am i the only one that knows how to ruin a tanks day with a dropship? i mean hello people just because a tank CAN kill a drop ship fast as hell doesnt mean im gonna give it the chance
for one everyone almost always forgets to consider that the tank and me arent the only things on the battle field, he has other **** to deal with too, theres the main advantage i have.... he doesnt just have me in his mind...
second (and this is the big one) my gunners can aim down, but he cant aim up, so as long as my gunners are smart enough to figure out the rythm with rocket turrets so they can actually spam rockets at the dam tank
third even if he it too tough for me to effectively kill (wich is rare as hell) i will still completely remove him as a threat from the battle field
everyone seems to think that tanks beat everything... but they only kill drop ships that arent paying attention, are being morons trying to sit somewhere and span their guns, or are just being brought in to the battle (wich is the majority of the reason a tank ever kills one) |

Goddamnit, dropships are annoying as hell. Especially ones with XT turrets which hurt pretty bad. Congrats on being one of the smarter people and considering the power of dropships instead of whining about tanks. My Prometheus works well as an anti tank, but it all depends on the gunners. |

That is the best defence for tanks. Kill RDV's as fas as you see them. With a little luck, the dying RDV will kill the people waiting for their vehicle.
The primary problem with Dropships is going to be fixed. They are no longer able to hide in the sky or on the towers, just outside the draw range, while they can still see the enemies on the ground, because of their friendlies seeing them. This means that a dropship hunting a tank, will be hunted by AV in return. |

Swarm / Forge > Dropship The point in a drop ship is transport. You want a gunship (SOONtm) |

yah, hovering above a tank while your gunners take shots at it will make you a nice easy target for a proto forge gunner or proto swarm spammer.
Have fun with that. |

I love killing the RDVs funny as it flips over onto its back and crashes
But ye the draw fix will help alot in general so tanks and dropships wont disappear |
