Swarms need a buff, forge guns are basically perfectly balanced towards dropships right now, but it's a skill vs skill scenario. Plasma cannon is a joke.
Railguns need to have more elevation so we can finally solve the redline.
The cheap mans anti dropship fit is an LAV with a damage mod and a railgun.

Railguns need to have more elevation so we can finally solve the redline. The assault forge guns are still too strong stat wise and all assault varients do less damage, my python gets 2 shotted sometimes, and the breach fg is still overpowerec, lower charge time slight then reduce its ******* damage Or give dropships a resistancd to that bullshit
I think shields might need a little buff then, because they seem pretty balanced against my Incubus.

I was in several matches today where very few tanks where called in and it was ADSs every where every time, using their OP splash missle launchers to rain down on us from perfect angels where cover isnt worth crap. And while there are some mainly indoor maps, there are plenty were the main opjective of domination or skimishes are completely open to arial attacks, and even roofs or places tanks cant fit arnt safe from ADS. Bad thing is unlike a tank, drop ships dont even have to worry about remots, and AV nades, esily out run swarms, and can dodge forge guns enough to ust kill their operators.
So yeah keep QQing over tanks, but when they are gone its not like you will be free from an even worse fate. Ads are more expensive and fragile Doesnt make it any better. So were tanks once upon a time long long ago...
I think I stomped your Python with my Incubus. Assuming it was you your team was redlining ours and you guys had a bunch of tanks and pythons and I was basically the only one who put up a fight, took out 4 ships and a couple tanks that match. Was fun. It was that new longer map with the cliffs going down on either side.

Not sure what you mean.
I think militia tanks should cost 125,000 ISK for the hull, standard tanks 200,000.
ADS price is beautiful right now.

They need a price decrease still, no reason to be alot more expensive than a tank Also std tank hull 175k because small difference until changes announced, I have to grind 2 matches for my railgun magne....I mean python
I used to pay 1.2 million and some change for dropships.
Price is perfect.

That's the base price of an Enforcer. 
Are you comparing enforcers to pre 1.7 dropships?

Price is perfect. No, its not, so did I, doesnt mean a dropship needs to be super expensive, just a hull should be 200k at least
I pay a little over 500k for my dropship and I manage to stay mostly ISK positive while rolling around solo. I for one love the price, feels like it fits the utility and power that the assault dropship gives me.

Clearly you didn't see the Enforcers that were rolling around.....when fit right they were ******* GODS.

The greatest balancing factor when it comes to dropships is the skill required to operate them effectively. I'm not saying that balance doesn't still need to addressed by tweaking and adjusting values, but the main thing keeping us in check is the very act of flying. No matter how well you fit your ship right now, if you make even one mistake that is often enough to send you up in flames.
