It's too slow to get away yet its shields still can get dwindled down to zero in one clip by each handheld weapon! outrageous.

Lol@one guy with a swarm launcher!

Maybe if the pilot is a complete scrub rookie, makes no effort to evade, has zero shield rechargers, and the guy with the launcher has a nanohive, a perfectly clear shot, none of the pilot's infantry teammates shooting at him, and all the time in the world then maybe, just maybe, he can rack up a few damage points before the dropship hits a building and blows up (denying the AV both the kill and vehicle destruction points for all his efforts).

I can only assume that you've never actually tried AV yourself, or you'd understand that it is nowhere near as easy as you seem to think it is.

proto forge and swarms, mate.

Then you must be trolling, because you should know how ridiculous your "one guy with a swarm launcher" claim is, mate.

They should be denying you the ability to loiter in their areas of coverage and have a good chance of shooting you down, if you flee after the first shot and have good speed and maneuverability you should get away easy. I know, been flying since you installed the game! It's just to effectively assist my team , I find it hard to fight somebody 1 v 1 with a handheld weapon that takes less than 2 million SP to max out, and I'm one of the most experienced pilots in the game. At least increase the prices of the forge gun for that much power?! Python pilot, troop-transport specialist and an all-round ballbag.

If you know you are getting shot at just fly away. If you know AV is gonna be trying to shoot you down fly higher. Dont moan about AV being able to do its job. it's not just proto, you goon. also even proto av vs pythons, still unbalanced when they can 1 v 1, shouldn't be the case. 1 infantryman does not equal 1 vehicle, except for LAVs, of course.

Then you must be trolling, because you should know how ridiculous your "one guy with a swarm launcher" claim is, mate. nah i'm just frustrated how one guy with a swarm and keep me off a position , like after one volley, I'll have to bug out of there. I'm not trolling, it's not that he'll kill me, i'm skilled enough to know when to run and when to fight and I kill more than any pilot out there. Ask the public, check the leaderboards. But the fact that one guy can actually disable me from getting into the fray with one swarm launcher? let alone there would be two-three, depending on how much i'm murdering the enemy team . Yet I see people asking for a swarm speed buff ? That's just greedy. Dropships should be able to take more of a punch than that, because 9 times out of 10 there's more than one AV guy on the enemy team. AV should be about teamwork to take out the overall vehicle threat, as in time your shots with your squadmates etc. not free for all random fire and then complain it got away with no health after 1 shot from your forge / swarm. Get a grip. Python pilot, troop-transport specialist and an all-round ballbag.

If you think you are some kind of tank and want to take a couple of hits that is on you. At best, as a solo forger i can deter a drop ship from stick around any one place for long which is the purpose of AV, with a noob pilot i can damage it enough to get 75 points rarely i am able to kill off a dropship by myself. 1 forger can destroy a dropship in three hits , ask the french. just did a PC match vs them and hunk TM alone hit me every time. I guess you need to just have more experience / SP in it, but he can 3 shot a dropship, it means everyone else has the potential. I'm talking about a Python with over 2500+ shield HP . 1 guy with a handheld weapon should not be able to solo a vehicle like that, and I'm flying fast, gaining altitude, barrel-rolling, etc to avoid these shots but they still CAN 3 shot me which drives me to make threads like this, and wondering why a hand hel mining tool was even added to the game as an anti-vehicle weapon. rails and swarms are enough.
