Nguruthos IX Vagina Bombers 1201	Posted - 2013.08.30 00:25:00 - [1] - Quote What they might be, how they might work, what they could look like? Roles, fittings, weapons? We have so far seen every single vehicle to some capacity yet not heard a single word about heavy air vehicle types. We've seen Jets, MAVs, bikers, racial variants of every current vehicle. art work for all of this and some talk about how they'll operate. Even MTACs have been recognized to a small degree but there is one vehicle type missing from all plans it seems. Why so mysterious?

The are known as militia Dropships, The only problem is that they come with minimum armor and shield but they handle like an heavy air Vehicle.
Obodiah Garro Tech Guard General Tso's Alliance 300	Posted - 2013.08.30 00:32:00 - [3] - Quote Would be sweet if they were like a DS but the 2 gunners have a face down position and are protected like gunners in current HAV, slowly just fly over objectives and bomb the **** outta them
Nguruthos IX Vagina Bombers 1203	Posted - 2013.08.30 00:33:00 - [4] - Quote ITT we speculate over the reasons for this void
Billi Gene Forty-Nine Fedayeen Minmatar Republic 366	Posted - 2013.08.30 00:44:00 - [5] - Quote no reason to have Heavy Aircraft till we can get onto bigger maps where they won't dominate so much. hopefully they look like a large house... only covered in automated turrets, and move about as fast :) Can i has a "tracer fire- YES PLEASE"?

Do tanks dominate now? The reason for Jets not being in was "Maps are too small, they move too fast for small maps". Well, a Heavy Air vehicle would be huge and slow. I hardly see it dominating anything other than the attention of every single AV capable player on the field (AKA everyone).

Why so mysterious? you know the bolas is only a medium aircraft so they would need to make a new RDV to bring in these 'heavy aircraft'. i can't wait for the 500 WP for shooting that thing down and then the 150WP for w/e heavy aircraft was called in.

Logi Bro Greatness Achieved Through Training EoN. 2122	Posted - 2013.08.30 01:35:00 - [11] - Quote Imagine a tank that could fly. That is essentially what a heavy aircraft would be, and it would totally dominate.

A heavy Dropship will get hit by every Swarm, FG and Turret on the field and die a little bit slower than current dropships.

They could make the heavy aircraft fly itself in and keep the RDV the same.

I don't think you realize the potential of a railgun that sits high up in the sky. It would be OP to say the least, regardless of the amount of priority it receives from AV. Frankly, it would just hurt tanks more to release these gunships.

It would be OP to say the least, re It it can shoot something, it can be shot, it'll just be the aerial version of the tanks that pop and shoot. Drop down take a shot, get hammered by AV then fly away. No different that current redline tanks.

I think it'd be slick if we could get some kind of heavy gunship with dual Light turrets on fixed mounts for the pilot, and a Medium turret underneath for a gunner.
Nguruthos IX Vagina Bombers 1214	Posted - 2013.08.30 02:20:00 - [18] - Quote Well there should be large turrets for heavy air vehicles. and medium turrets for some other class of medium air vehicle. Dropship says medium but its currently the lightest of all vehicles, even LAV. So there must be some type of medium gun ship, and then a heavy gunship with respective turrets.
