HOWDIDHEKILLME Dying to Reload 41	Posted - 2014.05.20 21:49:00 - [1] - Quote Seriously are you fu@king kidding? Make missiles faster or give them back their old damage. ADS are ridiculous. What moron made dropshs faster than a missile? Lonewolf till I die
Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution 13557	Posted - 2014.05.20 21:50:00 - [2] - Quote Why should a dropship die to swarms, they're like, light AV, and dropships are medium air vehicles. Light AV should never be able to kill medium vehicles. Also, infantry being able to kill vehicles would be ridiculous. You have long since made your choice. What you make now is a mistake.

Eko Sol Strange Playings 338	Posted - 2014.05.20 22:02:00 - [3] - Quote It's not often I can take out an ADS with swarms 1vs1 but when I do it's because they get very close. The radius on AV nades is also the magnetic range meaning I use sleek nades since I just need to be within 9 meters and it will magnetise and hit the drop ship. Yes, you can throw them straight up and they will hit. If they hit the nose, not sure why, the armor tank ones go out of control a bit. It's relatively funny. Shoot the Missiles AWAY from the ADS on the first shot and then shoot the swarms while staring at it for the 2nd shot. The idea is to have them hit about the same time. If they relatively close before the second shot then I'll throw nades toward it before shooting the 2nd shot of swarms. Want as much damage as possible at the same time also wrongly referred to is as high Alpha damage. Basically if you get two shots to land at the same time you can fire a third and about 50% of the time it will land and finish off the ADS. This is if you are using proto swarms. A lot of ADS's will take the first swarm hit and keep going for a bit. If you can land two shots at about the same time then they will have been caught off guard. And yes, they can outrun swarms from close up. 50 meters is a bit far but if they are any closer try sleek nades. Also for fun one time I put RE"s on top of a tower where a normal DS landed to kill me. Jumped off and detonated and killed the DS and the proto cal heavy. Again, it's VERY rare I've been able to solo an ADS. Maybe 3% of the time. That being said, if any other swarmer is helping it goes to about 20% depending on how good they are and about or even above 50% if a decent forger is helping. Nothing like your swarms landing right after a breach forge lands or vice versa. PSN is "Ekopalm" I play D3, Child of Light, and solo games Also, Proto Trolling until I'm broke...

Light AV should never be able to kill medium vehicles. Also, infantry being able to kill vehicles would be ridiculous. Ever seen a heavy bomber or fighter jet survive a hit from a missile idiot? That's about as stupied as saying a scout shouldn't be able to kill a heavy. Aircraft is lightly armored or it wouldn't fly. And I've hit YOUR ADS with a proto forge gun with 3 damage mods at close range and you still had all your armor and flew away... 3-4 indirect hits from your missile and my heavy is dead? Your a good pilot but that's complete b.s. Lonewolf till I die
HOWDIDHEKILLME Dying to Reload 44	Posted - 2014.05.20 22:12:00 - [5] - Quote Maybe heavys should get armor hardeners so I can tank every thing they do for 30 sec and some f'n wings so I can run away as soon as it's depleated. Or I run out of ammo lol. Lonewolf till I die

A scout shouldn't be able to kill a heavy? Sounds like brilliant to me. Either the troll is strong in this one, or a biased dropship pilot.

Don't try and talk sense to these stupid AV'rs, they think they should actually have a purpose, the morons. AV = Anti-Vehicles. ADS goes faster than a swarm and repair faster than it's dps. So, as the swarm is the only reliable weapon against ADS, it needs to be buffed in order to fulfil its role : being Anti-vehicle.

I can take out a triple rep maddy but not an ads? It's just stupied. They just attack take 2-3 hits and run and till I run out of ammo. A tank can't get away fast enuf 50% of the time even with nitro, but a dropship can? Seagulls take out jets lol. Lonewolf till I die

So, as the swarm is the only reliable weapon against ADS, it needs to be buffed in order to fulfil its role : being Anti-vehicle. You are not making any sense either. Swarms shouldn't bring down a properly fit ADS in one volley or even 2 or 3 if the pilot is smart. I do believe they are too fast and should be slightly lessened. The best AV on ADS is Forges or better yet, Rail tanks. Swarms should have their old ranges given back if ADS maintain there speed boost.

More often then not I get killed by knock back from AV then actual AV damage. You try ADSing mate, see how balanced it is. GÇ£War is peace. Freedom is slavery.

Patrick57 Fatal Absolution 7550	Posted - 2014.05.20 22:43:00 - [21] - Quote Just to let you know, it takes a little bit of time for an ADS to reach speeds to get away from Swarms. If they constantly got away from your Swarms that fast, then they're using an Afterburner. Anyway, Swarms are soooo 1.6. New [self proclaimed] CEO of Fatal Absolution

I have only seen a couple pilots dare go after tanks. I would much rather go against a tank with my forge than an ADS. There are some really good pilots, as it requires more skill than tanking. ADS are more than likely attacking infantry because there are no tanks around to blap them outta the sky. I think you have been watching too many of Pyrex's Youtube videos.

EDIT: To clarify for those people taking this seriously this is not genuinely what I think. This is a joke. Please refrain from going on about how I'm a 'biased dropship pilot'. No worrys, I caught the Taki/Spkr reference lol To the OP, right now is a dark time for AV. I recommend if you are new to invest in rail tanks. I have well over 30,000,000 SP so I have enough invested in AV to scare most vehicles off at least, but if you are as green as I think you are (and by the look of it you're so green you ** algae, going by you bringing this up over 5 months after this mess started) I highly recommend you leave the infantry-based AVing to the vets until you build up your SP.

If you had ever seen my flying, you would understand how ridiculous it would be for me to even consider ADS. No thanks. I have seen more pilots crash and burn from the impact from swarms than the damage. I am surprised the Forge gun doesnt do the same. I get a chuckle everytime I see the swarms hit, throws him totally off kilter and into the building or mountains or towers.

What's wrong, you can't run your own dropship? The really good pilots are flying, killing AV'ers, killing tanks, other dropships by themselves. It seems to make for more boots on the ground winning battles controlling objectives. You are a sweetheart for wanting to hold hands, but I am old fashioned. Maybe if you wanted to talk first. Baby steps, you know.
Darth-Carbonite GIO Dust2Dust. Top Men. 660	Posted - 2014.05.20 23:04:00 - [28] - Quote HOWDIDHEKILLME wrote: Seriously are you fu@king kidding? Make missiles faster or give them back their old damage. ADS are ridiculous. What moron made dropshs faster than a missile? I've played against you quite a few times, and your missiles seem fine to me. Dropships by themselves have an extremely hard time outrunning swarms. However, most pilots use afterburners which are a natural defensive counter to slow moving AV. If you're too impatient for swarms, may I suggest you try the forge gun or a rail tank...
