If you were in the ship when the last shot was placed you should either go down with the ship or it should explode in the sky. Its a bit crap when u've landed your 3rd forge gun hit on a dropship and only get 60 points for the ship destruction as the 7 people inside all bailed out AFTER the dropship was 'dead'. A better idea would be if they have a chance of exploding in midair and if they do you die inside, if not, you can bail out. Oh wait, thats how it works now. /thread
Except that's not how it works. If it's not on absolute ground (as in, in the sky or resting on a pipe, building, or tower), it either has to fall to the ground or is purely on a timer until death. Everyone inside can escape before that timer runs out, and no amount of damage will cause it to explode beforehand. |

Its random, sometimes you explode and die in midair when the vehicle gets to 0 health. I fly dropships, I have died in single shots from forge guns while high above the ground and wondered what happened. I didn't fall to the ground first, I just died. I don't think it happens very often, but it happens.
I have never seen this happen, and I've shot hundreds of dropships out of the sky and on structures. If it's not touching the real, sandy ground at the time, it has never blown up immediately. |

I'm pretty sure that has to do with well-placed shots. I've shot a number of gunners out of dropships without hitting the dropship in the process. They don't die as a result of the dropship dying, though. |
