Large missle turrets need more elevation to them and maybe an optional lock-on for anti-air role. Why do we not have anti-air vehicles? Every standing army today has them. Why would they disappear from the battlefield when there is still a need for them? |

Because, like modern armies, New Eden doesn't waste money developing g weapons to counter something not perceived as a threat.
Since drop ships can be brutalized by any given railgun/installation/swarm launcher/forge gun, why waste money and resources creating a weapon the 4 other things do perfectly fine? |

To kill a fly you get a fly swatter, not a baseball bat. Our fly is the dropship, weak and insignificant, it's fly swatter is anything that can hit (because honestly it's weak as crap) leave the fly alone stop going for overkill. |

The fly is still annoying and needs to die or bother someone else. What good are swarms that don't track beyond 175m, or a forge that can't hit it because it's to high or far away, and what railguns? Tankers destroy every turret that might pose a threat as soon as the game starts.
If the people of eve are so smart, why don't they turn enemy droplinks upside down so enemies are fused with the ground? Why didn't someone figure out how to make a dropsuit out of the same material that the buildings are made from since they never tale damage of any sort? |

You say it's not a threat until you have an assault dropship shooting you in the bead with rockets. If turrets are so well equipted to handle them, why don't they? Oh yeah, they were all destroyed by tanks and the ones that are left can't look up to deal with the dropship. Who would deploy a turret with only 40-¦ or less of vertical travel? They are only good if the target is slightly above or below the horizon line.
All other troop based anti-air weapons are only good if the ship is in close range. Swarms are a joke and no one takes them seriously with there 175m range. Afterburner easily allowed the dropship that just killed you to escape because my forge wasn't able to get the kill shot in before it escaped to such a high altitude that i wasn't able to touch it. |
