The Python feels like a Gorgon. The After Burner feels like a Shield Booster. The Swarms feel like a knife through the whole ADS Community heart. Y SEESEEPEE? ADS went from the tip of the food chain with SKILL to not even being on the food chain. And lowering the price just made it feel like you are giving us trash on "sale". The Incubus is flying like a Soma. The ADS Community is welcome to fly there thoughts on this thread and kick CCP where it hurts.

Its been so long since you've seen a scrub Pilot that you're scared of well trained Pilots. In the Pilot chat I'm currently in, we share complex opinions and views on certain things and I think you would see what I am conveying better if you were in there. Also, you probably lack the teamwork to even compose some good AV. I don't think 1 person on AV should be able to destroy one Dropship. if that is the case then why doesn't the Proto Swarm cost 200k? Why didn't it Cost 322k before HF Delta. Why do people continue to think that 1 AV = 1 ADS. 1 ADS > 1 AV. You don't realize that AV is trying to put 1 AV Logi on the job to take care of there ADS issues.

One AV person, who's fitting (swarms) can only damage vehicles and nothing else, is incredibly specialized in killing vehicles. They should kill vehicles.
Why should one player in a dropship require multiple players to kill? One player equals one player.
If 1 ADS does not equal 1 AV, than 1 ADS is OP.

This game has the base of being team based with roles and everything Assault dropships are one of the many things that have no useful role and just throw raw power towards a single player, which easily breaks a team based game as the players need to rely on other players. Any tweaks that tone down ADS power is any difference that will do more good than bad.

As a forge gunner, I really feel the dropship pilot's pain. I can completely shut them down and force them back to their redline by myself. I really don't understand why, in all these AV arguments people can't comprehend how OP my forge gun is against them.
ADS really gave me a challenge as a forge gunner and i feel like it's a shame that now they have to hide from me for 35 seconds now instead of 10. I guess I should say goodbye to those thrilling engagements that kept me on my toes.
CCP could you just stop removing content and start adding it? So many pilots - LEGENDARY pilots - have quit this game.

Whomever, may have have used 2 shield Boosters or had enough time to recover.

Try putting 2 people on the AV Job I personally plbelieve it should take somewhat a small team effort to destroy these things. I was training with a small group of newer players and while facing a Madrugar with an Ion Cannon it only took 3 of us with 1 Militia FG and 2 Militia Swarms to destroy it. We did face a Python wwith and downed it with the same gear. Stop trying to snap your fingers to get your problems taken care of and put some effort into it.

No, but an AV should have at least as good of a chance of killing a tank as that tank has of killing the AV. Then again I make tankers cry with a 136k AV Suit. I have downed an ADS before by myself although I do prefer it to be with 2 people. And again when your AV suit costs 400k I promise I will agree to 1 AV taking on 1 ADS. The cheaper the gear, the weaker the fear.

Sure, two people for AV makes sense, if it requires two people to operate your ADS.

An extra 100k ISK for your fit shouldn't mean you never have to replace it.

Have you considered the things the Pilot has to do? Check surroundings, watch for tanks, rammers, AV Assault Drop ships, flying itself. All the swarmed has to do us point at the ADS and be in range. May not require 2 people to operate but it sure does require a lot more skill. Also, they said it should be more for transport but that demeans the whole idea of an "Assault" Dropship.

Again, you're still trying to argue you should need two people to kill you.
At any given time, maybe three to five people can even damage your ADS. Meanwhile, all 16 people on the team can kill an AV user. And you're going to cry about having to watch for threats around you?

The way you said there are 16 enemies trying to kill you, there are also 15 friendly's on your team that should be protecting you. Say I drop this cause for 2 people to use AV, in perspective the ROF's are not very good at all. The Python ROF is highly useful in killing those pesky Heavies that can now drop you before you can destroy there armor. Maybe they should have added the high ROF ($mGêå|| Missle) for all Caldari vehicles and just put the ADS effects on the other vehicles of that race (besides Onikumas, Balochs, Somas, Sicas). I may slightly agree with the ROF reduce but the Pythons climb rate seems really ****** up. It legit feels like a Gorgon. By changing the ADS they just killed it and offered us better Standard Drop ships.

