    So how about that combo transport-attack craft ???

    Personnally, I don't fly pilot seat. Now I tried the back seat and with two engie that thing could do a lot of infiltration and damage... And with two heavies it can pack a mean punch; especially if one of the two engies can drop ammo pack once in a while.

    But IMHO it no gunship or Gal. It can plug a hole in the line but with 6 persons onboard it cannot reasonably cap a techbase or up. An outpost or a ghost cap is more its style
    Mind you it's a first impression and on Hossin at that. I'll wait for your opinions on flying it in the canyons or over the snow.....

    Its more suited towards rapid troop transport. Get in, drop, and get out. Its worthless in direct confrontation because the things pathetically weak. I can see it possibly being used as a hit and run vehicle too, much like the harasser you get in deal some damage and hide before they know what hit them and repeat. The Valkyrie is alot like a helicopter, great for flying low, flying in and around terrain where other vehicles might have trouble following.

    The Valkyrie is more maneuverable than an ESF but that's it tight spaces, up high the ESF has the huge advantage as it will out maneuver anything the Valkyrie attempts in the wide open skies. Unless you have heavies with air lock-on its a game of cat and mouse, you're more than likely going to lose in a direct confrontation with any ESF.

    Not sure what is happening to everyone else, I personally love the valk in ESF Vs. us fights. I think that people try to bring the Valkyrie to fights that a lib would be fine at (48-96 fights). That just doesn't work because of the mass amounts of flak.

    I love my valk and I will fite all you m9's

    Sorry but in that video those pilots are GARBAGE! You can 2 clip a valkyrie and its dead. So it is bad but you just fought even worse pilots.

    It is not liberator. Enough said.

    I did do something fun with the valk though: pilot swooshes by a armor filled spot, light assaults hop out and choose a sundie to go for, C4 that baby, blow it up. It's aninteresting an effective strategy. Other than that... I don't see much use for it.

    I think that is the fundamental use of it, though; that or stuff like it. Terror drops to break up firing/tank lines.

    Whether it's fit for purpose at the moment might be more debatable? I think people need at least a little while to get used to flying it before it's clear.

    Valkyrie is for organized coordinated 6+ teams - drops of heavies or light assaults on armor and points, never stopping, keeping hidden, fly to the target, drop and then go hide, don't get too attached to it.
