I do have to admit, they need a upgrade! A small bump on anything and I'm already on at least 1/2 of my Shield, I have a max of 2k shield. They took away the ability to have 5k shield on ADS's, which was dumb. Tanks on the other hand are super overpowered. Degrade them!

i have over 3k shields....

I had over 3k shields myself but I had to replace it with a afterburner, my escape plan against tanks and such, and a shield booster. I need those or I will not stand a chance. I've also tried hardeners but found them being pretty useless. Rails vs hardeners= rails win every time. At least in my experiences.

i have over 3k shields WITH an afterburner

shield booster is bugged and doesnt work properly or reliably, its useless.

I don't know how you do it. Maybe I'm just overseeing it. I'm gonna have to try your strategy later.

Ghosts Chance Inf4m0us 1897	Posted - 2014.04.14 05:16:00 - [4] - Quote the solution is not to touch marshmellows :P remember that swarms come in groups of 3 and forges come in groups of 4, use that information to strike during a reload and to prevent being knocked around into terrain. learn to orbit and fly backwards through tight spaces. then and only then can you break even flying those damn coffins.
Sourdough Muffins Royal Uhlans Amarr Empire 136	Posted - 2014.04.14 05:16:00 - [5] - Quote Was in a match earlier today where someone called one in right next to spawn. Someone else had called in a LAV right after and right after the ADS got dropped off another RDV came and dropped the LAV directly on top of the ADS and blew it up. The LAV suffered absolutely no damage. Funniest thing I seen today actually. I bet the owner was screaming at the screen. He didn't call in another that match lol...

I've seen Foxhound Elite go like 40+/1 with a Python and I was dedicating myself to only kill him in that match, needless to say it didn't go so well for me, I spent millions of ISK trying to bring him down event with the cheapest tactics at some point and I failed. Tell me again how they are not OP in the right hands? You don't balance stuff around noobs, or even average players, you balance stuff around those that excel in using what they use. If you balance something around average player then those who know what they are doing will be unstoppable. PS. Foxhound if you are reading this, GG again. R.I.P. Pre-1.7 Vehicles & AV, you will be missed.

And how much do those two protosuits cost assuming they are actually fitted to fight generally and not empty slots in everything else again.... And it still takes 2v1 for them to do it, meaning your infantry swarm the rest of the team now they have a numbers advantage.

If he wants to stick around fir that one kill, then he'll eat 3 more rounds of swarm and die. Which is what many ADS pilots do, evade. If i want that ADS dead now, never to be coming back(and costing him isk) then i require either: A) him to be an idiot and hang around B) ridiculous positioning like tower forging C) or.. 2 swarmers hitting simultaneously.

Yeahhhh, and how many salvos can I shot off before you splatters my innards across dirt with a missile launcher? -coughs.- I'd have to say about...two. And the base max ammo for any swarm launcher is...two magazines. So...you're telling us you can die after you've gotten shot by six salvos from a Swarm Launcher...that's...pretty strong, bro. Your face is something to shoot, so I will shoot. Don't be offended, I do it to everyone. Commandoooo punch! >:D

You will have to show me the math on that one. You are only getting a little over 2500 damage with that and with the reduction against shields less than 2000 effective damage, so if they have 2000 shields you aren't even getting them into armor, much less destroying them. Because, that's why.
wripple TeamPlayers Dirt Nap Squad. 152	Posted - 2014.04.14 08:43:00 - [25] - Quote The ADS is only as good as the pilot and modules fitted to it, kind of like pre-1.7 tanks. Any monkey who learns you can fit a militia damage mod onto a Sica will easily two-shot even skilled pilots, and 1.8 brought with it a host of passive bonus and collision glitches that makes our job even more difficult. For all the hate mail I receive, I laugh, because it lets me know they neither have the skill nor balls to meet me in the air when they resort to the redline Sica that costs 1/6 the price of my Python.
Horizon Limit Nexus Balusa Horizon 34	Posted - 2014.04.14 08:56:00 - [26] - Quote I have more than 1 toon, one is a heavy, i can tell you that if TWO (not 16) forgers work together (sync shot) ADS are dead, 2 shots deal enough damage to stun a ADS meanwhile you can charge another shot (i use only assault forgegun, mainly ADV one). Don't remember me forge gun bug, i know about it, is definitely annoying, but you just have to wait for passive bonuses to load and then FG shots 99% of the time. Melancholic Pilot

Serimos Haeraven The Exemplars Top Men. 709	Posted - 2014.04.14 17:19:00 - [30] - Quote Well, if you're really a closed beta vet you should know that they used to be 1.5 million for 1, and that's when they were even less armored and railtanks and forge guns did even more damage. My usual ADS costs 512K each, but I can typically get it to last me 3-5 matches before getting shot down. I think the main reason it's useless to you is because you haven't fully speced into an ADS. I can attest that once you get every useful skill for Dropship piloting to level 5, and also have every complex module you need, It's actually pretty effective. Tankers are being diagnosed with a new disease; Cancer of the Assault Dropship. Many of them don't survive.
