To the OP, just use tanks. You only need about 175K SP to be decent. I believe my friend just purchased the Madrugar with 3 MLT reps and is pretty much killing everyone. He could take on 3 tanks, depending on what they're fitting, without dying. ADS on the other hand require a ton more SP just to be okay. I think I spent over 9 mil on my ADS and I can't even take on 1 hit from a MLT railgun.
If you're the only one using a Swarm you're gonna die. The enemy team needs more than just a Swarm to kill me, and usually there's more that I don't even dare to whip out my ADS. I rarely bring it out due to there always being 2 or more tanks plus forges. It's too much for me. Not to mention its very easy to switch to a AV fit when there's a Supply Depot next to A.
If I see an enemy ADS I usually don't do anything because it's probably one of their rare games they can actually fly without getting knocked down by a MLT DS.
To my fellow ADS pilots: rule the skies!

In what world would you assume ADS would cost less than a clone even proto'd out? Your in a vehicle, with a ton of hp, you can jump out before it explodes and call in another without even dying. I pop milita dropships and watch the pilot bail and run while I reload... It should at least kill you when I hit them with a forge gun and they have less than 500 hp left. 3 hits to a gorgon/viper with a proto forge should cause it to explode immediately ( like tanks do ) not give you time to escape.
Well when we're in the air with 0 Armor and 0 Shield and we bail out we mostly die by "comitting suicide". This happens to me 80% of the time. Not sure about other pilots. |

Happens to me all the time Kills tank drivers every time why should you be able to bail out but they can't? I fly all the time ( I use dropships like expendable high speed taxis since I'm a logi, flying to an objective bail and let it crash ) and I get away when shot down more than 50% of the time. I just laugh and call in another.
Most of the tank drivers I kill don't take the chance to bail when their tank is on fire or on very low health. Their fault for missing their opportunity. Why should we be able to bail? Because we're pilots and we risk way more than tanks! Or CCP can just implement the same feature to tanks the only thing that's going to be different is they actually might still survive when bailing. |
