If they aren't being gunships now, then we should modify them to where they can be gunships. Buff that front turret and remove the side ones. We need an Apache-type vehicle.

We need an Apache-type vehicle. Most games allows for turrets to be able to hit said Gunships and killing them with very little hits, so either 1: No 2: A buff to turret elevation would be needed, and the passenger seats taken away as well.
I gladly accept. Then we return the 10% ROF bonus, small buff to base HP, and tack on some extra PG/CPU. Can take a little more punishment, at the cost of transport and gunner support.

Why should I care?" and I'll feel better? No. No, not at all, the game shouldn't be broken and CCP should work hard on fixing its numerous bugs. Let me do an analogy for you. Regular Dropships = Futuristic Army Black hawk These have turrets on the side much as the Dropship is, and has the purpose of ferrying troops in and out of battle Assault Dropships = Futuristic Apache These are meant to be offensive powerhouses and support the infantry by directly influencing the battle. While it is able to carry troops on the side, this is not its main purpose. That would be a gunship Does a Apache have seats? Also, does modern day tanks have defenses against gunships? Sorry, the Apache isn't a good analogy, the Mil Mi-24 is a better equivalent. Also, is this frickin' modern day, or is this 20000 years in the future? Maybe the Caldari were too stupid to figure out how to stop ADS's. Oh wait, did someone say swarm launchers?
To add to this, ADS should have been a light vehicle from the start. Not a lot of health, very maneuverable, uses speed and agility to survive, as opposed to withstanding the hits. Since this will never become a reality, we must make do.

This is exactly what it does, ADS's have small health in the first place, only slightly higher than LAVs, and have speed and agility much like the LAVs, but they are screwed over in terms of taking hits, an ADS should go down in 4-6 swarm launches and a little more with dual hardeners.
The problem is how huge they are. I'm talking a LAV in the sky. I mean hard to hit.

ADS as they should be balanced now, should focus on the assault part of their name, to the exclusion of transport. Right now we are giving them too many hats to wear: transport, assault, etc. We need to give them one job, and have them do that job well. That leads to combined arms tactics; various people who specialize in different areas come together to become something more than the sum of their parts.

Here's the thing:
The regular DS acts like this.
Pilots want the ADS to act like this.
But people seem to be insisting that the ADS act like this with a gun crammed into the nose.
The ADS should behave like this because each dropsuit/vehicle/variant should specialize in an area, and be very good at that one job. The ADS currently is trying to wear too many hats, so it's either doing those jobs well and OP, or doing them poorly and being UP. Give the ADS one job, namely assault, and let the DS cover the transport role.
So focus on this and get rid of its ability to be this.
