Heh, I like that. But yeah, you need to work on your flying technique, Jason. We have a thread for it even. I just did my first match in a long time with my normal gunner, and we spent the whole time dodging swarms and forge shots while pulling off a decent (albeit not great) number of kills. |

As a rule I don't let anyone into my dropship who thinks "u" is a word, but to cover your actual points:
Dropships are primarily for rapid insertion, not rapid extraction. Even before the vehicle/AV rebalance landing near any reasonably large group of hostile troops was suicide. You transport by bringing troops over the target, letting them jump out from high enough to use their inertial damps, and then you leave only to return when they've cleared the area and are ready to be taken to their next destination.
Yes, swarms are powerful against dropships. They are the counter to aircraft, we would expect them to be powerful against dropships. This isn't a bug, it's exactly the way the game should work. Being a pilot isn't supposed to be risk-free.
Missiles absolutely DO burn out, and you can make them hit a building if you duck around one before they're right on your ass.
So yeah, go on. Because as it is I most certainly do "question [your] flying capabilities". I fly too, and I don' t have these problems nearly as bad as you. |

I had two Myron fits. One had an mCRU for when I felt like picking up randoms and the other was just fit for tank and speed. The tanky one, not having to spend 160 PG on the spawn point, used mostly azeotropic extenders. It can still take three swarms and be fine.
As I've mentioned before, the resist nerf and AV buff didn't change a vehicle's survivability in terms of "shots required to kill" too drastically. All it did was make people actually willing to use their free swarm launchers. I said it before, I'll repeat it now: HAVs only seemed OP because no one was willing to fight them. |
