You people have no idea what you are talking about, there is hardly any dropship flying around at all these day. I know, i'm one of them!
They are fragile and cost so much, yet earn you nothing in terms of SP that people are not flying them anymore.
The current tweak to swarm is devastating already!
Maps have very little cover for dropship pilots, when hit my swarm missiles, they get a knock back and a temporary loss of control, Then since Forge guns now have extended range, getting hit by a swarm, you are then taken out by a blue plasma bolt of death.
Swarm certainly needs a tweak, but it's not a speed bump, if you up the speed, the only thing you will be using the swarm to fire on, will be tanks....... |

1. missile should fly faster than their target
2. missile flight paths need to be rethink
3 missile need to do less damage
4. dropship need a new flight mechanic more suited to a transport
5. dropships need more EHP because they are a transport
There are some good points, but i still disagree with missile speed and some what with flight mechanics.
The fact that swarm can "lock on" is good enough, i have no opinion on damage of swarm however, the knock back is bad enough, and while being hit by a militant swarm, while riding a militant dropship, i might argue that it's a fair trade off, even if it pains me to say it and the lose of those lovely isks....
As for flight mechanic, yes, it's hard. But when you master it, it's rewarding. However the only problem is, well. The landing.
You cannot do a fast hot zone landing. it's impossible if swarm missiles and tanks are about.
Hell even if there is a LAV around you gotta watch out if you are trying to land safely, one bump by a LAV and you are flipped over if you aren't quick enough!
So yeah, tweaking in the landing and the way collision works while in landing mode, really needs to be worked on. |
