AV Incubus is still boss as ****.
I run AB, Hardener, Plate & Rep with Railgun, and I usually only die to stupid random things, or when I get cocky and try some dumb ****. The main reason I rarely die? I hunt from way up high, and only swoop when I see a tasty vehicle or a red turret installation. I carry three uplinks with me and cycle them on roofs every now and then. The best part about THAT, is that it doubles as bait for tasty dropships
Most of my solo matches I go like 2/0 with 1800 WP, which helps a lot when trying to refill the wallet.
I originally used the complex damage mod, and while it seemed to be reasonably powerful, it still often lost out to AB incubus mobility. Plus, any good pilot knows that in dogfights, maintaining elevation over your prey is key, but you should also learn to shoot while upside down to scare off enemy's who gain this advantage over you. The afterburner is your real defense against AV, letting you break away from swarms and giving you the thrust required to time your evasive maneuvers against forges and rails (this includes small rails)
Best part about AV Incubus though is fighting other AV Incubus. AV in general is pretty much balanced at this point, though anti shield AV needs to be evened out. Just dont make anti shield swarms because lololooolol.

Hey look a dropship player who actually played with his dropship and still found it was viable post nerf instead of just complaining about it like a ***** on the forums.
I'm shocked and impressed that you even exist. |

I always ground my Python whenever there's an Incubus out.
Of course I just call out my Incubus and shoot the bugger down, but stillGǪ

7 shots from my HAV, and I don't even use damage mods, I don't consider that to be unreasonably long as that is simply three shots, a short pause, three more, a small pause and a last one to finish it off without overheating. |

P.S. if you think ADS is fine, try being useful in a match that isn't full of starter fit players.
Edit: It takes almost a day to kill a red turret with an ADS same with a well fit tank. Turret installations go down in just under 2 clips. I live because i typically just stay out of AV range, since i only target vehicles. Missile incubus is a death trap now though, and no matter how they buff or change it, blasters will always be horrible front guns without a first person cam that swivvels with the turret.

As I originally said when the changes to dropships were introduced--the good pilots will adapt and go back to dominating battles just as they did previously. Bad/new pilots are left facing a steeper learning curve, but that's okay.
Think I've faced you a couple of times in battle with my rail tank...I always make sure to have a place of cover nearby for when you come after me!

Oh my, another AV incubus.
I wish we trade fits and meet in the skies someday, whether you be red or blue.
In all honesty, droship on dropship is one of the most balanced and intriguing thing I've ever done in dust. It only sucks when AV interferes with a beautiful battle.
I find Air to Air like a dance. Come far, near misses, crazy maneuvers, till someone makes the mistake and falls in a ball Of fire. I also find AV Dropship pilots respect each other far more than anyone else.
Regardless of fit, anyone can win Air to Air. It's actually one of the most dynamic fitting role one may have. I see reptank'd, Brick tanked, and even high level pythons getting in on the action.
Why can't anything else be like air to Air.
^ sorry, i went on a little too long about that, i love it too much.
Anyway back on topic. AV ads (or as my friends call it "Anti-ADS") is one of the most intriguing and fun thing one may do. I'm happy that you guys agree too. Sure the k/d is low, but the isk, wp, and respect you earn makes up for it.

You just now figured this out? Really? Also, shield booster is better than AB against both AV and another ADS. One free hit and then maneuver against another dropship.
I'm better than laser focused; I'm hybrid focused.
