Can you imagine MD rounds raining down from the sky?

1. people can be shot out of the dropship
2. dropship crashes they risk dying
3. the more people in your dropship the slower it goes = easy target
4. can you imagine 4 duvolles firing from my dropship
5. SL, forguns and AV still work on the dropship and risk killing the passengers
6. the dropship has to be positioned over the enemy to work effectively.
7. so, what? affraid of a bombing run with MD. thats what their meant for now get some AV...lol

MD user ehhh.

For the record, I'm also a dropship user.

I was simply saying that 4 MDs in a dropship would devastate ground troops.

I hate dieing but to see this happen, I am all for it. Could you imagine the possibilities. Low flying DP with HMG's firing away, or a Pink Floyd laser light show

logistic dropship with 2 cyclic missiles, max tank and 4 assault massdrivers= epic trololol. Cant wait for that. dowsnide is that you still need to land here and there to let your guys restock ammo. maybe switch 1 massdriver user for a swarm launcher for allround AV capability.

Same company different studios, one has near perfected the player feedback process, the other is still rolling on the floor after it fell over its first baby step.

my apologies i take back what i said and extend friendship. Also, MD bombing runs would be cool, but actually being about to hit ground troops would be difficult. still, in this way dropshipping can earn some points.

Accepted.

It would be nice to have the extra fire power, and it would give the dropship a better role...I just feel like it can be exploited(and know this community... It will be)

I could see it, but I think we need to have the Door button working (Square) and we also need the ability to stand up and crouch inside the dropship, or make it so when the doors are up our characters crouch and are unable to fire, but we're able to open the doors, they stand up and are now able to fire their weapons.

Not really... it can be a high mobility font of firepower but it's made of glass. There are multiple methods of dealing with it.

Only thing is perhaps restricting the use of Swarm Launchers from within it. Would become an incredible powerful anti-vehicular missileboat with a 400m range, able to negate pretty much all cover and operate outside of anyone's reach but other dropships... which it can take down if they try to approach.

Can you imagine MD rounds raining down from the sky?

well, the button does seem to work... but even if it closes slowly, its no biggy, even less reason for people to scream op.

they should still be able to shoot in the drop ship but because friendly fire is OFF for pubs no damage would be done.

^^. idk i use the x button and they open fine for me.

Also, they are exposed and when forguns hit my dropship my passengers die out. snipers hit my passengers out, and swarms if they hit the blunt side of my ship kill passengers.


all in all the dropship is made of glass and needs some fire power to justify its pitiful state.

Doesn't work, I've tried it many times :(
Also, my suggestion wasn't because of Friendly Fire, but it needs balance, If you're going to allow Infantry such an effective way from killing from a vehicle, you need a drawback, so they need to be fully exposed when they're firing from this position.

(Picture it, a Forge Gunner firing through the doors, or Mass Drivers doing more damage to people than missiles and yet are better concealed than the damn turrets)

Gave it a quick think, and the most logical drawback to balance things out is an accuracy penalty, turrets get the benefit of being accurate due to various stabilisers etc and being built into the vehicle, handheld weapons don't get that advantage. An accuracy penalty like this would force pilots to fly lower and slower to make passengers accuracy better, thus making them more vulnerable to AV.

am I the only one crazy enough to switch from pilot to passanger to use my assault forge on an enemy dropship chasing me and hopping back in the pilot seat. I might need to start practicing in case this ever happens

be careful no pilot makes you vulnerable to enemy forguns
