You brought out a Gatsun's... for and ADS? Jesus... now that's overkill. A single ADV breach forge can two shot an Incubus or Python. Also, leading your target helps considerably with weapons and against vehicles. As a pilot, a good number of forge gun rounds miss, as they don't lead their targets, which I don't find too difficult to do when forge gunning another ADS.
Knowing how to fly and ADS helps considerably when countering them when on the ground, especially when bunny hoping around missiles. |

Dropship Pilots also need to be vulnerable to Fire. So someone can shoot them out if they are careless with positioning.
Agreed, but we all know the main reason most people go to Assault Dropships is for something to ease them over until fighter jets, which was sort of the reasoning they were even implemented into the game. Honestly dropships should of never had a front mounted pilot operated turret to begin with. Totally agree with this. They're transports, not dedicated combat vehicles.
Except that the ASSAULT dropship was converted into a combat vehicle, and should have those benefits as such. That's like saying the logistics dropsuit should have never received more than 2-4 equipment slots, and never received the skills to them, as the basic frame only had one. Also, assault suits should never have had a bonus to weapons, as that seems totally ludicrous and overpowered, as the basic frame does not have these benefits.
The Myron and Grimsnes are the basic frames of dropships, without skills or benefits, while the Assault and Logistic dropships are their specializations with their intended roles. |

Wrong the grimsnes can be converted into a highly tanked troop transporter with a CRU and afterburner. Sure it doesnt has any gun on it but it can take quite alot of damage and its possible to provide a mobile spawnpoint for your team. I do that sometimes when i run solo on ambush and know that the opposition will spam tanks. I ehlp out with providing the blueberrys a save spot to spawn and just **** of the tankers on the opposition.
What part of that was wrong? I'm merely referring to how the Myron and Grimsnes are merely the basic frames AND HAVE NO SKILLS OF THIER OWN. The vehicle itself has no skill. It's not a specialization, and has no intended role, You do whatever you want with it. Putting any level into dropship operation offers you nothing other than 1) unlocking access to dropships 2) unlocking the skill tree for ADS. |
