Unless someone is using a proto breach forge that one shots all dropships (lame), I'm usually able to absorb the first forge and turn on modules + after burner and get away, so being a dropship pilot really isn't too bad in this case (of course, once they get multiple forge gunners it's game over). The real frustration with dropships comes from all the times you get rammed by an RDV or another dropship and all the times someone with a mass driver or flaylock is someone able to push your entire ship into a wall. I swear 90% of my dropships have been lost due to these stupid reasons and not actual AV. |

I must say that it is so much fun to be a ADS pilot
But my running tactic is once I start taking any sort of real damage, put on the afterburner and repper and gtfo for my life
All it takes is one guy running AV to render the entire map danger zone for my ADS
Shouldn't be like that imo
I run my Incubus with two of the 15% passive armor resistors, 1 efficient light repper, 1 60mm pc armor plate, an F-45 crisis control, and afterburner. Like you said, anytime you start taking any little bit of damage just turn on the modules and GTFO. Also try to swivel a bit to give forgers hard shots. Overall I think it's much better than the Python.
Really though I laugh at swarm launchers, even guys with wiyrkomis are a joke since you need to do is turn on your actives, follow his swarm trail, point your nose at him then boom, +50. It's the forge gunners who give me problems and only really because their forge shots have knock back on the dropship so I can't line up my shot.
Also there's a few maps that I never call in my Incubus because the redline rail turrets over see all. For instance, Spine Crescent is a big no no for dropships, you can be in your own redline under your MCC and the enemy rail turret in their redline can still hit you. |
