Dropships could do with a chaff module pretty badly.

WHY why would you not JUST CHANGE the hav armor buff?. you cannot fly a dropship anymore.. it was easy to lose dropships with great skill on it and still dodging missles.. now 20% bounus to swarms.. are you mad? EXPENSIVE dropships are not even worth having anymore..
no.. ONLY NERF THE BUFFING ON TANKS.. did you even look at the fits of these people?

You can still fly your drop ship, its just like flying a more or less real transport chopper now, you either stay as high as you can go so enemy won't see you or you stay as close to the ground as you possibly can to use buildings and terrain as cover, I've been using the later tactic and my gunner got 12 kills and we only died because I put my drop ship right in-front of a squad of Swarm launchers.

Sure the swarm buff is really annoying, but please don't just stop flying you can still do it and survive in the process if you're careful, you won't make a KDR of a tank nor will your gunners, but it is still possible to be airborne.

When HAVs were OP the tank complainers just laid down and died instead of trying to making concerted efforts to kill off HAVs. Before that when forge guns could nearly one-shot a marauder the HAV drivers cried and hid behind buildings.

We pilots are cut from a different cloth. We've been nerfed, but we'll find a way to survive and thrive. Don't worry about us.

TL;DR learn to dodge missiles. If you don't know how ask the bunny.

Your gunners MUST get kills for you to get SP. No kills no SP. We don't even get points for using a mobile CRU or dropping off/picking up players.

The only real problem i have with dropships is how much they jerk around when hit. The forge gun range might be a little too long range and the swarms could have their damage reduced slightly.
Other than that ive been doing fine in a well fit myron. Last game my gunners went 24-0 and 17-0. We all got 170,000+ sp and about 300,000 isk

Add me, I want to see how you did that. I made it through 12 minutes of a match before the forge guns got me, and that's the best i've done. I'm gonna assume that game was an anomaly and nobody got AV out for you.

I agree the forge gun range is too long again, and I'm a forge gunner. The forge gun is supposed to be anti-tank and the swarms should be anti-air. I think thats the balance CCP needs to go for. Limit the forge gun range again, give dropships Chaff (which I hear they are going to do), and for the love of god give dropships sp/isk for spawns and pickups.

Before the buff I could actually make a little money flying, now I've gotta ground pound for 3-4 games to make enough to fly for half of a game. I realize this is only temporary until the next build, but aside from actually enjoying flying there's no point in being a dropship pilot.
