If you're getting consistently outplayed by Python pilots, I'd suggest trying out a different fit. That shouldn't be happening. I believe the balance between Dropships is good. It's the omnipotence of swarms that I have a problem with. I dare disagree. There are so many downsides to armor vehicle its not even funny. And the upsides it has cannot be exploited because of reasons discussed below. Observe: Armor Upsides: 1. Reps constantly, even under fire 2. Hardeners last longer than shields Armor downsides: 1. Plates affect speed 2. Hardeners really only do 15%-20% damage resistance, as all real av threats are missiles 3. Reps are minimal for the damage for the damage caused by swarms Shield Upsides: 1. Repair rate is faster 2. Native resistance to real AV threats 3. Don't need to fit a repairer 4. Hardeners are stronger (+native resistance is even more) 5. No speed reduction Shield Downsides: 1. Tank not as much 2. No real buffer from alpha damage to activate hardener 3. No constant repair on main tank There are already more advantages for shields, now let's look at Incubus versus Python Incubus strengths in ADS v ADS: 1. Railgun does good alpha damage 2. Repairs are constant 3. Can fit damage mod (pretty rare and more likely replaced for an almost necessary afterburner) 4. Can fit more tank 5. Hardeners last longer Python strengths in ADS v ADS: 1. Hardeners are more effective than Incubus, albeit shorter duration 2. Has an advantage RoF wise 3. Has an advantage over main tank of Incubus (missle profile) 4. Has no overheat on missiles 5. Has native resistance on main tank versus rails (blasters... don't count for obvious reasons) 6. More maneuvarable 7. Better in CQC than blaster or rail Incubus (really?) Now, none of this can change until more anti shield weaponry is released, so this will be an ongoing problem. Quafe A question doesn't always have an answer, but a problem does, So what is DUST? A problem or a question?

Also an incorrect douche: in the time it takes to fire 8 missiles, you've fired more rail shots, which do marginally less damage per shot (477.62 vs missile 500.5) in a shorter amount of time with better damage application (there is vastly less travel time.) In 3 seconds, an XT-1 will fire 2.87 missiles (otherwise known as two) which, assuming both hit, deals 1001 damage (800.8 vs shields; 1201.2 vs armour.) The Particle Cannon fires (including charge-up) 4 (4.31) projectiles, dealing 1910.48 damage (1719.432 vs shields; 2101.528 vs armour.) Tell me again how rail gunners who say they do better...are somehow worse shots? If they can land more shots (which is inherently more difficult) against the evading target, why do you belittle them? I understand that you're frustrated about the Incubus being hurt vastly more by AV, but quit your bitching and try to actually provide useful posts: you used to.

Again, its because of AV not having a full gamut of effective weapons, also because the single most simple weapon in the game is anti-armour AV. Alt of Halla Murr. Sentinel.
DUST Fiend Onslaught Inc RISE of LEGION 15073	Posted - 2014.11.15 23:45:00 - [35] - Quote Landing hits with a hit scan weapon isn't harder than leading a target.... All im saying is that why take vastly more damage (we wont have a full array of AV weapons for some time) only to use a weapon with no anti infantry capability (as front mounted) that at best marginally outperforms missiles in AV. When two skilled pilots are dog fighting, there isn't much time to apply your damage because both pilots will be vying for elevation and constantly breaking LoS. Missile reload is fast enough that you're usually reloaded in the time it takes to re aquire your target. Plus, again, no anti shield weapons for ADS, so a shield ship with an anti armor weapon is always at an advantage over an armor ship with an anti armor weapon. Im very familiar with the Incubus, and thats why im pretty confident in my assessment that Python simply outperforms it at every turn. And, for arguments sake, a Python can fit a small rail and be just about as effective as an Incubus because lol 15% RoF, and you don't have the disadvantage of armor. I got sick of playing this game in the theoretical land of "what if" a long time ago. The only things that matter are those that actually exist, in game, right now.

Kallas Hallytyr Skullbreakers 959	Posted - 2014.11.15 23:57:00 - [36] - Quote If you're going to be upset, then lobby for change. Don't just sit complaining to your fellows, make posts, provide feedback and numbers and try and actually do something. Your whining is tiresome. Why fit an AV Incubus? Because as much as 15% is a guff primary bonus, the Incubus is more effective at the AV role, especially against the currently more prevalent shield vehicles. I do, often, call in my RailBus because it is better at destroying tanks and I'm far more effective at downing enemy DSs in it: sure, travel time can be accounted for, but why use the inferior weapon when I can destroy them quickly - if they are calling in plenty of vehicles, I'm going to be plenty occupied in my Incubus such that my lack of AP potential own irrelevant; if they're not calling in plenty of vehicles, I can down them reasonably in my Python then concentrate on AP work. Edit: At the end of the day, you're correct that the Incubus is outperformed very often by the Python, but this is because of the lack of racial parity. But your current trend of complaining is not helpful in any way and is irritating when you would otherwise provide a valuable, experienced voice. Alt of Halla Murr. Sentinel.

I find Python to be the superior platform on all fronts, including AV, and I strongly encourage everyone to ditch the underperformimg option and go for the strongest ship: the Python. Rat wants data?

Lets give it to him. Like I said in the other thread, I caved and switched to Pythons, its ridiculous how much more survivability it now has over the Incubus. I haven't bothered breaking out my rail Incubus yet in delta as I've wanted to be able to have a chance at defending myself agaisnt swarms. So I am not sure how it performs now but I did always prefer it to missiles for ADS VS ADS, was good for anti shield tanks back then as well. Shame that rails and blasters are all but useless in delta as you can never hang around long enough to land enough hits. Your game f'ing sucks, but I'll still play it, damn you! Turns out I wont.

Can you imagine how fragile Pythons will be takin 40% more damage than they are now? lol. Honestly, if CCP ever gets of their asses, vehicles are screwed hahaha. You do raise an excellent point though, about not being able to stick around long enough to apply your dps in an Incubus. Also, I still need to test more but Ive found that I dont always need an AB on a Python, where you you absolutely 100% need one on the Incubus Logistics Vehicles Bitter Vet extraordinaire, vehicle specialist, sarcastic prick

Sustained dps isnt too important on an ADS because you and your targets are always moving. In the time it takes to re target, missiles are reloaded in most cases. I REALLY need my HDMI converter back so I can just make videos on this, so much easier to just show lol. Also, if you slightly miss with a missile, you still deal decent damage (vs ground targets) where with a rail you will almost never apply your negligible splash damage.

(obviously excluding infantry av) Dealing damage to armor also gives you a better chance for vehicle damage WP due most likely to their higher HP totals and easy to hit weak spots.

That difference in ROF between the missile/rail !fans the rail is by far the superior in terms of damage. Sure it may be, but what about the resists? That 2-3 missiles will feel like 3-4, and those rail shots will feel like 5-4. And the Python recharged rate. In a short time, the damage done will be gone, while the Incubus will still be licking its wounds. Quafe A question doesn't always have an answer, but a problem does, So what is DUST? A problem or a question?
