Drone Operator
Remote recon / strike
You leave your body at a station and fly a drone over the front — mark everything, strike soft targets, and stay safe behind the line the whole time.
Recon-Strike DroneThe role
Remote strike & recon — war from behind hard cover.
The Drone Operator fights from a screen. You scout ahead through walls of enemy fire that would kill any body, mark what you find for the squad, and drop FPV strikes on armor that never learns where the hit came from. Handled well, the drone is a scalpel — it removes the exact problem holding a push and nothing else.
The catch is your body. While you're flying, you're kneeling somewhere defenceless, blind to everything but the feed. Set up in deep cover before you deploy, and treat every second in the air as a second someone could be walking up on the real you.
War from a screen. Scout ahead, mark targets, and drop FPV strikes on armor that never sees you. Your body is vulnerable while you fly — set up in deep cover before you deploy.

Class tactics
Fly from hard cover
Pick a spot with a wall at your back and no easy approach before you ever launch. Your operator can't shoot back mid-flight — the whole play falls apart if a flanker finds the body, so make the body hard to find.
Save strikes for armor
An FPV drone eats a tank; it's a waste on a lone rifleman. Scout with it freely, but spend the munition on the vehicle or the dug-in hold that's actually stopping the push — the target infantry can't answer.
Scout, then commit
Fly the lane before the squad walks it. A marked map is half the fight — the ambush you spotted is the ambush that never happens, and the flag you cleared is the flag your team takes uncontested.
You feed intel to the whole squad and kill the armor an Engineer can't reach in time. Post behind the front, keep the lane ahead of the push mapped, and let the squad advance into ground you've already read for them.
