I just recently purchased a Super Hornet and holy shit this thing is a tank. I had no idea. I'm a shitty pilot and still managed to finish Vanduul swarm with one re-spawn to spare. Sorry about the potato quality, this is my first youtube upload so I have no idea what I did wrong. Recorded it in 1080p.

Edit: Never-mind about the quality. I guess it was still processing.

Yeah they made vanduul swarm much easier too recently.
I get it, finishing vanduul swarm isn't a great achievement anymore. I already said that I'm a shitty pilot. Still though, that SH took one hell of a beating and never gave up.

It's always been a pretty tough ship. My only problem with it was the single main engine. When you lose that, all maneuvering is gone. But otherwise, it can take a hell of a pounding.

Do the SH always fly sideways? Maneuvering in that beauty is fun. My pips are usually off the side of the screen. Not that it's an issue, just curious to know if here's a way around that.

I should state I have limited SH experience.

As far as I can tell it flies perfectly straight. Had to test it since I'm constantly strafing while dog-fighting. Until recently I've only been using the Vanguard warden, that's why I keep blacking out in the video. Not used to that much maneuverability. =P

Wait, the SH is more maneuverable than the Warden?

the warden weighs like twice as much and is huge. It also has massively more firepower and a turret that can either be linked to the main guns or manned.

Imagine you're driving in a truck going 80mph down a wet road. The maneuverability difference between the SH and Warden is like making a sharp turn in those conditions with new tires and with blown out tires, Warden being the truck with blown out tires.

Hmmmmm, I've flown the Warden quite a bit more than the SH, and I found the Warden felt more maneuverable. At least in respect to turning etc. I find there's a huge amount of drift on the SH, but not near as much on the Warden.

Also, in the Warden, how do you link the turret?
it's a planned feature. Apparently, it isn't implemented yet. The cutlass has the same feature, or rather, should have the same feature.
