I dont know when CCP deployed that hotfix but dropships lost their 55% efficency rating against swarms and got now in line with all other vehicles. This means dropships worst enemy has returned: crowds of scrubs with militia swarm launchers. You have beeing warned pilots if you now think you can just tank swarms forever you are badly mistaken.
So the current dropship resistance is as following:
unifrom resistance before fix on armor shield= 55%
shield= 80% damage taken
armor= 120% damage taken
To put it simply you take 25% more damage on shields and a whooping 65% more damage against armor. Enjoy the hunting my fellow AV friends.

Indeed.
Now those scrubs won't be able to shrug me off and then sprint to the flight ceiling like a b!tch when I actually manage to make a dent.

Yep. As both a swarmer and a dropship pilot I approve this change. I never stayed near swarms anyways, they throw me around to much

I think that you no longer get vehicle damage WP when firing from one vehicle and destroying the other. Or game glitched... any one else have this problem or can confirm? |

Its about time.
Now if they would only do the same to tanks and LAVs, we'd be getting somewhere.
IMO, of course. |

I am in favor of these sort of changes for drop ships, as long as a change in price is included. A decent tank can be fitted for around 250k with no problems, a sub optimal ADS costs upwards of 500k, considering this, I think that the base cost of the ADS chassis needs to be reduced significantly.

The tanks and LAV actually already take the correct amount of damage

You'll be relieved to know that small railguns still have a flat profile reduction to vehicles and installations. Max damage is 77% against shields and 64% for armor. For a gun that describes itself as being only good against vehicles and installations, this is weird.
