cant even justify a reserve space for it in my "for fun" hangar since it still gets wrecked faster than most my other T3 and lower bots, and has less utility than many. but that hover action is so so so fun... jeez this discussion makes me wanna end my break and bust it out for the gliding giggles, but id be worried of sheer disappointment at how fast it would get wrecked... hmmm |

That should do the trick. But yeah, 25% DR IN ADDITION to those Pilot skills would be sweet |

haha i wish, its now too expensive to run a temporary solution pilot with rerolls, random T1 thru T4 chances, and having to spend to level up new skills...
for now, unless they did something drastic, no more new pilot/bot rerolls for me! (drastic being, fix the pilot cost system, or making something amazing like a Hover buff, rarely do we see classic bots get much more than a few more points of speed or health tho...)
