Played AV vs same drop ship pilot 3 games in a row last night.
He was in a Hardened Incubus with an afterburner.
Survived 3 shots from Prof 5 Minmatar Commando swarms over a dozen times.
However, he averaged only 5 kills per match and about 500 wp.
Took down the Dropship maybe 4 times in an hours worth of battling.
Smart pilot, but ultimately he had very little impact on the match.
Had he been in a squad he could have sent scouts after me, but he was solo.

They used a railgun methana (I think with a damage mod) and two av guys, and would chase me down around the map and try to ambush me with the railgun, and if I got too close they'd blap me with forges. LAVs are tough to kill with a dropship if the driver moves around a lot.
Sadly, I lost my dropship to the null canon as I went in to extract some blueberries, and then the game ended
o7 Either they suck... Or they're just bad. call it a hunch I just didn't get very close to them. Flying is all about running now. They kept me from getting any real time over the objectives though, and were popping other vehicles along the way. WELL DONE to that "squad" of thinkers---and well done, Dust Fiend for calling attention to it. Even though it "ouch"s to get shot down (...and I will argue with you that DS work is about running away right now), I do LOVE to see a resourceful TACTIC shoot me down, especially when it involves using vehicles in a coop way. Players with vehicles seem to want to operate solo too much in the game---and don't see the players who've used great "pair-up" techniques to better effect.
And why shouldn't you have to run away? Everyone else has to get to cover when they are shot at...
So why in the hell is a 4000HP vehicle any different?
If there is no AV in the field vehicles get to stomp with impunity.
