Well I am a pilot & fly a Caldari python dropship, I say there is only 2 thing I fear in a match & it isn't forge guns & it definitely is NOT swarms, unless there is 2 people firing at me with proto Swarm Launchers I find it laughably easy to get away for a single Swarmer, Forge gunners are a little bit more tricky but only due to there health as staying around them for too long to take them out can be a death wish, but anyway to the point.
The 2 things I fear in my ADS is people ramming me with Militia dropships wile I am not looking in there direction & Rail gun Tanks, a Proto Rail Gun tank can 2 shot me in 2-3 Seconds flat even with my near to 3000 Shield Hp, I understand I don't have complex Shield enhancers yet but to be honest I don't see that doing much when it comes to the "Particle Cannon", with the Rail Gun Turrets 300m Range on smaller maps it can pretty much lock down 1 side of the entire map, I don't think I even need to explain what happens when there is 2-3 Rail Tanks on the enemy team.
in my experience there is only 1 way to combat rail tanks & that is to go on the offensive, try to stay above them as they cant fire up past a certain degrees, although I know how to take out Rail tanks though I cant say it always ends well as I am currently only using Militia Missile Turrets & cant hardly scratch Tanks so it can take a long wile to destroy a Tank, Most of the time I don't get to destroy them but instead I manage to get them to back off into there red zone buying me some time to get some infantry kills, all I can say is though NEVER at any time let your eye off were that tank is, even a Militia Rail Tank will destroy you like a bat out of hell if they sneak up on you.
when it comes to Swarms there is only 1 thing I can suggest for you, if you even suspect a Swarm launcher is about to fire at you just hit that Afterburner & get the hell out of there, wait a short wile & try to track him, if you can blind side him & get a few hits in before he see's you coming he is toast, Oh & try avoid built up areas when being attacked by forges or Swarms lol those places are death traps. |
