depends on how you look at it, assault drops ships were an ill thought quick fix to making drop ships useful, not quite full gun ships they just strapped a turret to the front of the ship and didn't even bother making much of a new model. the controls didn't complement because they didn't spend much time on it.
now if they were doing a full redo of the vehicles wouldn't it make sense to just focus the dropships on being good drop ***** and create a gun ship class to take the place of an assault drop ship?
in the end I don't really know what they have planned, as stated by many they haven't been clear on this at all, you could be right and this could be a stupid waste of a ship, or it might be for the better, I don't ave the information to judge it yet.

Imagine how much happier that community would be with a proper Gunship to replace the ADS.
I really think that that's what should be pushed for. I would figure that you keep Logistics Dropships, add in a Black Ops variant with cloaking bonuses to move people covertly, and keep them in all cases fixed in the transport role.
A Gunship would be far more maneuverable and useful for supporting ground troops anyway.

If all you can think about is kills with a dropship then I honestly think you shouldn't be flying them as dropships are more designed or at least was intended to be transports and the ASD was a poor excuse of a gunship but thats just how I feel
What is with this argument? Look, you know what a gunship can't do that an ADS can do? Transport 4 players! If and when they add a gunship, I highly doubt it will have that many passenger thoughts. I know a lot of people may overlook this, but those four passenger slots is pretty huge to how I play my ADS. I will basically take my squad from base to base while providing aerial support (and freeing up one extra teammate who doesn't need to stay on board to gun). The ADS is not a poor man's excuse for a gunship at all! Rather it is an extremely versatile support vehicle, and a pretty important one to the current state of vehicle balance. Even if they were to add in a gunship, I would probably still use ADS most the time just because of how important those 4 passenger seats are to my play style.
I too am now beginning to fear CCP will never re-implement the ADS since this "gunships will make them obsolete" thing that's gaining steam. |
