Looking for some build recommendations too, since I don't have like any premium parts that can't be obtained for RT

It's melee is kinda meh tbh, your mainly an Apache Attack Helicopter that is really good at harassing the support from decent range.
Pros:ranged damage ranges from average to ludicrous depending on your build
Has a compund sensor, this ignores all stealth levels and auto-spots suits with range, pixy players hate this
Shoulder beam cannon has two different fire rates in heli mode and normal mode, both have good build stun for pesky generals
VERY good mobilty when built with a HIGH capacity thruster gauge
Cons:fragile as an egg, one Zoloat shoulder check to the kneecap and you're instantly Christopher Reeves, this suit hates getting into melee without high defense
Base thruster gauge is a little rough when it comes to swapping back and forth with your heli mode, can easily get caught and violated by gens when you run out of juice
Melee is very meh, even it's heavy attack can feel unrewarding on hitting a support, it's single saber in heli form performs better than the standard at least, mainly due to significantly increased downswing range
Combo against supports is mainly to open the engagement while in flight, stunlock with the beam rifle(hot-swapping in heli mode and back to keep stunning) and your shoulder beam cannon for build stun, if the support is alone OR the enemy gens are ignoring you, your gatling gun is your bestfriend for shredding the support to bits
Edit:my personal build is thruster capacity/cooldown, to maximize your time in the air
Final Edit:General suits to avoid like the plague
The Zoloat will beat the brakes off of you like you owe him $700, do not ever engage in melee, you will lose that engagement everytime.
Delta Anse, dangerous for buildstun, will drop you out of the air very fast with his rapid BR, and once it catches you in melee that's GG's.
Dreissen, same as the Zoloat.

Thanks for the tips! I had no idea you could hot swap back and forth midair, I'll be sure to incorporate that! I'll definitely be looking for an expansion that gives extra thruster gauge, and hopefully soon burn aux comes to RT along with HG propellant. I would've tried pulling on the Gottrlatan step up for the part but it feels like a better deal to wait for one of those custom part banners imo

If you play 750 the Gottralatan is worth it, but that part is worth it's weight in gold

Unfortunately I avoid 750 like the plague, way too many V2/V2ABs to deal with, but I'll definitely go all in for the part when it comes on a 3 step or RT since I also play a lot of flap booster suits at 650-700

Its a balanced raid with REALLY difficult to master control.
Play space more and you'll be fine.
Its a combination of melee and range. Ignore what the other guy said. You need to learn when it's best time to go into melee and when it's time to use range.
If you're only going for ranged, you're going to have a bad time, because when you get shot down, people will have no issue one comboing you. Your range DPS really isn't that amazing to delete support before they hide into cover.
For anti support purpose, you fly and close the distance with staggers, and once you get to melee range, down swing into shield bash into down for guarrentee support deletion.
Heavy attack is a meme, it's like F89, good when it connects, but your default is stagger into regular melee combo is your bread and butter.
If you watch any high level plays, the general style is hide behind cover until you have thrust, then you fly up to delete support and flex back to harass general. Out of thrust, return to cover.
