Rockets and gunpods are close-quarters weapon; just use them to mop up after threats have been dealt with. Even so, you can use those from 2km, while the average MG won't reach beyond 1.5km.

Don't worry about how to dodge, worry about staying out of reach in the first place.

Bah, that's no fun. Draw your sword and charge for victory and glory!

Should have seen me circling that convoy.

Just need to trim it properly for the hover-hold to have enough input to actually hold. If you're drifting, press and hold the trimmer, manually correct so it stays in hover and release. Hover-hold will take care of the small adjustments needed to stay in hover; it can't bring you into one while flying at 80km an hour (not a good one anyway).

Up and running, be there in 30mins.
