Grimmiers 0uter.Heaven 381	Posted - 2013.12.18 10:50:00 - [2] - Quote I run ads too and I often lose my 2.5k shields to one rail hit... and they are too expensive compared to other vehicles that can arguably do more work on the battle. SoundCloud Recruiter Link Pronounced Grim-e-urs
Ghosts Chance Inf4m0us 477	Posted - 2013.12.18 10:54:00 - [3] - Quote as a professional gunner and pilot in training ive noticed that hardeners and situational awareness are the only things that will save your ship. pythons particularly have be careful of the railgun, always checking to make sure the enemy redline is clear of them and only engaging targets while the hardener/s are not only off cooldown but also active. keep in mind that the assault dropships are a specialisation, and more expensive then say the myrons (the dropship equivilant to the std tanks) you can run VERY cheap myrons if you have gunners handy and dont mind not having your own gun, it helps to be squad lead for the orbitals, and the extra WPs to make up for it. even having a single gunner who is willing to split the cost of the ship 50/50 in a myron makes the cost of the dropships negligable

Go have a look at the price of the prototype large turrets and come back. Then realise that you're playing a role, and you're being charged accordingly. We can expect that Enforcers and Marauders will be comparably more expensive, too. >Cosgar: You know, tanks are actually paper thin once their modules are in cooldown.

Beld Errmon The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 1148	Posted - 2013.12.18 11:55:00 - [7] - Quote The price of the ADS reflects its value on the battlefield, cheaper would be nice but you need to remember its the only tier 3 vehicle still in the game, best decision ccp ever made not taking them out cause normal dropships are still terrible at using their gunners to kill things.

Alan-Ibn-Xuan Al-Alasabe Chatelain Rapid Response Gallente Federation 450	Posted - 2013.12.18 12:07:00 - [10] - Quote HAV hunting is a role that dropships are probably very well suited to fill now. HAVs can't run away from dropships when their hardeners are down.

HAVs can't run away from dropships when their hardeners are down. this! dropships are awesome at AV hunting, any dropship with a single gunner and a team of AV granade/flux toting AV infantry are instant tank killers, no escape. just an ADS with a single gunner will take out a tank easily when its hardeners are on cooldown and have the mobility to track it while it runs away. air dominance is definatly an effective anti tank stratagy now.

PARKOUR PRACTIONER Redline Defense Force Seekers of the Unseen 90	Posted - 2013.12.18 12:18:00 - [13] - Quote I save money by going really high, do a couple back and frontflips, and barrel rolls, using a militia dropship, and teasing installations and forgies whilst playing bait. And not crashing helps. 'Don't talk to strangers, shoot them.' Snow LOCKOUT You'd just LOVE to think it was the wind. Dropship Extremist

As for tank hunting.... for anything but a militia tank with a terrible driver, its almost mathematically impossible for an ADS to take down a tank solo, well maybe shield tanks can be destroyed outright but an armor tank can for the most part just soak it up, not something that bothers me honestly.
