No
Add fighter jets and attack choppers since thats what you guys really want, drop ship is just some cheap ass sky taxi

Not really, I want to be able to transport / pickup my teammates without getting two/three shotted out of the sky. Also, I get alot of kills in my Python as it is, I don't need to have a gunship to wreck the battlefield. But to be able to be shot down by one forge gunner is a bit over the top.

Ever seen Black Hawk Down?

Sorry for the quick assumption, thats what it seems like most pilots want
And really I dont think getting shot down by one of those is that outrageous, aircraft are generally pretty fragile things
You want to talk adding flares and other counter measures though Im all for that but just throwing on more resistance and health is a bad way to balance IMO

Yeah, I remember one guy getting killed by one bullet from one assault rifle. Because if you're thinking one RPG can take out a helicopter, then one bullet should be able to take out one guy. Oh wait, it's a video game and your character can withstand full clips of assault rifle fire. You're saying vehicles shouldn't do the same?

Just pointing out that helicopters go down easy... and admittedly you are taking fire from a slug fired at hypersonic speeds.....

Yeah AV is so fair in every way..or NOT.

What does a render bug have anything to do with balance?

Thats like saying shotguns should get buffed because half the shots dont register.

Flares maybe able to counter swarms but I don't see them stopping a hand-held bolt of plasma travelling at speeds of thousands of m/s. The only way to balance things out is add an incredible shake on charge for the forger, longer charge times or a reduced damage fix. Or just beef up the dropship to be able to withstand a single forge gun clip.

\Because, my gallente friend, if we can't see infantry because they haven't rendered, how can we counter the threat of AV? Or prepare to avoid the anti-vehicle users entirely? I mean, they already wield weapons that have an unfair advantage of power over dropships, and now they don't even render! It's widening the gap even more, costing us, as Judge pointed out in his video, even more ISK! Nice video by the way, Judge.. as always!

You do know forges in this game don't travel at thousands of m/s. If it was like that then it would instantly hit you.

Dropship are OP I can't one shot them with my forge gun

Dropships cannot outrun swarms easily. That friend is a myth. The circumstances have to be just so. An afterburner is the only way to get a 90% chance of escape. The only other way is to be is a position where you are of no use. You can escape but what good were you doing anyway. It's like saying that a shotgunner can avoid death easily, but he has to hide all match and compromise his fit to do it.

I could quite easily post videos where i am already traveling at full speed (non afterburner) and swarms still catch me. Sometimes its only one or two but you normally get hit. I even have footage of me flying at full speed toward a group when the swarms are launched from just in-front of me. They go behind me then catch up.

Perhaps from the ground it looks like the DS escapes, but it only looks that way. I'm doing a swarm video at the moment. I hope to show those that have limited and incomplete knowledge like you Bright Cloud you what they are really like.

Foxhound you are pulling out assault dropships on public matches, you do silly things like flying underneath a building and then complain that you cant escape cause you got yourself into a nasty situation. And you forget that the dropships can outrun swarms quite easy so the forgegun is the only weapon at the moment which can shot you down. So you want to remove/nerf the only weapon system that is a threat to you.
