Back when they ruled the skies and crushed unweary infantry with their underbellies. That was when pilots used to go 20-1 in a game.. ah the memories. Of course, this species of dropship is but a shadow of their terrifying ancestor. |

The horror...
Perhaps this is karmic retribution?

Pilots never went 20-1.
It was their gunners going 100-0 in fragmented missile turrets. |

I often went 20+ with few to no deaths in the before time, squishing people was awesome cuz you could come down full force and not even scratch your paint.
Now if you so much as see a lamp post....

Oh I remember that, it was my first impressions of this game and the reason I started to use forge guns. |

Yea because you could hover in place and spawn kill.
DS are kinda where they should be atm people just cannot be bothered to skill. I put a resistance amp on my dropship with my terrible vehicle skills and a couple of extenders and it takes 3 FG bolts to put it down. That seems reasonable given what the weapon is designed for, perhaps their range is too good or heavies can swing it around too fast but then you need to look at gameplay balancing in general.
Swarm launchers do **** damage against DS shields, and arent that spectacular against well armored hulls.
Oh yea remember the whole point of the dropship is to ferry your troops in place then GTFO? People who hover in place deserve to get blasted tbh. |

THEY STILL ARE! If you know how to equip it PROPERLY! I can take out ANY dropship with a 80k milita one! BAD mutha fka!
Bumper ships anyone?
I will even wait till the enemy calls one in and nose dive right into it! PRICELESS!
For 1 mill, I will share with you the "secret recipe"! |

Yup, pretty much what I use them for.
I originally bought a couple hundred dropships with the express purpose of being kamikaze ships for tanks and infantry. Didn't turn out so well. Now they handle the dropships of the enemy. Too bad they seem so rare.

In a correctly fitted dropship I van get 30 kills as a gunner I think dropships need counter measures but on the whole their ok. At the moment its the gear mismatch causing all the issues |

Ohhh my friend, yes they were. They didn't even need gunners to get 20+ kills.... They just landed on people. |

This whole thread is hysterical.
Also, I want to be a dropship pilot.
No, you can't bunny hop, but I hve this dream of sending 6 brave souls plummeting into the midst of a confused and angry horde, unable to understand why they can't just automatically win by mobbing around and murdering.
Then, when the 6 respawn, we take the other 3 objectives  |

At least there is still one almost survivable dropship. Go python! Chuck an XT-1 cycled on the front and you can kill things too. So with I had been around for the death bunnies. |

Not trying to troll, but I fixed it for you; it's not a gunship. |
