I'll add my thoughts for the air vehicles:
heavy: ccp have already shown rdv's are medium, meaning the heavy aircraft has to be stronger with more health. Given this would be op I suggest the rdv becomes a heavy aircraft on minimap, and also becomes the caldari heavy aircraft (as it looks like a caldari)
In place of the electromagnetic lifter there is a pilot controlled heavy turret. This has the same characteristics as a hav turret and as it is mounted on the bottom it can only hit any turret or tank which can hit it (it cant fire up at all and can only fire ~45-¦ down). There should also be two secondary small turrets, one on the top for protection against aerial threats (although it is like a tank's top turret and can't look very far up), and a second on the front just below where the pilot sits. It should have a similar amount of health to a tank so it is fairly even between tanks and heavy aircraft, however the tanks shots will knock the aim of the pilot off so the aircraft needs to catch the tank by surprise.
It should have a higher top speed than a tank but much slower acceleration (especially vertically). It should accelerate very quickly downwards and very slowly upwards. It should lose altitude very quickly if you tip it forwards or backwards to move. Basically it should feel underpowered and difficult to fly. It also has two weaknesses, fast moving targets and attack from above.
Light:
This should have a similar design to the f35 (type b). It should have two modes, changeable by x/Gûí (which ever currently opens doors in dropships). These two modes should be hover and forwards flight. It should also be on a cooldown timer so you can't change mode too often. Forwards flight requires a high speed to be maintained or it will stall.
It should have similar health to a milita lav when well fitted. It should have dual pilot operates light turrets which are locked facing forwards, even when hovering. This will be good for dive booming. It should also have a secondary light turret mounted on a pivot towards the rear, controlled be a person in the Gunner seat. This limits use for anti ground targets, unless it is on the ground landed, but it makes it an excellent choice for attacking air targets such as the heavy aircraft mentioned earlier.
I'm open to suggestions and really interested in these given I fly ads
