mario stomping drop ships used to be a lot easier in the last build, no collision damage, its a work in progress, patience. ive bashed into a light pole and sent my 100k drop ship careening into the hills no more than 10 feet off the ground within seconds of take off, collision damage is merciless if your not careful. for someone to bop around 5 or 6 people is actually some what impressive, especially if they were using militia drop ships which can be taken out by 2 or 3 militia geared assaults....
ive actually grown fond of the logi suit as an anti vehicle role, 2x equipment slots, just run with the pack and merc drop ships and tanks like its the cool thing to do.
tanks are the new heavy suits, and swarms are still super popular, but they arent unbeatable, just wait for the chance to pre-form teams to enter lobbies where people start getting coordinated |

there are a number of things CCP could do, vehicle altitude ceiling, NOT providing convenient flat surfaces for them to land on, increase visibility for high altitude vehicles and suits.
you dont need a drop ship to take out another drop ship, get a forge gun, get a swarm launcher, get a sniper rifle, get a mass driver, and LOOK UP. ive seen all of these options work, and ive been on both sides of the table more than a couple of times.
swarm launcher is difficult due to the locking ranges but is free and relatively conveniently accessed. just avoid detection while approaching so they dont have a heads up your there to start firing. or use another militia drop ship to drop up on a platform BEHIND field of fire and send them a couple swarm vollies
forge gun and heavy missile turrets(tanks/instalations) have amazing effect outside of visual range, just gotta have a rough idea where they are, which is 1 of 5 towers, along the edge, start working your way from there
sniper rifles take out static drop ship gunners in moments, often before they get the chance to properly respond. |

Or, have guns do different amounts of damage do different things, like in Battlefield 3. It may be less convenient, but then they could tweak effectiveness against certain targets. Make swarms do more against aircraft, same against tanks, and have less splash damage/weaker against infantry.
heavy machine guns, swarm launchers and forge guns have been nerfed with this latest build, i might go as far to guess you werent in the last build if you think they need nerfed further, heavy suits were EXTREMELY difficult to take out 1v1 in an assault suit so people resorted to toting swarm launchers everywhere as a priamry weapon for anti infantry... advanced assault suits getting 1 shot at every turn... i made a point not to play the last weekend of the previous build because of swarms...
*edit*
though i do like the idea of a specific AA swarm launcher variation, reduced damage for increased speed and better pathing so that drop ships have a harder time ducking behind structures |

rifles do damage to real life aircraft, it makes sense they do damage to dust aircraft and vehicles, although its not much by comparison to total health, its not optimal or quick, but its doable. |

just had that experience last match, 'oh kitten...' went through my head at about the same time the dropship did, then it exploded and i was happy |
