you get killed by one shot from av 0.o

please do explain why my fully specced out commando + proto swarms shouldnt be able to kill you.

Minmando mk.0 with prof. 3 proto swarms here to say swarms are OP.

I wish vehicles were fun again, maybe I would get on my vehicle alt then...

Pocket... I don't know what game you're playing, but the other night in a PC I was three hitting PARTH0K (if you don't know who he is, he's an okay pilot).

He was running a Python with about 3000 shield.

ROF knocked up to 5%, yes.
LogiDS coming back, HELL YES!
rest of the other stuff... respectfully disagree

But what do we know? We're just the people that fly these things nonstop and know it's ins and outs like the front of our hands. No way we'd know what could possibly balance our craft against what is designed to combat us?

The sad part is I had to change up my sexy playlist:

Pre delta sample: Ain't no stopping us now
Post Delta sample: Fly away from here, you know, because that's mostly 80% of our piloting community can do these days.
Yet, sadly, the AV and vehicles are like the Capulets and Montagues, neither will be pleased until they're on top.
And while we're here, I have a message to those pilots who quit on your beautiful vehicle, from your vehicle. They're very sad that you left them for that other slut, and they want to know how you could do that to them.

Same thing happens to the Myron.

I was on Ashlands flying over the pipes to destroy uplinks, and a single forge shot flipped me 90 degrees and I fell to the ground before I could even react.

I mean, I fit 3500 shield HP to try and avoid getting instablapped, and it happens anyway because the AV will just throw me into things.

Your swarms that requires 5mil sp to spec into should not easily take down a python the king of dropships that requires 20mil sp to proto out, not to mention the fact that it's an armor based weapon. The ads should be able to sit and take at least 3 volleys, you should have to reload and finish a second into a fully fitted Python. What you may not understand is that the ADS has been nerfed to the point that it can't even use any proto modules without a PG upgrade which uses up the 1 and only low slot on the ship. HOW DOES A VIPER HAVE MORE SLOTS THAN A PROTO PYTHON???? If you're going to take on a python one on one it should be with the plasma cannon or other SHIELD based weapon because that's all it is. I like the RACIAL differences in this game and agree with the added intelligence requirement in strategically using the right TOOL for the job. YOU swarmers should not be able to knock around my ship like a redheaded trailer queen at closing time, and you should have to work a lot harder to knock down my shields with a missle. HONESTLY THE ARROGANCE THAT A 47k HANDHELD WEAPON (NOT HEAVY WEAPON) SHOULD JUST BE ABLE TO EASILY DESTROY A 600K PROTO SHIP THAT TAKES 6MONTHS TO SKILL UP INTO IS ASTOUNDING. The ADS should have enough time under fire to aim and release it's payload. Right now my python can be shot down by one wyrkomi swarm before I even get a chance to aim and fire 3times which is what it takes to kill a commando. I end up hurried and guessing at a few shots and running away. I would really like to sit outside the lock on range of a swarm but its nearly impossible to judge the 25m difference between missle range and swarm lock on range. In conclusion: MORE MODULES, MORE PG/CPU, DEVELOP COUNTERMEASURE FLARES, BUFF FIRE RATE BONUS 2%.

Uhm wow, look buddy you are a product of the misrepresented idea of dropships. You want to be a gunship pilot and that's all well and good, but trying to make the assault dropship a gunship is bad m'kay? I understand its hard to shoot av when they knock you all over, but av is meant to kill or route you.
The strength of the dropship is the teamwork aspect (if you didn't know teamwork is op) fit some turrets and get a good gunner or two, I cannot tell you how many times my gunners have saved my python from av. While I'm focusing on flying they are focusing on dropping targets, with the way the camera works for the pythons gun door gunners can do a much better job than you can. There are some issues with this that are worth griping about, namely gunners being able to kill themselves and the horrible rotation speed of turrets.