Logically, to me, average for the entire game would have to be just under 1.0. Because every kill counted counts as a death somewhere, plus suicides, which don't grant anyone a kill.

No, one AV should kill one vehicle that is equipped for offense over defense. If equipped for defense, said vehicle wouldn't or shouldn't be much of a threat. This could be tweaked server side by adjusting the fitting costs of proto turrets vs. complex mods and nerfing the standard and advanced turrets relative to the proto.
Same with infantry. Defense and offense could be more contrasted.

Im not saying flying tank, all i'm saying they are hard to fly and get any kills with and now with even more area denial they are made useless at least in my hands. With the over saturation of forge guns prior to delta and now with swarms just owning all of the sky. I went from being able to survive two rounds before having my dropship blown up by being able to maneuver away from enemy fire regardless of being denied the air. It made it rewarding when you got in there and were able to take your shots and get out like a dropship should.....
right now trying to fly evasive actions the dropships handling is sooooooo bricked that it makes no sense.
All i'm saying is that considering how much time it takes to get to your dropship not being a total glass cannon and the amount of money it costs to buy one kitted out only to fly in and get taken out right away because the flight dynamic is all wonky ...... is less than fun..... and again one of the only things that made this game fun for me lately was flying a dropship and doing evasive moves and trying to get my shots off ........ |

it's not the AV that sux it's the large unmanned turret installations that decide to randomly track a dropship on top of all the player AV and when this happens all large turrets begin to track it, there's no breaking this random aggro that was supposed to be REMOVED... it's ok tho because someone showed me the new way to destroy them last night so they can shove their stupid OP large turret installations up their ass.

First: ADSs are a glass cannon. You pilots treat it like it should a be a flying tank.
Stop HOVERING for long periods of time and be smart. ADSs weren't and will never be Gunships. You guys cry that you have so much skill because you have to watch out for threats.... guess what. So does everyone in Dust. It's a little thing called Situational Awareness and anyone that has played Dust for long periods of time will have developed that trait. Not just pilots.
Do strafing runs. That was CCP's intended role for the ADS
Stop crying because you can't hover over an area packed with enemies and kill them all and quickly flee at the moment of even slight counter against you. That makes you look like a scrub that was only using the ADS to farm infantry and help up your KDR.
If you needed the 50% rate of fire Python missile skill to kill infantry WITH missiles then you should stop playing all together. Small missiles on a Dropship/ADS have been an OP combo for months. But the Python was OP in terms on how fast it could let high alpha damage with little to no threat. Also if I can perform extremely good in my ADV missile Incubus that has no bonus to missils whatsoever, why do you need the 50% rate of fire bonus on your Python that has Proto missiles?
All these changes were long coming and I warned you all to minimise ADS infantry farming exploits or else the ADS would get nerfed. But all you pilots decided to still use to farm infantry. Now that the changes have come and it is a little harder for you to farm infantry and you are whining about it, either stop flying or leave the game. We don't need anymore try-hard scrubs in this game.
PS: I'm an ADS pilot. One of the very first. They were the first thing I skilled into when Uprising made it's debut because I love to be the pilot of aanything that resembles a jet. Back then, there were so few of us. Even for months ADS pilots were a rarity in games. But when there was one, you could see how skilled they were.
Then 1.7 dropped. I startred seeing more and more ADSs. 8 out of 10 matches were packing 1 or 2 ADSs. When tanks got nerfed in 1.8 and Railguns Alpha. Almost every match had an ADS farming infantry and destroying vehicles in the field with no risk to them because they needed no maneuvers to counter AV. Just hit the AB and fly high up to the ceiling and wait for health to comeback.
The ever increasing spam of ADS per match made it seem like it was starting to be a FOTM. Most of these pilots presented no skills whatsoever. Just use a Python with missils and anyone woul go up to 30-0 a match. Now that said FOTM ha been made to require skill and timing to dodge AV you guys cry? HTFU and learn how to dodge AV instead of spaming the AB and heading towards the ceilingor redline.

