Pilots and anti-Pilots

some numbers are in.

Overall it seems that we successfully toned down the Assault Dropship power, and buffed the Dropship power.

Looking at dropships compared to other vehicles, we are fairly happy with how the Python is playing out right now.

There is a good solid spike of efficiency for the Small Blaster as well, correlating with the Grimsnes taking a leap upwards.

The Incubus is still very powerful but not as powerful as the Python.

The Myron is just not very good at all, and nothing changed with the increased EHP/PG/CAP and Turret changes.

Let's explore together simple ways to tweak these two.

Personally, not a fan of the rapid fire railgun turrets, please keep that in mind.

Also keep in mind that the ROF on railLAV's was reduced on purpose, due to infantry sniping.

Maybe a combination of increasing the Incubus bonus to ROF slightly, or simply removing the 70% rail turret inefficiency against vehicles and then increasing chargeup time rather than decreasing ROF to balance? Or heat?

On the Myron/Grimsnes, someone advocated more maneuverability without increased speed, sounds like a fine idea.

Experienced Myron pilots, what about it's fitting style or bonuses makes it so much worse than the Python.

(A similar question but off topic, the Gunnlogi is quite less efficient than the Madrugar, bonus points to explain why)

Appreciate the feedback

(A similar question but off topic, the Gunnlogi is quite less efficient than the Madrugar, bonus points to explain why) Appreciate the feedback I'm not the best of Pilot's however as far as the gunlogi goes I'd say the main problem is turret rotation. This isn't how fast it can turn but how far up/down it can move it's cannon. The Madrugar can look so far down in fact it's turret basically goes through the hull of the HAV, where as the Gunlogi can only go about half as far. This being said it gives an added advantage to the Madrugar as far as tactics go thus making it more favorable. (I hope that helped some) I Like Tanks, Nova Knives and MagSec SMG's.

If you run a blaster it rotates the fastest. Rails rotate slowest if I recall. Turret type dictates tracking speed, not hull type. Well not to be rude but you didn't read my entire post I said that it is not this type of rotation but it is how far up/down it is able to move it's cannon I Like Tanks, Nova Knives and MagSec SMG's.
