A 3% efficiency bonus vs vehicles per level, in addition to what we already have?

Pros: Dropships have a strong AV role, ADS can effeciently fly Air to Air combat against more heavily tanked but less damage applying kamikzee ships. No change in ADS vs Infantry.
Cons: Pythons will get wrecked. Pythons would need some love to compensate.
You think Python is worse than Incubus?
Python is the only serviceable ADS right now

You think Python is worse than Incubus? Python is the only serviceable ADS right now Right now ADS dogfights only end if one player is really, really bad. You just cant apply your damage consistently and fast enough against a good pilot. ^ this only because of -20% explosive vs shields + hardner == 80% resist to swarms
And forges, and rails, and missiles.....
Even I switched to Pythons

Stupid mobile....cant edit my post
Anyways, that's not what this thread is about. This tread is acknowledging that the mew racial bonus has severely limited our effectiveness as AV. Its a proposal to give us back some of our bite, while not effecting infantry at all.
Lets leave survivability to a different thread.

As a 2 year Incubus pilot (well, armor pilot, since they werent out in beta) who just switched to Pythons, I can say with relative confidence that Python is now the stronger AV option in most cases. Dogfighting between two skilled pilots is much different than a skilled pilot vs a skilled tank. It is FAR easier to break LoS in a dogfight, buying you time to either run or rep shields / armor.
Dps application towards tanks is much steadier and reliable than vs other dropships, if the other pilot is actually any good. Like I said, right now dogfights rarely end in a vehicle destruction if the pilots are any good because you simply can't apply enough damage quickly or consistently enough.
Dogfighting with a missile isn't much harder than with rails now that the RoF on both is so low. Leading is pretty easy.

Really? Rail Incubus is my easiest prey as a missile Python :) Your burst is much higher than his, reload as you break and regain LoS. Its still hard for either pilot to get a ship kill, and even harder to find an Incubus pilot, but Python has the advantage the entire engagement. I also only have 1 point in Pie Thongs, not that 12% is noticeable lol
There once was a time where yes, Incubus spanked Pythons, but that time has come and gone