You don't realize that AV is trying to put 1 AV Logi on the job to take care of there ADS issues.
Sooner or later almost every pilot who complains about AV reveals this belief, one AV player should not be able to kill a vehicle. This is why I take most pilot's complaints with a grain of salt.
Because, that's why.

Stop crying because you can't hover over an area packed with enemies and kill them all and quickly flee at the moment of even slight counter against you. That makes you look like a scrub that was only using the ADS to farm infantry and help up your KDR.
If you needed the 50% rate of fire Python missile skill to kill infantry WITH missiles then you should stop playing all together. Small missiles on a Dropship/ADS have been an OP combo for months. But the Python was OP in terms on how fast it could let high alpha damage with little to no threat. Also if I can perform extremely good in my ADV missile Incubus that has no bonus to missils whatsoever, why do you need the 50% rate of fire bonus on your Python that has Proto missiles?

Infantry runs higher risks. Especially AV. Swarms are AV only. No chance whatsoever against infantry, so it's only normal for them to be the best at AV.
Forge Guns at least have a chance against infantry. But now that splash is gone in all FGs except Assault ones,Assault FGs are now the to-go AV weapon for heavy AV.
And respect to you man! I stopped using blasters in my Incubus ever since I returned in 1.7 (I was out between 1.5-1.6 do to TV breaking down) and they were much crap than ever before.

That's not to say that I don't agree with what Soraya is saying right now; as a seasoned Logi and beginner pilot, I'm leaning toward what Soraya is saying a bit.

Why should one player in a dropship require multiple players to kill? One player equals one player.
If 1 ADS does not equal 1 AV, than 1 ADS is OP. /aplause
You forget that many players can just train up their AV and then spam it at will. We're dealing with the difference between a player who wants to play a role and power players that just go pull out whatever to get a kill. This game has been ruined by that.
Force infantry to stick to the AV role in a match then we'll talk. I'll say again, the answer is to have greater contrast between offense and defense. If you equip for defense then you won't be so good at offense but will be able to take the hits. If you go offense then one AV equals one vehicle.
It is wrong to make AV so powerful when one can simply skill it up as a FOTM, reequip at a depot or on respawn then go right back to being non-AV. In the meantime I am still trying to run a dropship.

Why are we forced to spend beeping piles of SP on our ADS Skills while AV hardly spends half as much? Obviously the one that requires more skill should have a greater reward.

That's a null point, as he's referring to the Swarm Launcher, not a Secondary Weapon. Let's see, AV and Flux Grenades. Swarm Launcher/ Forge Gun, Proficiency & Ammo. ADS on the other hand buy #3 Standard Drop ships. #3 ADS (as AV would go for 5 so do Pilots), #5 Python and Incubus. Armor and Shields up to 5. Optimization and other boosts. Without finishing all the Armor & Shield skills we have to buy, let's move onto turrets. #5 Missle, Blaster, Rail. Reload for Missles. Proficiency 3 (likely 5) for gunners. I think I've gotten the idea of who spends more SP but who knows? I may be wrong.
Edit: AV may also use Proto Nano's.

Also, the lv3 Swarm does well enough. Checking I looked at almost all my accounts and all odf them have at least lv3 Swarms. Now that hardly takes anything. You don't have to be devoted in order to buy an Advanced swarm and effortlessly drop an ADS where the Pilot has to be devoted to throwing piles of SP down.

Yes but see the Dropsuit can be used for anything else. There is no designated AV suit. So that really doesn't count as part of AV. I've seen Proto Swarms on Basic suits.

Doesn't change the fact that Small Turrets, and their secondary skills can be used with any vehicle in DUST 514, along with their Core Skills.
The only thing Dropsuits can do that Dropships cannot is repair, resupply, and hack objectives.

