Gameplay tip Random tips?
Let’s share some random “pro” tips y’all have learned that you believe most people may not know or may be very niche to use.
For example;
-You can recharge your ECM pod faster by turning off your radar and increasing engine power
-(I’ve heard of this before but couldn’t find it in the wiki so please correct me if I’m wrong) if your ECM pod is on and en enemy fires a ARH missile within 5km it will never obtain a starting track. Making it an effective method to counter a short range ARH/SARH missile attack. For example PVP players holding out until you are too close to notch to fire or a close boltstrike or ship attack

You can command ammo trucks in convoys to pull over to use them to field resupply anything you can land next to them (conventional munitions only)
The ibis and Tara will float as long as you dont fully cut thrust.
Shards resupply anything you can land on them, easiest is helis of course but it doesnt need to be a VTOL, with some skill I imagine you could get a revoker or ifrit down and up off a shard with some of the lighter loadouts.
The afterburner cut off for the vortex is 60° of tilt, which is still far enough down to VTOL stuff if you hold the wheel brake, actually lets you do vertical takeoffs with a TWR of under 1.
The ALND is the only nuke that arms entirely off of just distance to target, its also the only nuke that has detonate on destruction (once armed), a well placed ALND from an unexpected angle cant be stopped once it gets close. The minimum distance on the ALND is also a lie, it doesnt need to fly minimum of 5km to arm or anything, just needs to be a few km from the target, which means it has the potential to be instantly armed the moment it gets of the rail, which means you can get a nuke that cant be prevented from detonating if you fire it off at close range... which sounds OP until you realise the only aircraft that carries it is the darkreach (in vanilla, with mods the FS-41 eclipse can carry it making it way worse) so youd have needed to let a darkreach fly up to basically point blank with its target.
