Sounds to me like you aren't actually a dropship pilot, but instead trying to be Jan Michael Vincent in Airwolf. If you can't drop off a fire team without dying to swarms, it's because you are trying to be a slayer, in a transport vehicle. But its called Assault Dropship, and I have a weapon strapped to it! Well, logis carry a weapon too, but it's not their role to be a slayer. Most of us remember Cal logis with Duvolle TARs being FOTM once upon a time. Your month just ended when Delta dropped. You aren't a slayer. Stop flying like one. Drop off your team, recall that tin can and come play Scouts and Heavies 514 like the rest of us!  |

They needed changes for sure, I welcomed the balance with the small decrease of cost. I think they might have gone overboard on the swarms, if you want dropships to have to dodge then missiles need to turn much slower than '80'.
Or maybe Dropships can go back to, you know, dropping dudes off, instead of killing ****. Just sayin. |

I hate to break it to you Mr. Experience, but I just went 5/1 flying an Incubus in pub Domination. I dropped a dude on a building for droplink shenanigans, blew up a Methana, and killed a few dudes with my lol scrub launcher. I took swarm and forge fire the entire match. I did go down, but I was being greedy. Stayed on hit and run duty after that and did just fine. To top it off, I didn't even fit an afterburner. Fit a scanner instead. Apparently the Incubus isn't DEAD after all when you don't feel entitled to being a slayer. Go figure.
