Seems to be a misconception that all dropships got frailer. All CCP did was correct the odd swarm damage efficiencies against Incubus.
So as a Python pilot, I haven't noticed any changes at all. :P

Swarm missile volley speed increase cannot be implemented in a balanced manner without decreasing tracking.
I highly doubt an ADS with a small rail turret could hit infantry 250m away; the infantry won't even render. The only way to pull this off is with is with a squad member scanning for the ADS and the ADS pilot having ridiculously good aim.
Swarms should be able to chase away AND KILL dropships. Don't BS by saying swarms only exist to chase away dropships. No one's going to run a weapon that can only chase away whatever it shoots at. Other players aren't NPCs that exist to be inadequate, cannon fodder for you. Feel bad for saying something so self-serving.
Also what Judge said.

This is the bit I don't understand:
Infantry, your suits and weapons cost about ten percent of the cost of an ADS, possibly twenty percent for all you protos, and that's for an ADV ADS, not proto. When you are having a hard time killing it, consider that; the pilot has invested huge amounts of SP and ISK, whereas a militia forge gun on a militia frame can end an ADS quite easily. I am actually very happy with AV at the moment - flying can be easy, unless the enemy work together (wait, what? :P) to take you down. When 2-3 infantry / a rail tank and a forge work together to take me out, I feel that I'm fair game.
What I don't want to see are the return of the days where I lift off and suddenly get mullered by 7 groups of unrendered swarms, 2 forge guns and a rail installation within 5 seconds, every time. :/
One other idea: why can't it be a food chain? Infantry>Tanks>dropships>infantry for example? Aren't some match ups meant to be more one-sided than others? :)
Because ISK and SP are terrible factors to balance around in an MMO FPS.
There is a "food chain". Infantry > AV > Vehicles > Infantry

Why do people want to give my python more survivability? I mean, sure I hate having to fit heavy shield extenders meant for tanks on my ADS. But why in the Maker's name would you want to give me even more survivability?
PS: You incubus pilots complaining that your ADS is too squishy with the corrected swarm damage efficiencies and heavy armor repair nerf have brought a smile to my face. On behalf of all python pilots: welcome to our world, a world were there are pretty explosions in the sky, and that explosion is you.
