People complain a lot about Vehicles being OP and have them nerfed. The problem is people use **** gear to fight against us when we have invested 500K ISK+ into a vehicle, which is why it's strong.
A bit of advice, Militia gear is beyond useless as it's so weak and unable to fit anything useful. Right now I'm using a Myron (Caldari.) As it's more effective than any other ship. It's stronger than the Viper and Eryx (Kind of sad about the Eryx) and it's good for shield tanking. Armor is useless on Vehicles as its weak against AV where as Shields have a bonus against them and don't start burning up when you're at half shield.
Also, Shield Resistance amps are your friends, same with Hardeners (When I'm about to get hit by a barrage of swarms I activate my Shield Hardener giving me about 60% resistance from everything for 10 seconds, giving me enough time to get away)
Another thing, when a Forge Gun comes out onto the field (be it a cheap 8,800 standard forge gun or the 100K proto one) be smart and leave the field, go over a mountain and stay there. That forge gun will destroy you instantly. I run a 500k isk ship now (I've been slowly working up the ladder and improving it) And these guns will kill me in 3 hits now (Improvement from 2!), but Forge Gunners will tell you this is not OP and only fair that a Forge Gun should be able to 3hit Dropship and bring it down within seconds.
Guns, when it comes to guns, use accelerated missiles for the Dropship, My gunners were getting annoyed at the Militia Missiles so I figured it was time to upgrade. We switched to these and my gunners went from a couple kills for the entire match to leading the scoreboards with both of them having between 10-25 kills each. On the same topic, get gunners with mics, a Pilot and two gunners that are constantly communicating will be very efficient compared to three random people not communicating. As you play together, you learn each others abilities. My gunners are great at different things, one is great at shooting at speed, the other is great at long distance shooting. It's all about working together |
