The ADS is not useless.
It's a lot harder to fly and isn't as influential as it was in the past, but it can still do work in the right hands. Sure, I've had to change my tactics but, hey, adapt and die, right? No use crying over it. It's still a lot better than it was pre-1.7.
That being said and all, there are still a few things I want changed as I still don't think ADS vs AV is balanced at the moment.
Dust was real! I was there!

Reduce rotation speed of a swarm and forge while locking/charging. This will allow a skilled pilot to get in close and orbit to break the locks and tracking of AV while still being susceptible to range attacks. Anyone outside the orbit of the ADS will still have an easy shot.
Increase ADS roll/pitch/yaw speed slightly to be more agile. This would not affect acceleration at all. Without an afterburner, it's painfully slow to maneuver and recover being hit, a little help in this area could go a long way.
Just a few ideas off the top of my head.

Oh, God the rail ADS is just AWFUL! I have lvl4 Incubus and I swear it shoots slower than lvl0 pre-Delta. Not to mention it only gets like 6-7 shots now before overheating. Anti-air is almost impossible, I've switched to only using my Python, even attacking other Pythons. Only things I've managed to kill with it are grounded, unpiloted Gorgans and even that took me a bit.
RoF needs slight increase (honestly the ADS skill should be 5%, but I haven't done the math on that yet), and it's overheat put back to where it was.
