Is is just me or does it seem like being and ADS pilot does not really seem worth it anymore? I mean sure its great to fly them and you can get huge amounts of kills from them, but they are so easy to destroy.

Take the Python for example.

You get a great bonus for small missile turrets, to the point that you can rain down hell on just about anyone or anything. If you get targeted by a FG, you can fly high enough to get away especially if you put on a speed mod.
The thing that sucks is that any red dot and call in a Militia drop ship and crash into you and you both get destroyed, unless they happen to call in a Gorgon. Then the red dot survives with some hp left and land then either recalls his or just lets in blow up.

Now in all reality shouldn't it take alot more then a Militia drop ship that crashes into you to destroy you? I think it should do some damage to it but not to the point of destruction. After all your flying an Assault Drop Ship, so should it not have the ability to survive a militia drop ship just crashing into it?

I think you should complain less on the forums about a valid tactic and gain more experience in the air. It would serve you better.

And for the sake of argument, in reality if one aircraft collides with another aircraft at high speeds, what happens?

How can a JLAV even touch a ADS? unless you found a way to make LAVs fly then it has nothing to do with this topic. In case you forgot you can't just take any LAV and crash into a tank and destroy it, you have to equip R/Es to it and that is what makes a JLAV. With Drop ship all you have to do is hop in a militia drop ship with nothing added to it and just tap an ADS and they both go down in flames, that makes a huge difference, so please unless you have your facts straight do not respond to my threads.

They are two aircraft hitting each other, neither should survive, pilots sure. one is built for combat meaning that it should be able with stand a hit for a militia drop ship which is built just for troop transport. I am in no way saying that an ADS should not take any damage, it is 2 drop ships hitting into each other after all, but the ADS should be able to survive. Edit* you see a 747 jumbo jet and a bi-plane slam into each other, they should both be destroyed?

I agree that the DPS an ADS can generate is insane but how easy they can be destroyed is just stupid.

And for the sake of argument, in reality if one aircraft collides with another aircraft at high speeds, what happens? ok so by that logic a jlav should not need any r/e attached to it in order in blow up a tank when it crash into it at high speed, but that is not how it work. with a tank you need r/e to do any damage to a tank by crashing into it. so why does it only take a tap from any other drop ship to blow up an ADS? it does not matter how much shields i have on my ADS i could stack as many heavy shield extenders i can on it and still just get tapped ( not even a full speed ram ) and get destroyed. it not a valid tactic, just like jlav is not a valid tatic.........its just something that people with little to no skills against tanks or ADS use because it is not very costly to use a militia drop ship or lav and crash into a high costing tank or ADS.......and with jlav you need time to set up with leaves you open to get killed.....so no its not a valid tactic.
