1. In your experience as an ADS pilot, what's your kill/death ratio now? Has it dropped under 6:1? Are you an under-average pilot, or do you have a K/D ratio that suggests that ADS pilots aren't underpowered?
There really isn't a third option, given that the ADS pilot stats haven't fallen to where any reasonable person would consider the ADS underpowered, in the absence of a better argument than you've presented.
2. I appreciate that you regret the loss of the days when the average ADS pilot's K/D ratio was 20:1, but can you understand why the rest of us didn't think that was particularly balanced?
3. How would you balance the ADS, without returning to those days of ADS's with 20:1 average K/D ratios? Few of us are going to support a return to clearly over-powered ADSs.
The assault dropship variants are underpowered, and kill death ratio is not something important to any dropship pilot. If they have been flying long from trial and error, add grinding ambush isk runs, veteran pilots, and etc. This kdr number is already broken beyond repair. As it stands dropships don't destroy other vehicles unless they have help from A/V or another vehicle. The slow rate of fire for the small turrets on the dropship eliminates it from engaging infantry and vehicles with a meaningful purpose. The only people you will see flying dropships are those who still enjoy flying, and pilots with the majority of their skill points invested into dropships and vehicle modules. As it stands it takes the best fittings or what most would consider a prototype fitting with a dropship for it to survive in most pub and PC games a like. Lazer Fo Cused from what I have understand is asking for game balance. Lazer may be emotional about this but we all have at one point in time on the forums due to changes that effect us.

Your making these numbers up.