If you are to calculate my theory then you will prove my point even more. Even with all the extra stuff that you claimed ADS is still more SP. And, there are Basic/Militia suits provided to you as of beginning the game. You are welcome to calculate it as I am to lazy but you will +1 my point.

Okay then, why should a Swarm launcher not be able to solo an ADS?
because its a fire and forget weapon (and therefore requires little skill in its current iteration) that cannot be evaded on most maps
Why should it be able to solo a tank?
because its an ambush weapon that rewards getting tank blindspots (as opposed to ADS being able to fly away), and since the tank is not being knocked around, can fire back at the swarm user |

You don't have to be devoted in order to buy an Advanced swarm and effortlessly drop an ADS where the Pilot has to be devoted to throwing piles of SP down. Again, how are you going to use your Swarm Launcher without a Dropsuit? And most importantly, how are you going to get 3 hits off when each of your locks take 1.2s? Now that I think of it, how are you even investing into Swarm Launchers when you don't have Weaponry II and Light Weaponry IV?
Who's gonna benefit the most if both players decide to run an Ambush game?

Rather than get antagonistic I'll just say, losing 1 ADS per match is not ISK positive so pilots can't run vehicles every match and every spawn.
Their investment brings them no benefits outside of the vehicle, your chosen AV fit has a lot of overlap with AI |

Yes, but mathematics teaches us, for every kill you score, someone else is hence taking a death. So average KDR is about 1.

Why should one player in a dropship require multiple players to kill? One player equals one player.
If 1 ADS does not equal 1 AV, than 1 ADS is OP.
Actually 1 AV should be greater than one ADS :\

If 1 ADS does not equal 1 AV, than 1 ADS is OP. /aplause You forget that many players can just train up their AV and then spam it at will. We're dealing with the difference between a player who wants to play a role and power players that just go pull out whatever to get a kill. This game has been ruined by that. Force infantry to stick to the AV role in a match then we'll talk. I'll say again, the answer is to have greater contrast between offense and defense. If you equip for defense then you won't be so good at offense but will be able to take the hits. If you go offense then one AV equals one vehicle. It is wrong to make AV so powerful when one can simply skill it up as a FOTM, reequip at a depot or on respawn then go right back to being non-AV. In the meantime I am still trying to run a dropship.
Why would anyone choose to play a role all game that is completely ineffective at removing the threat it faces?
AV can't kill a properly driven vehicle, even after the newest hotfix, unless the vehicle driver is a complete moron or there are so many AV players opposing him that they kill him in one volley.
As long as AV is just an area denial tool instead of a killing vehicle tool, there will be no real deterrent on vehicles and no real reason to play AV.
I don't know anyone who trains up their AV to spam it at will.
What I have experienced is training into AV to help my poor blueberries not get farmed by invincible killing machines, and finding that that AV is completely ineffective.
So I start up a vehicle alt to counter vehicles with their only valid counter, more vehicles. After seeing how mindnumbingly easy it is to run a tank or dropship, I decide not to play that alt anymore because its so boring being invincible to almost everything the enemy can throw at you.
I go back to my main infantry character, after ignoring and evading vehicles constantly for a few weeks who are completely ruining the game for everyone who isnt in a vehicle, I grudgingly spec into a new kind of AV (forge guns, because swarms shouldnt be able to kill anything apparently) just so I can give my team a chance in hell of not getting farmed for the half minute during which I can run forge or swarms before some infantry come and slaughter me because I set off the "COME **** ME" sign of using AV.
Thats the real experience of using AV right there. Pilots who claim being a swarmer is some kind of easy mode kill farming fit are the biggest cunts in dust. Firing off a swarm is equivalent to setting off fireworks that spell out MURDER ME in the sky above you.
My swarm fits name is Suffering, or at least it was before I deleted it. The things are complete ****. Even now any competent pilot can get away from them unless 3+ people are firing them at you. |

I'd agree AV, a class designed specifically to kill v ehicles, should probably have a little bit of an advantage, but it needs to be a fight that either one can win. The big thing vehicles have on their side though, is the ability to leave an engagement. AV needs damage to compensate.
