What other flying units can be piloted?

Post by forgottengames »

I understand that Archers, Furies, Scion Gunships, and possibly Bombers can all be piloted. However, I wish to know if APCs and other flying units can be piloted by humans in certain mods or patches...

P.S. It must be f**king wonderful to pilot an APC. Just imagine, being in control of dropping off soldiers and returning them to safety, and possibly even rescuing your own commander or fellow pilots from enemy territory... (without them relying on jetpacks or unit pick-ups)

all flying units can be piloted by humans. apcs will not just pick up any pilot they will only pick up the ones they drop.

To pick the player up and move them around? That's DLL. I am fully aware that you can pilot APCs via ODF.

That didn't seem like what he was asking, though.

The trend in newer games with vehicle sections is to stick the player in on-rails flying missions where the real pilot dies or whatever and sticks the player in that spot. Somehow having flying experience, you fly your passengers to safety while laying sci-fi waste on everything.

I can see where newer players would be wondering about this facet, seeing as BZ2 had a chance to lead in the development of this gameplay style but missed it.
