How to solo fly Dervish in a few simple steps. 1. Use Drift(you can use something else but Drift is better and learning to fly with Drift will pay off in the future). 2. Use the Flying Pancakes version of a reverse manoeuvre to avoid getting crowded and falling into enemy ESF pace of hover fighting. Fly in a straight line tilted very slightly upwards, give it a little boost for speed and hold one of the yaw keys(turn left/right) while swapping to your gunner seat. Congratulations! You are now sliding away in a direction while your Dervish is maintaining its rotation and you have a nifty gun you can use to fire backwards with to make use of the time! XAT can fire ~2 times before you want to swap back to the pilot seat. Once back in the pilot seat, you are now fully facing the enemy again because the Dervish did a 180 rotation. Its a fairly easy technique to use and when used well it kinda negates a lot of the problems a Dervish has when fighting ESFs as well as gives you some advantages.. but it does require at least some proficiency with flying and aiming the Dervish with Drift frame to begin with so its not so simple. It does feel good when you do manage to pull off a nice rotation, pop them with one or two XAT shots only to finish them off with your already perfectly aligned nosegun after having done a 180 turn. Stylish as heck. So some of the hidden or non-obvious benefits of this is: Starting a reload before you swap seats means that the weapon is reloaded when you swap back which is a big efficiency/DPS increase on its own. While your main gun is reloading you are in the turret shooting, while the turret is reloading you are in the pilot seat shooting. Normal ESFs being more agile when in hover mode means they are both harder to hit but also have better aim as the movement of the ESF = how they aim, making them give chase after your tasty Pancake pulls them out of hover mode so they are not as agile anymore... and now you are in your turret shooting at a target that is likely flying in almost a straight line towards you(up/down thrust can still make you miss if you aim straight at them). Flying Pancake also has a slim profile unless you see it from above/below so flying away while rotating generally makes you a smaller target than allowing the ESF to be in hover mode to quickly use their boost to gain elevation or fly below you where they can shoot the massive surfaces. Thanks for coming to my TED talk about rotating pancakes in the air.
Not to take this off topic (I really want to get good at flying Dervish), but I noticed your channel header says youbused to do WWR content. I played WWR and War Robots in the good ol days; care to comment when you stepped off the crazy train?
Oh, boy, oh boy. I was playing allllll the way past hover, if I recall correctly. Shocktrain, the dash bots, and the little suicide destrier (hellburner?) had come out, and so had the new quad-bots (waylon, intruder(?), and another). I had been playing since way back before the rating system, back when the most overpowered thing was just various rhino loadouts and like maybe low teir aphid gepards, back when the boa was still considered a good robot and before they fucked up the Golem's weapon placements. I still miss that game alot, or at least what it used to be.

You should do just ganeplay videos. Id love to watch you fly dervish :D
I probably should, actually.
@@theneef174 im still waiting
@@nathanielp60 I would have to get used to flying it again tbh.
