And swarms should be the best AV weapon, theoretically, since they completely sacrifice anti-infantry capability, unlike the forge. Again I kill people in my swarm suit all the time you do not sacrifice much anti infantry. You just sound like another whiner. |

We're both discussing our personal opinions, really. The fact that the ADS was statistically OP isn't really debatable. It's a fact. But we don't have statistics yet for Delta, so there's no facts to be had yet.

Not all by any means but you can see what I'm getting at. I Shouldn't be capable of going 30-3 in a bpo and lose every ads I call in while killing four to ten. I lost more money than before the price was reduced and could hardly break even on kd flying. I was paid to fly in pc ive done it for a while. |

I've seen some posts but nothing in here regarding ADS.
I am not a pilot but I am an avid forge gunner who likes a challenge. These ADS changes have turned AV into EZmode. |

Effectiveness for the ISK cost is actually something CCP can determine with the aforementioned statistics.

Testing the delta numbers will demonstrate the veracity of the various assertions here.
I don't pretend to have much of a sample size of playtime on Delta yet, but I am listening to both sides and Derrith has my ear, as well as anyone who wishes to get a hold of me.
Knowing the bloated KDR of the ADS prior to Delta I'm confident a nerf was in order for the ADS in some way (module and/or turret and/or hull), I also know swarms were almost useless as solo AV compared to a forge or rail tank or especially rail incubus as I could demonstrably avoid swarms very easily unless they were putting multiple swarmers in one place and firing in unison the first time. Anything else and I would just AB away and/or avoid the area.
Espy's sarcastic tone aside (really brah, you might be taken seriously if you drop the attitude) his assertion that all the changes may have been overkill, which will mean a couple of small tweaks to make ADS a bit better assuming swarms are in a good place.

It was factually OP. It really isn't a debatable thing. The statistics are staggering, and CCP Rattati lays it down here https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2371528#post2371528 and here https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2361400#post2361400
I wish the actual numbers were public, but the fact that they aren't does not make them less true.

Dropships take 3 forge hits to down so just get a buddy and only 1 of you has to get 2 shots on him. Swarms i admit are underpowered bit i dont think theyll ever be op to dropships, because they come at you the same way everytime so you get used to it. Now with the rof nerf dropship battles are nonexistent dropship/tank battles are nonexistent. I can still kill infantry just fine but man you guys when you balance you do not see the big picture because you dont play the role. So balance it only around infantry whatever. |

Derrith Erador wrote:Kaeru Nayiri wrote:Derrith can I have your input on something, please?
I want to get this idea to gain in popularity: Scrubbing swarms. Let's say there was a way to make swarms lose tracking through a scrubbing motion or by making them bend beyond their ability to turn. How do you feel about the idea and how could we go about balancing it?
I find it boring when I am forced to sit out for 45 seconds waiting for my hardners to come back before getting back into the fight, only the be instantly chased away again by the same swarmer that I cannot find. If instead I was able to scrub the missiles I would actually be doing something other then sitting and waiting to re-engage. You mean techniques to make swarms go off target? Perhaps, but I honestly don't know how you'd go about this, so I'm afraid I cannot any decent insight. I do enjoy the idea however, would give us more to do than duck behind a building and hope for the best.
If the swarms math is done correctly there should be an degree of angle to turn the dropship where the swarms can pass or you can pass them by, depending on which way you choose. It should be anywhere from 0-¦ - 90-¦ degree angles. 90-¦ is an "T" shape, the top or lower half of the letter can represent the angle depending if you are trying to make the swarm missiles pass you or you are trying to pass them. The issue is the degree angle has to factor in according to the swarms speed, but swarms are still not affected by its turning radius for tracking.

How long is there the person who can play an active part in ADS? Mass SP and experience are necessary to become able to play an active part. The strong person does kill more than ADS in foot soldiers, is it not same as it?

Only an idiot would ever go lvl 5 in caldari/gallente assault dropships because the skill is a joke. 15% rof @ lvl 5 that's about as useless as dropsuit command 5. But what am I ranting about? Flying ADS takes no skill. Aiming and flying is EASY. It takes alot of skill to lock on and shoot swarms that THE GAME AIMS AND TRACKS FOR YOU. Keep up the good work. :) the "numbers" will really be good when "they" turn to 0. Yes, I understand that pain. I had Proficiency 4 in Swarm Launchers, along with Rapid Reload 4 and such. They've been literally unable to kill anything in the game since 1.7. It's really nice CCP has made them worthwhile again.
What are you on? I don't use swarms often, but when I do I don't have issues killing anything. Especially if I have another player using a swarm the right way (Not standing in the open running towards a tank or jumping on a mountain waving at the dropship) it works wonders.

Hey Nora it seems that maxing out your turret, shield and armor optimizations are very important. Right now this seems to be the most important thing for pilots to survive while using an afterburner. I hope this answers your question.

I hope this answers your question. wrong, I'm afraid. Shield and armor OP are good if you get them at 3, armor is good at 4. But that is only if you're using the ADS, and not tank.

When you learn the difference between subjective and objective, you can come back and actually give meaningful feedback. The Feedback section is a place to make the game better
Lets excuse the blatant racist remarks and overall ego trip that is your thread, and try to look at your feedback.
Game One:
I really don't see a problem. Four players (if you include the gorgan pilot) dedicated their roles to making you useless. How is a 4:1 ratio or even a 3:1 unbalanced to ADS pilots; especially when those players where using a hard counter towards your vehicle. I am sorry you can't drop those 20 and 30 bombs anymore .
Game Two:
You went 16-0... Even the opposing team switched up to counter you... militia or not.
CCP don't even waste your time on this trash.

1) Feedback is the new war room. As far as I'm concerned, Reggie was just feeling lonely and needed someone to talk crap to.
2) I'm supposed to act professional while he isn't? Yeah, screw that, if he's gonna talk some crap, than I don't see why I shouldn't get a little fun out of it too.
3) Racism, again, I'm Latino.
4) This thread is pointless, you have me there. Well, you would've, if this thread started around page 3.

Confirming you're 12
1. IDGAF how many time you killed in PC, FW, or Pubs. It has noting to with my post or my feedback
2. IDGAF about your scores or your PC feats. The feedback section is here to make the game better and more enjoyable.
