I have tried flying my vehicle ALTs drop ships for profit.

It seems impossible to make a profit unless I'm facing complete newbs or I try to save my arse every other minute and hide.
It seems impossible to actually make a profit and function properly.
I'm not on about ads, just the regular and the Myron as I spent beta using armour based ads/ds/tanks. I can fly absolutely fine as well.
I really can't imagine the ads being much better but the lack of slots puts me off so I'm not even giving it a try, screw that. Well actually the newbd up version we have of vehicles in general now has put me off them almost entirely.
My most prized mods are my 12 last mlt torque turbines.
The ADS is much quicker and more maneuverable than a standard DS. Add that to the RoF buff you get and you have a flying death machine that can easily destroy twice its worth in drop suits every match.
As to the OP's proposal you should perhaps look at Rattati's graph showing swarm impacts on ADS over time. It clearly shows that because of the current swarm speed it is impossible to hit a DS with more than two vollies if the pilot is more aware than a pet rock.
Under the new system swarms will have a chance of killing an ADS if the pilot does not start trying to evade once hit with the first shot. Notice I said chance of killing the ADS? This is because the swarms still have a 400m range, which can easily be exceeded by an ADS. Additionally since swarms are getting a boost to their speed they are also getting a nerf to their turning radius so you'll be able to get them to crash into buildings more easily if you're savy with your avoidance.
It really seems like there is a huge knee jerk reaction occurring here among vehcile users, which I understand since you feel like you are being attacked, but realize that this is part of the larger attempt to balance the entire game and not a personal attack. Lets all take some time to really think about what these changes mean, and see how they play out in the game before we start screaming for the Dev's heads.
Now with more evil.
