So I must say the drop ships are awesome, but one thing I'd like to see is the ability to shoot from seats that DO NOT have a turret. Player should be able to shoot using his/ her own weapon from one of these seats. |

Don't the doors close during flight at moderate altitudes? |

More like armor plates come down, but you can still see out.
I think if we can shoot from the Dropship, then people should be able to shoot the passengers without the armor of the Dropship being taken into account.
Perhaps a button to allow the pilot to open or close the doors and let people shoot or protect them. |

Maybe.. I do see dropships tending to fill up and eventually end up with people just bailing out and taking falling damage. |

It's a dropship, not a gunship. Dropships are more for ferrying passengers than raining death from the skies.
It already has a set upgradable turrets, and I don't know if I care for the idea of a dropship flying around with rocket turrets and swarmers flying out of it every which way. That just gives me horrible flashbacks of the already god-like upgraded tanks running around (which is a whole other issue altogether). |

I would love to have this in passenger seats of all vehicles but I'd worry that we'd have dropship packed with swarmers, blowing up tanks everywhere.
Maybe it could be restrained to small arms, like I've seen in other games. |

You can actually do that now, done it a few times with a well placed sniper round |

Also It's 'turret'. A torrent is a fast stream of liquid.
I agree about everyones comments with swarm launchers and such, but that makes it all the more fun. As far as the upgraded tanks, Those are actually easy to destroy, upgraded tanks usually take 3 remotes explosives to destroy, standard ones take two.

As a frequent drops hip pilot, I would like to say I wish some of you would actually leave the bird in order to take objectives before someone lights me up. I dont mind having at least one gunner always in, but having five guys vying for gun position right on top of a objective that needs taking is really annoying, and if I had a button that would push you guys out sometimes, I would definitely use it. I'm not saying you guys specifically, but you now the types. There's been several times where I as the pilot end up trying for the objective. And I'd the bird isnt piloted it isnt a mobile spwn point, and you would think that is its best function since so many ppl whine about spawn campers. |

Ps I want the team spawned sp bonus for pilots providing that service. The driver assist sp bonus for killing only gets awarded when I'm hovering very still, not when I'm circling at a very control speed for my gunner to maintain easy tracking. RiIght now most if not all my sp award is being determined by how many enemies I wrecklessy ram and or land on. And yes for those who haven't tried it, doing it wrong can hurt a whole lot! |

You guys do know that you can actually jump down and do some DBZ stuff down on the ground? No fall damage and free spawn point. |

+1 Agree. I'd also like to be able to shoot my hand weapon from a non-turret position. |

Just spent couple rounds playing a drop ship, noticed that too, I'd hover over an objective with full load and no one would jump  |

There should be some kind of penalty for repeated Dropship hoarding.....you know the ones. It's the same guys who play recon on BF3, take the huey, and bail on the Smokestack/Radio Tower/Tall Building clowns. There are rarely squad drops, just personal sniper transports. ;) |

Exactly, just restrain it to Light Weapons. |

Yeah i noticed this too. I AGREE there should be shooting from non-turret locations on dropships. |

I'm actually surprised passengers not on turrets can't fire their regular weapons. I thought you would be able to do so based on the E3 2011 trailer, and I want this feature.

Yes please. Also allow shooting out of the LAV passenger seat. When im piloting I need more SP than just gunner assists. |

I like the idea one of the early posters had about the pilot being able to open the doors ( or armor plates or whatever). One idea would be that they could open those doors to allow all to fire, but in turn that would drop there shields. More firepower, yet much more vulnerable, risk/reward idea. |

I really like this idea. When the doors are open, the shields are down. It would add some more risk to dropping off teammates directly at objectives, as at lower altitudes the doors open (if it all goes manual control, perhaps they have to be open for people to enter?). |

like that, like the scrambler or something cause wouldnt u have to hold on to something unless you wanna fall down, i mean the gunners are holding on to the turret. |

It could work. Just make it to where people cant use heavy weapons. If you disagree refer to this |
