I have asked about return of the ADS as was-ish, it's role was extremely well cut out and distinctive and should serve as a staple for future roles.

I am still also asking about the state of AV weapons overall and something given to the public; not the few I know that are getting adjusted performance wise.

I would still rather they put together a proper Gunship-type vehicle based on a similar flight model to replace the Assault Dropship, as I've never been fond of what appeared to be this necessity to have Dropships be the ONLY option when it came to aircraft.

A proper Gunship would be a wonderful and much needed replacement for the ADS, and I'm hoping this also means we'll never see the pile of fail known as the Bomber Dropship sully our skies.

Couldn't agree more with the bomber dropship, However I disagree with what you said about the Assault Dropship. A lot of people think that the Assault dropship is a 'gun'ship but this is simply not the case. It is still a dropship, designed for transporting a small squad around the map fast with more fire power than a standard dropship, hence the name 'Assault' Dropship. I would love to see a proper gunship, maybe have it be a heavy aircraft? but this is a discussion for another thread.

Right, I realize it isn't a Gunship, but I frequently see it used as one, and the loss of two seats really hampers its ability to act as a troop transport. I guess it puts me in mind of the difference between the Hueys and Little Birds in Battlefield 3. The Little Birds have guns, but have less seats and no side guns, trading those for being faster and far more maneuverable. I'd love to see an ADS redesigned to have no internal seats, but rather have the occupants on the outside and able to fire their weapons from the aircraft.

Can someone provide a link to the source of this info? Much appreciated You can see it in the past on the vehicle update sticked to the top of this section of the Forums. The ADS is not in the charts they gave us, and it has been confirmed that that is because it is being removed for the time being. Notice that I DID say "time being" and not "permanently".
