Dropships are anything but broken. I speak as a dedicated Sentinel when I say Dropships are not OP. A Dropship can't engage at maximum range, or even half their maximum range; aiming is too difficult at that range and infantry doesn't render (vehicles and installations do) they need to come down to you to fight. If they have to come down to you, that puts them in your range.

AV Grenades are limited by how far you can throw them, same as Locus and Flux Grenades. There's a Sleek variant that can be thrown further but deals less damage. Again, AV Grenades are meant for ground based vehicles. If you want to hit them at range, you need to grab a bigger gun instead throwing grenades.

also keep in mind it is two ppl working together in the gorgon.

teamwork is rather op.

I rate the OP 4/10.

Would have been a 1 if you all hadn't bit into it.

What's to contribute?

I'm sorry but complaining that AV nades don't work on dropships is a nonstarter. You can toss av nades about 30m tops unless you throw it off a tower.

Plasma cannon are short ranged weapons with about 125 meter max arc range, again, unless fired from a tower.

Forge guns can hit any dropship outside of the dropship's absolute firing range with their own weapons.

Swarms will chase a dropship for 350m past max lock range.

Infantry don't remder for pilots unless the dropship is inside the range of almost every dedicated AV weapon in the game.

Finally, the only complaint of merit is the dropship not taking damage from what appeared to be a direct hit. This is clearly a bug, and if the effect can be reproduced repeatedly (more than once) than a support ticket with detailed information about the circumstances of the bug should be sent for review and checking for potential exploit.

But the most important thing is, to do anything but circle around with their thumbs up their asses, dropships must enter Anti-Vehicle engagement range and risk getting blasted to kindling.

The blanket statements without supporting evidence in a rant format reek of bait post.

So at what point am I supposed to assume otherwise?

Looks at OP's tags...

...understands OP's sense of entitlement to easy kills.

*sigh*

If you are solo.

And want to kill anything other than an LAV.



PACK A LUNCH!

You will need a forge/AV nade/somebody to refill you and watch your butt as you stare places infantry is not.

Or a mando with swarms/PLC/proxies/remotes and some myo. Again, a friend to cover you.

Or any medium/light with swarm/PLC - AV nades - remotes/proxies. And again...

Also a bpo LAV for bait works wonders. (Or onikuma)((and can also be called in when ads is above you for supreme lolz))

You will then need to know what fit to attack what with..

And may still need another AV depending on what you want to pop.


Should I attempt to solo a vehicle, I don't mess around and go straight to Aldins' or beacons. "Only way to be sure.."


@107m sp, you need officer or simply another tank to even make me care. ~Deal with it~


PS. My AV nades work amazingly fine against DS. Stop trolling and rebuild database/re-install dust.
