Then add the python skill book that gives 10% to missile turret ROF and 5% to missile turret max ammo per level and the proto small missile turret has 455 direct damage and 357.50 AOE then add the the 40% damage buff. That makes it 637 for direct damage and 500.5 in AOE.
This is wrong for a few reasons.
1. No python pilot worth his salt fits damage mods.
2. Where are you getting this 40% damage buff from?
3. The amount of time and isk required to be an ace pilot means the pool of pilots is small.
4. A milita sica can two shot even the best assault dropship.
Back in beta we use to have quite a bit more damage from skill books. The pilot and gunners skills would stack and gave us something like 50% extra damage. Now its just the pilots skills. Missiles are probably putting out about the same damage.
There are two things that can one shot a proto fit python, a partical accelerator and a wiki breach forge gun. This fact alone makes them underpowered for their cost, sp investment, and time required to learn how to fly. Any forge gun and an adv swarm launcher can deny an area for a python.
Please don't tell people these lies. |

That's what I'm getting from this post. Someone correct me please...
Yes it can, unless its a rail tank 115m in the redline, then it cant. What I think people are saying is a milita tank can two shot a python. Therefore it cannot be considered op.
I'm sure you have killed your fair share of milita tanks this build, as have I but then again think about how long we have been flying for. Not everyone can fly like a condor! |

But on a more serious note, they are too easily countered to be considered op. The scores given as examples of how well it can do (when no one is good enough to counter it) don't count to me at least.
1 forge gunner will make that dropship run at the very least, and continue to run.
1 milita rail tank in the redline will have that guy recalling the dropship and running on the ground or come crashing to said ground.
If your firing swarms at it, well...XD keep trying that lol
I however would like to know the name of the dropship pilot that dropped 50 and 0 on ya though. If some1 ever did that, I'd remember that name lol.
Yeah most of the time when assault dropships do very well its because there is little to no av to contest them. I went 21-0 today because all they were pulling out was milita swarms. Eventually someone pulled out a forge and I had to get out, but that was at the end of the game.
If I had had a gunner he probably would have gone in the 40's but we have been flying together for months, not just any blue could hop in my dropship and gun like a pro, though there a few exceptional blues out there. Point being no one tried very hard to kill me, so I was able to kill a lot of them. If one had called down a milita sica I probably would have lost that dropship. |
