Why are we nerfing vehicles that are already in a terrible spot?

This a nerf thread?
On a ads?
Ha no.... Just no...
Can we get a nerf thread on damn swarms?

a flat no. even if I agreed with anything your saying, which I don't, slower acceleration and torque has nothing to do with incubus vs python

incubus already suffer from both penalties after applying a single plate for hp, where the python doesnt.

pythons have an innate resist to av weapons more maneuverable, less durable.
incubus have more durability, penalty vs av weapons and less maneuverable.

I don't see where you should be encountering av grenades or even dumber, flux grenades, in a drop ship, but if you are, your doing something really really wrong.

As a vet Dropship pilot, i have to say that it all depends on your playstyle.
if you go full hit and run like i do, Incubus are bad because you have worse maneuvering, less Dps (even if it is barely noticiable now), have penalties vs Most AA weapons (Swarms n Rails) and you cant really achieve a recharge rate of 230 hp/sec while having as much hp as a Python.
If you go for a fit that has much more staying potential, Pythons suck because you can have less eHP, collision dmg is a ***** and you get knocked by almost anything while the incubus is a bit more stable can be thrown against a wall without losing 70% of its HP. Also you got perma reps.

With the right fit, the python can be even better than the Incubus in many cases (besides dogfights)

As someone who has every vehicle skill maxxed, i can tell you the python has more potential than the Incubus, because if the incubus is used as a staying platform, you will be eventually overwhelmed by swarms that you cant outrep or out run, while a hit and run python isnt normally overwhelmed by firepower because its constantly moving and when you are, you can out run the best AA weapons: the swarm.

The python fit ive always run has 3300 HP,pro turret and afterburner and rarely gets shot down if used smartly while my best incubus fit cant barely hold itself against swarm (might have smth. to do with play style)

The best buff for ADS would be done in 2 parts:
First in the Skills; Cal ADS gives more Splash, Gal ADS gives Heatsink
Second in Suits: Amarr gives bonus to Armour eHP , Cal Gives bonus to Shield regulation and Missile RoF, Minmatar gives bonus to Speed and Torque, Gallente gives bonus to reps and Hibrid RoF.
Pilot Suit Skills gives bonus to Module Cooldown

This verges into hyperbole, as calling any dropships semi-invincible, even an Incubus, just seems like an exaggeration. We've already established that dropships need love, so I think it's kind of counter productive to advocate nerfing one of them.

You seem to care very little about your own dropship, but instead look to be on a quest to destroy the other.

If we bring the Incubus down to near or about the Python's level, then all we've acomplished is to make both ADS' suffer.

If we buff one and nerf the other, we've simply flip-floped and remain in the situation we are in now albeit with roles reversed.

But if we simply bring the Python up to the Incubus' level, everybody "wins." Effective hit and run dropship for you, hardened anti-vehicle machine for me, and the AVers can continue to happily shoot us both down.

We can accomplish so much if we stay away from the mentality of "My toy is broken so I'm gonna break his" and instead look at things in a holistic and positive way.
