Perhaps an "overkill" health bar as well? If you just barly kill the DS/ADs then it crashes as normal, but if enough damage is done it explodes in the air like a vehicle does on the ground when killed and takes the pilot and crew with it. |

I could live with that.
Though how much HP of damage would you need for an "overkill?"
Want to know how to make a strike-through?

Not sure what would be fair,/balanced maybe something high enough that it would normal happen from high Alpha weapons, 700 maybe? |

My Swarm Launcher won the race and they were being to much of an idiot to use an afterburner. Why shouldn't they be punished for it? They're losing the Dropship. How is that not defined as being punished? Pilots of all sorts should always have an option to bail. No, they shouldn't. The AVer did his job. He blew up the vehicle. Why should he be denied the points and kill that he earned?
Do they not get the points from the vehicle that they killed? Now if passengers are killed by the dropship as they gtfo then the AVer should get those points.

If the pilot doesn't die than it is kin to an infantry suit being destroyed and the merc jumping out to continue the fight. I agree that they should have the option to abandon before the killing blow is dealt, but not after. It should be a tactical decision, do you think you can still drive/fly to safety or abandon ship before it takes you with it. |

I used to think drop ship deaths should give a kill, until I started flying ADS.
everything kills ADS so easily. Swarms, forges, rail turrets, missile turrets, buildings, the ground, other drop ships smashing into you, MCCs, RDVs and rail tanks, rail tanks, rail tanks.
Flying ADS is already hard enough and even harder when everything can kill you so quick. So with the extra difficulty of piloting, I think balling out of a dead dropship is fair.
However, once the dropship is on fire another volley should blow it and it's crew up. I think that would be fair to av users.
Gun control is not about guns...it's about control.
The only way to ensure freedom is by having the means to defend it.

The AVer did his job and took out the vehicle. I don't see how the status of the pilot factors into that equation. The AVer is already being compensated with extra WP for the vehicle kill itself.

''I wouldn't mind being locked into the ship so long as i don't have Any Counters except heavies''This is what i read.
speaking of not fair, why do redline tanks get to sit there in safety taking pot shots at anything it wants. no risk for massive gain is not a balanced mechanic. the turret itself is fine, but I want to be able to counter it without another railgun tank

Could not agree more. Redline anything is not fair/balanced. |
