The entitlement of some vehicle specialist just sickens me sometimes. Instead of looking at vehicles as one guy with the power of a squad, see it as a force multiplier. 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.

Individual skill shouldn't be a balancing factor in a game plus all the good ADS pilots along with most other vehicle specialist to. I'm not disagreeing that something ain't wrong here but your approach sure is.

There are a handful of people that can do exceptionally well in Pythons even at the highest level of play.

I actually really like that it's a small group of specialists who can operate these vehicles properly, and that they are difficult to use.

Just because a dropship is expensive doesn't mean it should be able to fly around the map without a care, disregarding AV.

Ha!

Tanking takes FAR more skill than any infantry role.

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.

To OP; you are probably a terrible pilot.. I can have three different fits on my python and survive roughly 3 AV. If you let a forge gunner hit you with just two shots, stop flying now. You need to be able to make them miss at least one and no that doesn't mean flying in a straight line back to the red line. Although I do agree the python needs a SLIGHT buff to resistance of swarms and nothing else. The main probably with python is swarms are hitting the dropship with the damage buff it should have against armour. Also the range on swarms are nearly difficult to run away from but manageable to do.. While I read countless posts about how pythons need a buff, I want you to sit back and think "is it the python or do I just blow nut sacks".... I'm going to guess the second choice.. If you have any experience in flying dropships you should already know how to move to dodge the swarms or make a forge gunner miss at least one shot. But there is no way in hell does the python need any sort of hp buff but a mere slight buff to the resistance to swarms.. Forge guns are currently balanced in my opinion and no complaints there.. My suggestion to you is stop sucking.

Well if you sit there with your thumb up your bum of course you aren't dodging any swarms. I learnt how to from Derrith. And an ads is not supposed to be a flying tank. It has and was always supposed to be a fragile vehicle with great power (which it is) so before you rant anymore and make yourself sound and look anymore stupid (downy) think about what you are about to say.

I assure you that at the end of the day, your concerns fall on deaf ears.

And before you get there, it'll fall on a hell of a lot more ignorant ones.
