Its kinda hard to look down in first person since you cant move the turret in first person, and its kinda hard in third person since the dropship kinda gets in the way. like alot! SO why couldnt the dropship turn translucent, for the pilot only, so you could see through it, not perfectly through it just enough, so you can aim and still see where the dropship is. Because quite frankly i hate the current mechanic for the assault dropship. |

You need more practice, that is all. As for the first person, it is quite efficiant once you have the habit. I find it effective when I fight other dropships, or when it come to destroy equipments or infantry hidden like over the alpha null cannon on this map :

Yes but its stupid that you can barely hover in one spot and accurately suppress an area. The fact that you have to use first person negates that advantages of covering one spot because you have to tilt forward and that makes you go forward. Therefore you have to resort to sweeps across an area to use first person. Completely crap in my mind. Since i was a bf3 helicopter veteran. |

dropships are fine. infantry already cries about them enough already. all this buff would do is get dropships nerfed some where else once all the babies go crying to forum daddy rattati, because the pilots who aren't noobs will suddenly become gods with this buff, you will get the dropship nerfed after getting it buffed and you will have something worse to worry about than the camera that all of the pilots before you had to GG with the hard way.

There is no reason to nerf or buff dropships, however, there are many reason to nerf the missile turret and return them to the pre 1.7 era (not talking of Escrow). Back there, the prototype turret had stats beetween the sstandard and advanced turrets we have for the moment.

Fixing a really stupid camera mechanic isn't a buff...

You sir should find another game then if you have to "force yourself" to play. And to be honest let the slayers take to the skies, at least they wont have a cloak and my 50,000 isk proto forge will have loads of fun taking down 500,000 isk dropship piloted by all the "newb" dropship pilots you predict will "take to the skies" and loose millions of isk to me and other forgers. |

I play with proto assault dropships, it's not like I was someone wanting them nerfed because I'm tired of being killed and I think that rail or missile, both should be nerfed, rail should be given a small area of explosion with a few damages so they can destroy drop uplinks and nanohives (without becoming efficient against infantry).
Turrets should have less damages, but have proficiency that five them an advantage (overheat, dispersion) or damages, like for the weapons. So a true vehicle player will have to have proficiency 5 if he really want his turret to do as much damages as it do for the moment.
I also post some other thoughts about vehicles here, if you want to read...

i dont really understand your point tho because having only standard small turrets currently is not all that powerful.. how much less damage are you wanting for proto turrets? imo there's not a huge community of proto small RG turret dropship gunners breaking the game. i know a couple but not many.
a dropship owning ppl on the ground post bravo is more of their lack of AV problem imo. what i'm trying to say is if i have prof 5 what difference would it make to make standard turrets less powerful?, most serious pilot get proto asap. non proto dropship is a joke.
ok i think i understand you now, you want turret profiency to actually do something meaningful. that i can agree with, i waste points on it to give rotation to my gunner but i think it's broke.

It is actually easier to cover an area in first person than in third person thanks to not having a dropship taking up your screen. Hovering in one place just makes you more of a target. Maybe you should look more at how you are staying moving to cover said area.

That I do, in PC for my corp or in pub/FW if I want to have some fun against dropships or roof campers. Anyway, yes we loose the reps, thanks to remind me this point, because I agree with you, this nerf which intended to harm tanks, harm more the dropships than them. CCP should have simply modify the tank fitting slots so it is impossible to use more than 2 repairs (like for the afterburners). Or simply to have a penality so huge when you want to use the third repair, that it don't worth the cost.
As for taking more damages from AV, I would say yes because it is true, but wrong because now, we are less hunted by the rail tanks. And I'm truly glad of this, now it take one or two proto AV to take down a good assault dropship where a single sica was needed before.
