As opposed to DUST Fiend, I have skilled into the ADS with 3M SP or so right now, and I am having a good time.
I Don't see issues with Swarms,
I don't see issues with AV nades, I fly
Forge are okay, unless it is the Proto assault version
Railgun turrets, missile turrets an installation can be a pain, but management.
Yep, the worse as a DS pilot is the Forge gun. I am not a Forge hater, I got my proto heavy too.
But we need to keep in mind we have lvl 3 vehicles and modules, and lvl 5 forge, turrets, swarm and whatever.
I think DS should get a health buff, but it wont solve the issue, since we don't want it to be indestructible. I can call an orbital with a 3 men squad (1 gunner and me) in my ADS in some games where I don't get bothered by AV reds.
We need maps with less opened space, a lot more buildings.
DS blows when the map is an open field. Just because you can't hide.
But it doesn't fix the base issue.
Other than that, they should check the cost of the actual, a lvl3 ADS fitted with proto turrets is 1.2M i$K, ridiculously expensive when you encounter a invisible RDV or a single forge gun on a tower focusing on you.
Fixes to do since a while :
CRU WP
Gunner turret glitch (aiming too low down bring turret up)
Side doors auto-opening/closing annoyance when low altitude
Aiming through ADS in 3rd person, no aiming in 1st person without ADS tilting.
RDV collision
engineering skill=no pg bonus
High cost
Turrets ranges vs new damage fall off
HP buff as the others vehicles
LAV reduced survivability And a Forge adjustment.
Invisible map patch of terrain in the air, causing direct blow up. (few spots)
etc.
etc.
I lose a ADS once every 5 games or so right now, mainly to Forge or RDV crashing me when I hover over reddots.

At some point down the line you will hit a patch where you just get pissed off, and I mean really pissed off, rage quitting dust and ranting on the forums pissed. Every pilot I know of has gone through something like that at least once, I've been through it, and it's a rather crappy experience, I still enjoy flying but my optimism and hope for dropships has taken some major beatings.
Choose your maps in ambush, you will get some more chances to enjoy them. My enjoyement will vanish as well at one point, but for me, that's the time to try something else. Hell, I rarely use my 12M SP heavy now because it got boring. |
