For Tankers!

Full racial parity (amarr, cal, gal, min tanks), bonuses for skills into tanks (i.e. Gallente tank blaster skill: F*CKING DISPERSION!)

Top small turret trajectory raised for defense again airborne targets, and make other two small turrets useful on tanks! (small blaster and missile are useless on tanks, and fit horribly)

Full racial parity so I can stop being forced to fit my gallente tank like an amarr tank to survive!

I get it CCP, Amarr and min tanks are hard to incorporate because of turret implimentation. An amarr scrambler or laser turret is going to be OP no matter how you cut it?! I just hope you guys figure it out

Dropships are hurting right now CCP! Don't forget them. o7

Do what I do

Train up your PLC and Galmando, get your hands on a Centurion if you can

Once you get into the proto tier or advanced tier with good proficiency/galmando investment you do devastating damage with every hit, and it packs a hell of a punch, knocking them out of alignment when they're trying to hit you.

If you're a decent shot and they're cocky enough to stick around, two hits kill just about any Python I've ever encountered, three if they're already hardened+extended or have a shield booster and can manage to pop it while shouting "OH **** WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL MY SHIELD"

Even if you don't kill it, you're pretty much guranteed +75wp on every single hit
I got nearly 1k warpoints from just hitting some decent, hardened ADS pilot who would strafe me, eat a KLA-90 round (+75wp), pop his shield booster, eat another PLC round (+75wp), then nope right off with an afterburner, only to come back for the same dance in a minute... and I would have killed him several times too, if my aim on the third round wasn't a bit off

Poorly fit or unhardened pythons will often go deep into armor from one hit and you can finish it off right away with your secondary weapon... like a mass driver, another plasma cannon, or hell, even a rifle, since python armor takes full damage from small arms because ccp.

And then you cause the poor Python pilot to have an aneurysm when deciding what hatemail to send you

I think it's the best compromise indeed, because ADS don't really need more buff, or the balance AV/ADS would be broken again.

For Tank Pilots.......

We don't Ask a lot, Just like for HAV

Advance and Proto ADS

More Customization Options

Skin mods for ADS

By the way ADS are FUN Anyway

Thank You!!!!!

the only way I would give ADS any love is in the form of a swarm launcher which has a damage profile in favour of destroying shields.

Forge guns and swarm launchers are cal weapons...
They get a damage bonus for armor... If I recall correctly.

That's basically the opposite of love lol. Pythons don't have enough total shields to escape a shield eating auto track weapon.

If anything, Forge guns should be anti shield.

the only way I would give ADS any love is in the form of a swarm launcher which has a damage profile in favour of destroying shields.

That bonus to rapid fire is worthless, trust me. As a dedicated Python pilot the python can be very powerful but making rainbow fart out of the pythons ass is more viable than that RoF bonus.

Nice fit!
I prefer incubus too :)

But I think that Python in right hands
Can Be Very Powerfull, it's Just different and

Its bonus on rapid fire on rockets is Very Nice

Incubus Can be Very good against HAV lav ADS.

Python is Very good against infantry

But yes if you hit a wall or something
than is game over lol

i fit my incubus with 2 complex armour hardeners and an armour rep, it works like a charm.

the python is just sh*tty to be honest

And shameless promoting of pilot suits (click my sig)

As for more love...

I just want AV vs vehicle include dropships too. It's forever AV v Tank in discussions. It'll be love just to be acknowledged by the community.

No, the only thing the ADS needs is One Extra High for the Inky and One Extra Low for the Python. As well as progression. End of story.

That's exactly why. Doing this only encourages the "stomp" of before. Keeping it the same throughout gives new pilots a chance. Also better basic fits.

My question was more of why should the standard have less slots than the proto, not why they shouldn't have more slots overall.

Why though? They did away with it for suits so there's no reason for different tiers of vehicles to have different slots.

How many slots do suits have?

It comes down to having so little slots means stagnation of fits, which means boring gameplay. More slots = more fits = more fun, even if you have to lower base stats to make up for it.

The extra slot would have to entirely depend on where it goes.

It might honestly break balance if you put an extra high slot for the python, and definitely the inky would be nigh unstoppable. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see my craft get the justice it deserves, but if you're not careful, the age of aerial destruction will return, which would result in them getting molestered by those CCP and AV nerds.

Why though? They did away with it for suits so there's no reason for different tiers of vehicles to have different slots.

The slots would be for tier changes -1 for basic +1 for proto, ADV being the current.

ADV needs 0 changes (bar maybe an overall PG buff for Python) and no change to cost.

Simply put, 100k BSC, 200k ADV, 400k PRO.. the slot difference would be part of the changes

CCP!!

Basic ADS, remove 1 slot from current build and cut the CPU+PG with the price (easier for new pilots to train)

Proto ADS, add 1 slot to the current build and boost the CPU+PG with the price

I'd hope this change would not be impossible and it makes life easier for low skilled pilots and those with SP invested.

No. Keep slots the same and only do fitting space. It's perfect as it is now.
