should i also mention that damage mods r the problem when it comes to the forge guns?

maybe u r being shot down by a breach forge?.

as thats the only variant that can ohk mostly any vehicle..

the reg fg and assault forge gun r better vs infantry than vehicles.

if u r complaining about losing derpships to a fg run an armor repper on your ship..

it will save it from falling to the ground if u r fast enough.

1 is needed, I'd like to point out that assault weapon variants have higher ROF and lower damage.

Troll away, denial is expected.

well the dropships on this game are more like flying lavs any ways...

only if u wanted to kill some1 u had to land on them..

which wasnt hard to do before the lav bumper nerf.


and my adv unspecced into assault fg cant even ohk a viper.

the swarms are always the finishers..

the only problem with dropships is they cant support the team with gunfire when av is around in general.

but when they r completely ignored by the enemy team.

they become devastating killing machines.

the part of the assault fg u forget is that it cant hold the shot after its fully charged.

the only main reason to go to a high powered breach or a regular fg.

assault fg users r really the players that sit on top of a roof top killing every1 below them...

can get a pretty high kdr from doing it too..

until u start getting pinned by snipers...


the many times ive used my assault fg was on infantry.

id shoot at the occasional dropship that got to close or tried to touch down on my position but that was it.
after id run out of ammo id switch to smg and jump down into the battle below.

id just say its one of those guns that can actually hamper an enemy teams progress.


it might have the highest rate of fire of the other fgs.

but it takes more practice to be deadly with it as its all about timing your shots "CAREFULLY".

with a regular fg i could just hold the charge until i get a clear shot a pop some1 on the ground or accurately hit a dropship..

the assault version is just for spewing out as many rounds as possible.

it can actually assault a tank.
but id need a 5 round clip to take out some of the more powerful maddies.

its the only gun capable of working on the ground to.

and who would have thought that it works so great at killing players who want to run around with their proto logi suits with proto ars?

i dont think ccp intends to change dropships.

but a buff to damage resistance for it would be more effective in making av less annoying.

its not the hp that needs buffing its the damage resistance.

don't touch forge guns, that will hurt peoples feelings, just buff dropships.

START OFF WITH RETURNING THE CAMERA ANGLE TO WHAT IT WAS BEFORE YOU STARTED CHANGING IT!!!

It is honestly less work for you to just leave it alone, you created more work for yourselves that hurt us more. Now aiming is more difficult than ever because i have to aim through my dropship, and since i don't have stealth modules (I wish) i can't see through myself, i liked it better when the camera was above the dropship so you could see the entire ship, made it easier for shooting, aiming, and maneuvering.

Then apply all of your epic patch notes for vehicle update and bam done! (i hope)

I agree with you though maybe you should try starting a thread without automatically going on the defensive and pulling the woe is me everyone that disagrees with me is a troll crap.

No it doesn't it just makes you look like a mule headed fool, anyway I agree forge OP vs UP dropships especially after the changes to them in this recent patch, guristas assault forge 3 shotted my incubus before i even had time to bank and fly off last time i flew it.

It isnt proper to nerf a fg based on its effectiveness vs a dropship. After all dropships are not the only thing that a fg can shoot and should be effective against. If a FG was brought inline vs a drop ship then FG's would be crap vs tanks.
It would be just as flawed as nerfing a AR because it takes out scout suits too fast. Dropships are very much on the low end of the armor scale being considered light aircraft and not even medium (which is not yet in the game). Dropships are more in line with lav hps.

What all the DS pilots really should be doing is waiting for medium and heavy aircraft.

What you all really should be bugging ccp for is medium and heavy airframes.

I admire you're post, Thurak. (It's agreeing with mine, but LOL even if it wasn't in line with mine, I'd still admire it.)

Somewhere between our complaints and CCP's slow approaching return to "fundamentals" with vehicles, the Dropship is slowly (arguably "finally") being DEFINED.

It's an implied Transporter, for inserting or extracting mercs (meaning IN, can't stick around too long, then OUT)...
It's a LIGHT vehicle by classification, and pilots need to keep in perspective that "light" means it's never meant to take punishment from weaponry built to punch heavier targets than us...
And since the classification isn't likely to change, maybe we ought to be accepting it's defensive weaknesses as "sensible for its class", not request our enemy to be reduced just because of our adored DS, and close our book on the subject.

Well-centered perspective, Thurak. Thanks
