To be fair, dropships are their own best counter. Also, swarms damage application is all ****** up, particularly against the Incubus.
Forge guns are still very strong against dropships, and any dedicated forge gunners who feel dropships are OP should probably go ahead and git gud.

A Sica with a Railgun and a damage mod can mess up a dropship too, doesn't cost much ISK at all, and has 0 SP requirement. I think it's a stupid part of the game, but it's a part of the game. Forge guns are currently the main AV simply because swarms aren't properly applying their damage in some cases, though to be fair, a fire and forget weapon will probably never be as powerful as a gun that requires active aiming.
Dropships, yes, are their own best counter, at least coming from an Incubus pilot who's favorite prey is other dropships.

Considering on these maps you'd go redline to redline in about 2 seconds haha. Jets have no place in DUST: actual, I'm afraid. In DUST: theoretical, they do still have a place, but that's about it.

In DUST: theoretical, they do still have a place, but that's about it. i think jets would work on the newer maps no so much the old ones though. and if they tweek the swarms again that would be cool for me lol as a logi i dont have extra points to spend on a heavy suit and or forge guns lol. love the feed back Dust Fiend appreciate it man
Not a problem, any time. I really hope swarms get addressed soon, they're clearly messed up and in obvious need of fixing. While I would never want them to be quite as strong as forge guns, I do want them to be somewhat viable in what they were made for: killing vehicles.
CCP has a LOT of work left to go on vehicle vs AV balance though, so hopefully it continues to be hammered out and addressed.
