Im not saying dropships are in a good place or they shouldnt be looked at, but give it some time.
The way I see it any buff for assault dropships would make them op to infantry, technically you're not supposed to be able to kill a proto tank with an ASSAULT(lightwieght low health/ hit and run tactic) dropship. If a tank killer is what you want, wait for CCP to release heavy dropships.
Not that I don't believe your story, but I don't believe it. That said, I think the balance between swarms and ADSs is fine as is, with improvements only needed for pilot target identification and acquisition (i've suggested that AV show up on pilot's HUD when they're attacking within 100m).
Rattati has stated why ADSs are supposed to be able to counter tanks. Personally, I haven't had much more trouble than usual against the new tanks, but I could see some room for improvement for both rails and missiles (specifically, slightly more damage/a better RoF bonus from the Incubus and the proposed AV specific missiles, respectively).

For example:
This Shield Hardener cost really messed up my fittings as I rely on them to tank 3 shots with X. Is it possible to increas PG by 10 because the nerf was meant for triple hardened Gunnlogis.
Thanks,
Smart player
What about Pokey's spreadsheet suggesting LAV slot progression and my and others' numerous posts about the state of LAVs? Yet you haven't commented on LAV buffs other than "only increasing PG/CPU," which we believe won't solve their issues.
Can we at least start looking toward reintroducing the variants to reward those who invest the SP and risk the ISK?
