DUST Search - 1.5 is OK..., I like the new weapons but

The damage buff to turrets was not enough to compensate for limited ammo, drop-ship can't kill a tank before running out.
Also, buffs to tank's and small turrets only make it harder for my DS to live or kill one in that battle.

The new "Stand and deliver" armor DS has hardly more EHP than the previous version of armor dropships but without the ability to rep during combat. Windows of engagement are even smaller than before before. Bail or die quicker than 1.4.
I get forge sniped when restocking ammo at supply depots which I need to park next to.

RDV's still collide with my dropship costing me millions. Shields are the new FOTM dropship, which is fine except that they're also terrible because they're just as weak as they used to be.

The camera is still broken and we can't see behind or around us while flying, why couldn't we get a 3 way toggle between 1.3, 1.4 and first person?

Also turrets are bugged and the AV weapon is OP

edit: forgot, rendering was not fixed, think it got worse

You cant expect a DS even an ADS to be able to stick around for too long, an armour based dropship is designed to able to do LALO/LANO drops whilst providing covering fire to clear the area, it allows the aggresive deploymemt of troops at the enemy frontline. Meamwhile a sheild based will be more suited to covert ops, and rapid deployment or extraction, when covering fire isn't needed.

I know right, using a dropship to 'drop' troops is a novel idea I know!! Dropships at the moment don't really have much that makes this easy though, they should provide covering fire, but theh shouldn't be expected to sit around for too long, they are after all medium weight class!! However check my thread "Vehicle Interplay - Equipment" for some ideas on making dropships more viable in there role!!
