Topic: What are your Vehicle Tips?

We've discussed a lot of topics at these forums, but one topic I'd like to hear more about is how players can best use their vehicles. What tips (or tricks!) have you learned in your gametime?

For instance, in the past couple weeks, I've found out that speeders can fly faaaar into the air with a ramp and Shift key, that pilots don't need to spin B-Wings with a mouse-- they can just hold the X key, etc.

I actually don't have much knowledge on FirstStrike tips, except what I read in the FAQs. I'd also like to get some of this info into the wiki, so forum-members and wiki-goers can master their fav-vehicle more easily.

Re: What are your Vehicle Tips?

I'll add a couple more ones I know--

* Tie-Bombers have ion cannons too (F key, I think).
* Kill walkers with a well-placed missle to their rear exhaust-ports.
* Kill speeders with a well-dropped proximety mine. Kills the rider, steal his ride!

lol - just make sure you don't ride over your own, as with Friendly Fire on, you can take yourself out - as I did last night tongue

My tips:

* if your in a walker and cannot work out where incoming fire is coming from, go to an external view (c key default?) its far easier to see, especially if hostile is underneath you smile Also easier to steer on Endor Strike Team map.

* You can repair the Imperial reconn remote by parking next to the speeder spawn posts.

Park your at-st over the spike pits on endor, that way some noobs with a bomb get impaled.

Attach the homing beacons to allied and enemy ATSTs. If yo uar einside it will tell you exactly where the infantry are if they are below your cannons, and if it's an enemy then you will know where he is at all times.
