Combat Piloting
was converting characters from another point-based RPG when I saw a skill with this name. I dnd't think too much of it, but thought I saw a Combat Piloting skill/advantage/technique (thinking technique) in another GURPS supplement...possibly a PDF download? can anyone direct me to where I should look?

Re: Combat Piloting
It's a variant of Combat Riding (Gun-Fu p 26, Martial Arts p 69, Tactical Shooting p 43, maybe others).
Combat Piloting improves your Piloting to control your vehicle in combat, and increases the cap on your weapon skill for attack rolls made while piloting.

Re: Combat Piloting
It would almost have to be an Perk or Technique, but I haven't had any luck finding it and don't know what it would be.

I doubt it's a perk since it's not in PU2.

Re: Combat Piloting
I believe it's a Technique, not an actual skill. I haven't messed with it too much myself, as I tend to use the chase rules or Spaceships combat rules for dogfights.

Re: Combat Piloting
GURPS' Combat Piloting is a Technique of Piloting, described in Gun-Fu and Tactical Shooting.
However, this does something different from Hero System's Combat Piloting, if that's what you're translating. Under Hero, a one-point Transport Familiarity with a category of vehicle lets you operate that vehicle safely under non-combat conditions. Hero's Combat Piloting is needed to get a vehicle's full DCV in combat, and generally to operate it under challenging conditions. Under GURPS, all of that comes under Piloting skill. GURPS' Combat Piloting is a Technique that does just one thing. Weapon skills are capped at Piloting under some circumstances. This technique lets you buy up Piloting for the specific purpose of raising that cap.
