standard dropships got buffed in delta. Take one with two gunners and as many heavies as you can get and 9 times out of 10 that roof will be cleared.

I've always hated Domination, whoever leads in the early game is almost guaranteed to win. Not sure I've seen a good idea to fix it yet. Definitely open to ideas. Making vehicles OP again isn't really a good solution. Personally, I like the idea of nerfing the crud out of uplinks, but that's because I hate uplinks passionately as a game mechanic. ;) There's just nothing better than uplinks in the game right now.

As a note, Judge is out due to real life stuff, and he does take his commitment to the DUST playerbase quite seriously.

Play skirmish instead man, much more fun. Many more tactics to be utilised. I've always found Domination to be my least favourite gamemode in DUST. You do get some great matches sometimes, but there is only the one main focal point so for me personally it makes things a little dull sometimes.

That being said I think the matchmaking changes have had a mostly good impact on the game.

Yea man I feel your pain, I generally play solo. I switched up my style to accommodate solo play.

Hit me up when you next online. I've seen you about, your a shield tanker aren't ya?

Swarm Launchers weren't double-buffed.

In fact, other than reduced scaling per tier (which doesn't effect maxed SLs anyways), there has only been a single Swarm Launcher buff since Uprising 1.2.

But since I hate seeing players not having fun, I'll tell you what. When I get online, I'll send you 5m ISK; that should be enough to purchase enough throwaway DSs and HMG suits to last for 2-3 weeks.

If I'm online you can shoot me a message to squad up.

The answer use to be orbitals but everyone overlooks that nerf which many of us said would only hurt the guys not already stomping, thanks to the fact we can still get 2-3 orbitals in a dom and others can not even get 1.


To answer your question of how to get rid of them. 1 heavy with flux grenades and an hmg + 1 untouched militia dropship. Just fly to the ceiling and move into position above them then press the circle button and be sure to line up your landing before dampening.

1 all mlt heavy with fluxes 6000 isk
1 untouched mlt dropship 27000 isk
Watching a forge gunner freak and jump around while you cook him in the back with a hmg PRICELESS

Well that escalated quickly lmao!

Feel your pain delboy. I'm one of those rooftop swarmers so I figured I'd ad my two cents. I'm not one of those fotm swarm guys that spec'd in yesterday. I been swarming from day so don't chew my head off when I say these things.

Gotta remember to adjust tactics more than anything with this game bro. Maybe a pilot, though useful, isn't what you need to team up with. Maybe you need, as a tanker, a few ground troops! Preferably ones that know where to find swarmers! Scouts and heavies are in order!

Get in a cheap tank, and take a stroll to see where the swarms start from. Most rookie swarmers, like redline snipers, don't like to move once they've found a safe spot. Get the fastest shield tank you got, and watch the swarms! Head back to the redline, and recall. Get in a cheap dropship with a CRU, radio the hit squad of your location, and wait til you got a few airborne troopers on board! A heavy with a logi in tow, 2 or 3 scouts, or commandos with shotguns and AR's can clear any deck!

Now I know you said you were a solo player, but as you stated this game is harder for solo players. You must understand that the guys swarming you are probably not playing solo at all. Those attacks are coordinated long before you put tracks to road. I would advise having someone watch your back like judge did in the past, but from a different perpective.

Even a cheap dropship with gunners can make those rooftoppers scatter. Plus it's great fun to have the dropship gunners blasting away while the heavy/logi/scout team wreaks havoc on the platform! Plus you get transport points as well as kill assist!

Crying and whining about losing battles from roof top campers while sitting in the safe confines of your Missile tank. How ironic.

Or is it moronic?

You had me on your side about the bullsh!t rooftop campers until you said you wouldn't get out of your tank.

I have been in many dominations where they held the high ground and still lost because they couldn't defend the point. They were trapped up high. I have been in many battles where we were trapped up high.
