I've been promoting a gun turret for every vehicle for months now, but instead of seeing the logic in it, they consider decoupling the driver from ALL guns. >.>
1: A gun for every vehicle class lets pilots join public games without any other corp mates and level up reliably, and still have skills relevant to team oriented vehicles.
2: Vehicles make great vehicle killers. A-10 tank killers, Apache tank killers, Anti-Aircraft gun tanks. The military knows how to balance vehicular combat. I don't understand why they think Dust is special. Instead, they buff infantry.
3: Air and Space superiority are essential for a ground war to be successful. They get the space part.. but apparently aircraft are merely meant to taxi those special fps kings around, and to provide weapons and a safe ship for those with no skills to shoot with.
Now, watch them make a special gunner class that you're supposed to tote around like a prize pig. This isn't Space Arma III.

I would much rather wait until real gunships, as those will likely be what you and I are looking for. I'm not only looking for a temporary replacement, but a permanant mid way in which we get some aspects of both Sure, except that with gunners the dropship as it is now fulfills the gunship role relatively well. If anything, the dropship guns should take a 0.7 multiplier with a boost to health to encourage transport rather than gunning. Once the dropship is properly oriented to its role, then maybe I could see a fast maneuverable lightly armed air vehicle halfway between transport and attack roles.
Google "Blackhawk" and "Apache" and report back with the difference. An Apache is a Gunship. The Blackhawk is a Dropship.
Who dictated that aircraft are meant only for hauling infantry? This is nonsensical fiction. Where in military history is this like this? The first military aircraft were combat vehicles, not troop carriers. |
