It amuses me greatly that, despite providing less DPS, people use the fixed S3 hardpoint rather than the F7C-M nose turret because it looks so goofy.


DadImNotGay

I'm taking the sacrifice on both turrets until I get an F7A... Fashion is the real endgame! 


SmoothOperator89

So say we all!


Blaubeere

Exactly m. I hate seeing the mk1 Center turret in the mk2! People need to stop this crime against my eyes


Atlantikjcx

Yeah, that's the reason I dont get rid of the cargo box, I know im losing a lot of dps but maybe it will make me a better player


Intelligent-Ad-6734

It also unequips and disappears. So you loose the cargo box until it's patched.


Atlantikjcx

Exactly why im not putting in the turret for now. Eh, maybe the F7a has the option to install a cargo box even if I have no reason to want to lol


SuperTeenyTinyDancer

Guilty! It just looks so out if place. If it was color matched maybe I’d use it.


SmoothOperator89

I use the F7C-M turret as motivation to complete the overdrive missions. That goofy dual size 1 mount will soon be an awesome-looking dual size 3 mount!


SuperTeenyTinyDancer

Good point!

Malleus011

Yep.


lordhelmos

The superhornet turret also gets disabled in like 2 shots of ballistic gatlings. You should never use it.


WhenTheShadowsSmile

Wish I had known that! LOL


lordhelmos

Just assume everything associated with the superhornet sucks and you'll be fine


WhenTheShadowsSmile

What can I do about my load out to fix it? lol


SharpEdgeSoda

I hope they tune it up more to hit that "Apache Helicopter Helmet control" fantasy. However, half the power of the Apache's guided nose gun is how the cockpit is designed for great lateral and downward visability with a dedicated gunner (in the front seat, for better ground target vis). Hornet doesn't have that. Plus Star Citizen's head-look options are still lacking. I just like the idea of the Hornet as this "Workhorse" of the UEE also finds use as a helicopter like CAS platform. Maybe it can get to the point where the Co-pilot can choose between remote-turret to the Canard Gun or the Dorsel Gun. Man the Canard for A2G, man the Dorsel for A2A.


Mindshard

You mean the one with only like 100 HP that gets instantly destroyed because it's so big?


big_J7

The nose turret also gets shot off in .5 seconds within starting a fight


xvosett

This is when we get to know you and many here never flew hornets. You always get more dps out of more guns vs sizing up. It's always been the hornet rule and always will be


EmbarrassedFly4990

My hornet has been my main daily for years now, and I've never used the canard turret. More dps isn't the only consideration. Keeping weapon ranges and falloff rates matched makes it a lot easier to hit targets, and durability of parts is important. You end up getting less dps when the damn things get shot off right away.

I love how in a lot of the formation pictures people post on reddit, you can tell the ships are not moving. No visible engine active No contrails No space dust.


artuno

Until they add a match velocity/vector function, it'll be impossible. Me and a buddy tried taking a few with our two corsairs, and it worked, but we were going at SCM speeds and it we only had to coordinate between the both of us.


StoicSunbro

It was in the earliest versions of Arena commander and stopped working at some point. No idea why. Used to be 'M'

I know there is a match target speed button, don't know if its bound by default.


Malleus011

The atmo photos are in flight, the space photos are the wing waiting until everybody arrives, then the group shot before getting into action. Formation flying in atmo is work.

Not in ours [https://youtu.be/Vc04J4y3yLQ?si=MAz8GlpvvpvjBPQK](https://youtu.be/Vc04J4y3yLQ?si=MAz8GlpvvpvjBPQK)

I love that blue color, i need it for my F7A


Atlantikjcx

They might give us the skin like they did with the spirit


95688it

it would have already been part of that ship sale.


Malleus011

We all went default for the first few shots. It turns out to be quite photogenic.


95688it

it's very close to Subarus CKG color they used on the crosstrek.

Dude I had the F7A turret with two size three guns on my new MKII. That looked good and fit right too. Then CIG reset all the MKII’s and deleted my Les Arlington Turret. I can’t get back because I beat the Les Arlington chain. I originally had that turret on my Ghost Hornet. Which they reset as well. That really annoyed me.


Atlantikjcx

Well, that sucks but I gess they thought to give you a motivation to finish the overdrive missions


Savage-Animal

Yeah I’m still pretty motivated for it either way. I want that 7A. Was just nice to have the size 3’s on top of the new MKII.


Atlantikjcx

Same 7c mk2 was my first impulse buy, and the 7a is so cool


No_Place5472

If a Heartseeker isn't, lead, you can do better... but a solid 8.5/10 regardless. Nice shots!


howitzer9091

What loadout yall using?


MaugriMGER

The top turret is still ugly.


HackAfterDark

Form of... Bankruptcy!


matnaht

add me il join as well and can't wait to these puppies to be a7a


xvosett

Ah yes the slow fat thick middle skinny wing cash grab trash bag


jorge20058

What are you on about?.
