I've been a Gallente loyalist from the start, refusing to ever once skill filthy ass caldari out of sheer principle.
The incubus was always the underdog, but now, its on the exact same chopping block as my beloved Prometheus. Rattati, the DUST Judas, has betrayed us. The Pie Thong is his piper, and oh how he dances to its fiddle
Even I, a great champion of the Federation, have been forced to infiltrate this Villains lair, and steal his precious craft.
Using the Pie Thong is the only recourse. We have been stripped of our teeth, declawed and neutered. He is a madman, cackling behind a mountain of irrelevant data. We...we could not best his diabolical aim to destroy us from within
Damn Caldari scum got to our manufacturing lines...

thus the general consensus is that most dropship pilots are terrible, maybe gitgud?
Tanks advanced swarms and thinks hes good. That or runs dual hardeners one rep and can literally only tank those three swarms then flies around at flight ceiling praying no one so much as sneezes his way.
Honestly though, given your past posts, im just gonna call BS on basically anything you say about dropships.

I could take a dump on my keyboard amd come up with more relevant posts than you

Last night in PC I ran a Minmando mk.0 with a prof 3 Wirykomi (I know I'm butchering the name) swarms. The ADS' stood no chance, it was a 3-hit kill to every dropship unless they used a shield booster in between. Heck, even PARTH0K was there, he was useless.
Until CCP fixes AV there is no point in running ADS'.
Edit: The Minmando with Swarms is when the swarms do the most damage btw.
Do those guys run Incubus in PC? if so I'll have to chat with them about their fits and tactics

Everyone runs Pythons in PC, the only time I see an Incubus in PC is for transport or on rare occasion there is an Incubus trying to AV tanks.
Ok, thats what I figured but I dont play PC. Small rails are worse than small missiles for AV now anyways, so there is literally no reason to pick an incubus over python

See, I find Missiles to be easier to dog fight with because they have higher burst damage, which is what you need against good pilots because they'll move around too much for you to sustain that dps. its so easy to drop out of sight for moment, pull up behind them or just disengage. Leading missiles is easy enough. I will yield that a side rail is useful in that your gunner can apply his dps consistently, and with missiles still killing their gunners, its the best side turret option.
I literally have every relevant skill for dropships and small turrers maxed, except pythons which has 1 point, but the new rof is a worthless buff anyways so it makes little difference. Given that, for me at least, front missiles are now the superior AV option for both shield and armor vehicles, its what i use.
I see little incentive to take almost 50% more damage when I cant even have a good hardener (shield hardeners are boss as ****)
I despise Pythons, have since the day they were released, but I no longer see the silver lining in the puffy harmless cloud that is the incubus. So, if you can't beat em...

The only real problem I have is the fact that swarms seem to still be able to follow me around corners. Flying standard drop ships is much more fun than it used to be though, so overall I'm enjoying it. It's because swarms don't have an expiration time like missiles are supposed to have.(Seriously no missiles should have infinite thrust)
They do expire, but its after like 400m of travel time, which is a good chunk of the map

Rails as side guns are NOT "pure AV", at least not in practice. While I agree that a steady craft with a decent gunner can apply consistent dps with a rail, it is marginally better than a simliarly aimed missile. This doesn't mean the rail in and of itself is bad at AV, its simply that its pros barely outweigh its cons, even before its compared to missiles.
And, the bit about not being only AV. Small rails now are really good for blapping infantry.

Oh I agree whole heartedly. CCPs execution of vehicles and by extention, turrets, has been....interesting, at best.

I realize that talking logically about facts would resemble said refuse, and while I do desperately wish I could unlearn years of flying to see eye to eye with you, I sadly cannot respec IRL (could use one though)
Armor is dead. Post some real proof instead of your anecdotal nonsense that doesn't stack up to testimony from the vast majority of armor pilots. Please, by all means, share with the class. Enlighten me, oh wise one.
