In all honestly we wouldnt have forum complaints about invicible tanks if we could counter them with dropships by beeing aible to use infantry weapons from passanger seats. The main complaint is that the tanks can drive behind a corner for a few secs and come back with full health. If we could use AV weapons from inside a dropship then tanks where forced to work with their team. For example they could counter a dropship that has a swarmer inside of it by having a squadmate jump out of the tank with a forge/swarms.
We should however restrict this to weapons only cause a armor tanked dropship with minlogis repping it like mad might be too powerfull. The idea is simple you just use teamwork, you combine a fast moving aireal vehicle (that requires 2 people) to counter a ground vehicle which can be operated by a single person.
AV on its own has aswell issues cause you dont just fight a tank, you need to aswell fight your way trough the infantry and if you dont have a commando this is hard to do. This whole thing requires teamwork and to be honest if a dropship pilot and a swarmer inside of the dropship are needed to take down a tank then it should aswell take a AV'er on the ground to counter the dropship. After all it has less tanking capability then any tank.

I think we could easily implement it, while keeping it balanced, by simply adding a "passenger-tower" type. In place of a missile/rail turret, we would have a gunner-seat instead. That easy. Just forbid heavy weaponry to be used such as forge or HMG and we are good to go! It would add a bit more fun and diversity in dogfights as well.
It would make the dropship role actually complete. Did you knew that when you fly a dropship and you hit "X" while flying you can open/close the doors on the side? Why else should a pilot be aible to do that if not getting your guys to open fire on a target or protect them from gunfire?
