I often complain about the AV vs ADS balance, and thats from an incubus pilots POV, but the python my god I would never even try and use one of those these days, I almost feel bad when I shoot one down in a dog fight. The slightest bump or below average landing will kill their HP or just destroy the ship outright, while an incubus can nearly bring down a tower before it dies from hitting things.

It should not take 10 seconds for an AV player to kill a python, or make it run away. A tank, which is also a vehicle that takes very little skill to kill with when compared to ADS, would laugh at that.
You can't compare a tank to a dropship in terms of how much damage they should be able to withstand. Dropships are not supposed to be flying tanks. They should be much more fragile than tanks.
I'm not saying dropships are perfect, but they're not nearly as bad as you're making them out to be. A lot of players, including myself do pretty well in them.
Yeah the problem is the AV weapons are balanced against tanks, some say they aren't good enough against tanks atm, but they are almost certainly too good against ADS.

Just because a dropship is expensive doesn't mean it should be able to fly around the map without a care, disregarding AV.
Pilots aren't asking for that, I think most pilots would be happy if they didn't get omfgwtfbbq'd by one minmando, soon to be calmando.

Without a team of foot soldiers you're gonna get blown up because the mean ol' AV are out of reach but if you coordinate an attack with squad mates taking and defending an objective would seem like an pain. Or you can just hop in a maddie an wreak sh+»t up.
Heh swarm privilege sickens me, you plonk down on a tower and get to control a large section of the map while earning decent wps for every volley of swarms you fire in the general direction of a vehicle, ADS may be a force modifier, but one AV guy on many maps is a whole game suppression tool against dropships.
*game has become very dominationcentric lately and the above problem is at its worst in those games.
