I haven't run into any yet since the fix yesterday.
An ADS isn't OP if we can shoot it down with Swarms. We fixed that. The Proficiency skill should now also be working for Forge Guns and Swarm Launchers against vehicles, so that should also give swarms a boost.
All you did was make flying an Incubus a chore since any idiot who can look up at the sky for three seconds can deal tremendous damage without a single further thought.
Dust will be uninstalled very soon, you all can have this roller coaster.
I'll be in Star Citizen if anyone needs me.

The only thing the Incubus excels at over the Python is destroying shield vehicles, and being more resistant to crashing (aka, don't be a bad pilot and this doesn't matter) Amusingly, Python pilots have to be worse to crash because their ship is more responsive and easier to handle in flight....who knew...
Missiles do EXCELLENT work even against shield vehicles, and are FAR more effective at fighting armor, considering a small railgun will barely crack most armor vehicles, at all.
Your change DOES directly impact Incubus because we are FORCED to fit missiles if we want to do anything other than fly around in circles, harass armor vehicles, or chase away shield vehicles. In fact, it effects us even MORE than python BECAUSE we lack the bonus, so we feel your nerf even harder than you do.
Oh, and yes, you can play the dogfighting module in Star Citizen now, and more modules will be opening up soon. Plus, other games. I'm backing the crap out of SC, can't wait for my Constellation in about a month.

The thing fires insanely fast and is the ultimate counter vs vehicles of any kind. Be it LAV's dropships or tanks. A incubus achieved its role as the pefect AV vehicle when used properly and every python pilot runs away screaming in agony cause they know you dont engage a incubus in a dogfight.
Utilizing a bug, yes. But the exact same can be said of a Python utilizing the bug. And yet again, this is vs armor that I'm talking about, which the bugged missile will perform just about as effectively as the bugged railgun, albeit a little harder to track thanks to projectile travel time.

I dont think that this is a bug. Back in the closed beta we asked the devs if skills stack on vehicles and they confirmed it and we assumed that it is a feature instead of a bug. Another point for it is that it hasnt beeing taken away so far. And to be honest most scrub pilots fly solo instead with a gunner. Which saddens me as a oldschool pilot.
If you think 125% RoF bonus on small turrets is balanced, YOU are the problem.
If one person can't push a turret farther than 50%, adding in someone who knows the EXACT same knowledge as you doesn't suddenly further increase the turrets effectiveness. And yes, it's higher than 100% RoF because math. Even if it wasn't, 100% RoF is obnoxious and only scrubs would ever possibly defend it.
But by all means, defend your irrelevant game

"Extra tank" is an illusion when almost every form of AV does bonus damage to you.
And again, crashing into things = bad pilot or unlucky, and shouldn't be a major concern in balance.
I'm just excited for games that are worth playing :D Also, the controls aren't "bad" they're "realistic" and people have trouble wrapping their heads around that fact. Damage to any part of your ship can drastically effect how your ship flies thanks to how the thrusters work and how they interact with the rest of the ship. People are used to a more gamey feeling, instead of an actual space simulator.
And lastly, a space bonsai would be more entertaining than this train wreck
