an assault Dropship is designed to destroy vehicles and kill infantry.. that requires hanging around the enemy location and engaging with the horribly inaccurate turrets that also hinder the flight path of the ship making control incredibly difficult.
On top of trying to aim, the turrets do very little to enemy units seeing as the turrets available can be fitted to tanks along side the Large turret which can decimate nearly any targets in sight.
On top of the turrets being super weak, The forge gun will make quick bloody work of your 1 million ISK ship with 1, maybe 2 shots at least. And that damage isn't any less on an assault forge gun. That gun is ruining the game for the assault pilot, and quite frankly I am sick and tired of being taken out by them in my Python.
It is literally "impossible" to turn a profit using the Python. And for a player like myself with a very poor standard of dropsuit based combat, I depend on it to enjoy the game. So if I lose these ships nearly consecutively, how the hell am I supposed to enjoy the game?
I have played since the late days of the closed beta. If the Dropship isn't fixed come 1.5, then I hereby quit Dust 514.. Im tired of all the bs that us pilots have to go through, and you cannot argue that we are over powered, because any AV weapon of any kind can kill our ships in 3 hits. AV grenades, Railgun installations, forge guns, swarm launchers, flux grenades, even a bloody HMG can kill the ******* ship. FIX IT!

Assault dropships should be able to mount the same main turret/Missiles as tanks...
Same firepower but less HP. |

The assault FG does about half the damage of the breach version. But to drop ships it doesnt matter they dont have the hp's to survive much more than 2 shots from the assault forge especially if damage mods are involved.
I almost feel bad for dropships when i am aiming at them. The only thing more deadly than a FG is a swarm and that is primarily because there is a lot less human error in swarms.

Get your corpmates to help you pay for it. And get cycled missile launchers - No need for accuracy when you've got that much splash damage. |

This is what all of the dropship pilots say, you are not the first, and thanks to some unwanted problesm, we won't be getting our much wanted vehicle fix for at least a whole extra month. |

Alert to OP! Please note the following very important message.
We already know this. There will be no film at eleven.
Why? Because these forums must have hundreds of posts about this and most are even better documented.
No change is expected either. If you want CCP's thoughts on this, look for the video HTFU from CCP. It should explain their corporate philosophy very clearly. |
