Have any of you actually seen what 3 ADS pilots, unchecked, can do to a pub match? Its more terrifying than tanks because REs DONT WORK.
Sure, I feel bad for all the pilots getting OHK'd by sicas, but it's the militia tank spam to blame more than the turret. I would like y'all to know that before I kill a high level drop ship, I say a little prayer for your soul like a native preparing to gut a suffocating buffalo.
Anyhow, if rails lose their drop ship killing ability, drop ships will be next on the chopping block because NOTHING ELSE CAN KILL THEM short of 3 proto breach forges sync shotting one.

Rails won't lose their dropship killing ability, they need more elevation so we can figure out how to fix the redline. There should never be an area of the battlefield that lets you fight while being primarily immune to damage through mechanics alone.
Swarms also need a buff to be more in line with dropships, since right now, they're straight up garbage until they're completely maxed out, and even then.

Since tanks laugh at swarms, and drop ships outrun second force gun shots, perhaps we should make the SL into a super long range high speed DS killer.

1. Large missiles are meant to be the AA turrets
2. While assault dropships can be scarier than HAVs, they're far more expensive and easier to lose

It's the turret. Come on, seriously, you think it's militia tanks?

Fully fitted tanks are about the same ~400,000 ISK? MILITIA tanks are problem.

Even then, fully fitted tanks will get a lot more out of that 400k.

No, it's the turret.
The frame has absolutely nothing to do with my ability to use the turret on anything I fit and deny every single dropship on the field.

this applies to REDLINE 'Thale's' as well... REDLINE "RAILS" not excluded |

It's not just miltia tanks that are the problem, ALL tanks are too strong.
AV needs a buff, then LAV's and MAAV's need a survivability buff.
Tanks 514

I have indeed seen what 3 skilled ads pilots can do in a pub, though I can assure you one wiki breach fg can one shot me without hardeners on. It is very easy to kill a proto python with a milita tank and that should be addressed.
My main concern with the balance (aside from redline mechanics) is how quickly rail tanks can get the kill shot in, most times its before mods can even turn on which is very annoying and is what dropship pilots hated about forgeguns in previous builds. We don't have time to react, even if we do we still get shot down. I'm not sure how we should approach this but it is a concern of mine. First we need to get them out of the redline and into the fight. |
