I also do not see the problem. You were hit by two rounds from cannon designed to anchor entire ground force battle lines and that can engage low flying star faring vessels with good effect.
More over you were likely (I am not saying you were just that chances are) flowing low altitude.

I blow them up before they get the first shot in.... if there is 2 tanks i shoot one until i get my 75 WP and run... repeat for the entire match... unless one tank is stupid and leaves the other... then i go back to blowing them up one at a time.

Even the smallest maps have plenty of space to avoid redline rails. 300m Max Range, and thats direct range not just horizontal so the horizontal range decreases the more altitude you have, because geometry.
Also a Damage modded Proto rail can easily pop a dropship in 2 hits, especially if they hit your engine pods for the bonus damage. And before you complain about rail HAV, imagine how an HAV feels about a dropship thats flying above it, being bombarded with literally no way to retaliate. HAVs are completely helpless against dropships above them without outside support.

If you're in a tank you can easily get out shoot swarms or forges and leave. Or just camp near the back like almost everyone and when a ADS gets close you can just go redline. ADS on the other hand are right in the open, and you have to be really careful with not flying too low or too close to buildings.

...I one shot a Maddy with a BFG before...I don't know what its fitting was, but then proceded to shoot at a soma that took 4 rounds before esplodding...so I'm assuming either failfit or specialty fit (I had hit the weak spot on the back)...if that was you I one-shot, I do feel bad about it...
but on the main topic...The problem here is?
Khanid Logi and Tanker, sometimes AV Heavy or Sniper.
I believe all these roles are support for front line soldiers.

Indeed but to be fair we cannot fly to shoot over cover, or manoeuvre so well as Dropships, nor can we run within the space of seconds to the flight cieling, and moreover are fundamentally we are designed to be able to take hits before we are destroyed.
Though I see your point. Large Turrets do need a re-think.
But come now HAV are just a present on the map as ADS, only one of 3 turrets has any range worth a damn and that is not a distant range at all.

I think the people saying the OP needs to "get good" are forgetting that the Railguns only had a nerf to range, but still have their same rate of fire. Even with taking immediate evasive action, the second Railgun shot will usually hit you and kill you.
This isn't even an option for Standard Dropships. A Myron or Grimsnes can't even get moving fast enough to avoid dying.
I brick 3500 shield HP on my Myron, and it does nothing to save me.

1. The moment I hear/see an enemy dropship enter the field, I call out my Particle Cannon and try to flank them around the outskirts of the map.
2. Pythons/Vipers do seem awfully squishy compared to an Incubus; I rarely see pilots dominate a match in one, whereas I still run into the occasional Incubus pilot that can survive and gain some good WP. Problem is likely the speed with which rail turrets can get off 3-4 shots compared to standard AV; buffing HP would only punish infantry AV while making little difference to tanks.

If it makes you feel any better I took 8900 damage in one shot (well, volley) from an XT-201 missile tanker, no DS in the game could survive that. Lesson: do not fly near the missile tank.
Also on the list of dropship insta-kills to watch out for:
- Null cannon missiles
- MCC -> MCC missiles
- RDVs
- the list goes on...
It's not great when it happens but if you fly carefully and reduce unnecessary risks it'll happen a lot less.
I guess.. sometimes bad things happen to good people..?

HAHAHAHAHHA BLOW THEM UP???? What do you think ADS is? It is a flying onikuma with a missile launchers. Assault dropships are underpowered, and i have tried this myself before commenting on topics like this. All you bitches commenting on this TRY FLYING ADS BEFORE YOU COMPLAIN
p.s I don't believe you just blow them up

Right. From an experienced in-game and IRL pilot's perspective:
Being shot down by a tank is not a wrong thing. We are aerial vehicles. We are inherently structurally weak - a two shot railgun kill is not this awful thing that it is made out to be. Our strength is our speed and agility - keep moving. You don't hover when there is a tank on the field!
If you are flying a STD DS or an ADS and haven't done a recon pass for AV (be it tanks, FGs or SLs) then you must accept that you take a huge risk. AV is now a real threat and you need to get used to that.
Don't b*tch at the tanker for carrying out his/her role. It is what they are designed to do, and it is the reason that we pilots get such bad press. We give up survivability for the advantage of being airborne.
FYI, if a tanker kills me with a railgun, then I either did something thick, or I give respect as the tanker has good aim! |

To people saying "don't let a Tank get two shots on you!", this is what a two shot looks like. It was more than likely a glass cannon Tank that took down the OP. Before you can really react to the first hit, the second hit is already on the way. Yes, you can avoid it by not being as easy to hit but saying "run when you take the first hit" isn't really going to help in the situation.
I will, however, go more in line with "it is not currently completely unfair." That kind of weapon would three shot an unhardened Madrugar fairly easily as well so it isn't just dropships that would be brought down by such a weapon in quick order.
