For real? I haven't played all shooters but this is the only shooter that I've played that will allow tryhards to stat pad in TDM with dropships that you can't even defend against because the swarm launchers are gay.

this is why you carry a Forge gun, problem solved and alot of isk lost for the pilot.

At this point, forge guns are the only way to kill a dropship. It's just that I, personally, have to put points in corporation management and infantry and grenades (for ground vehicles) at 4x skill level and to now spec into a forge gun is going to sidetrack me. As you know, sp's are in short supply this build.

I'm just venting because TDM should really be infantry only. Or, if they're going to allow vehicles, then ground vehicles only and not aerial vehicles. I mean, even if they make the swarm launcher more effective, dropships and aerial vehicles in a TDM mode is just silly.

Personally, id rather skill up for Forge then grenades being that grenades are not reliable for getting the job done and forge works on all 3 vehicles AND infantry :D

Put my dropsuit on the ground and I don't have enough SP in my gear to kill a stationary scout suit in a reasonable amount of time. I fly in Ambush matches because they usually have less latency. This isn't some stat-padding try hardedness, if it was I'd go a route that actually allows you to earn WP and kills, it's just me playing the way I most enjoy. Eventually they'll fix dropships, hopefully not the way they fixed HAVs, and all will be well again. It's a general vent post. My stat-pad post was directed at those that ARE really just trying to climb the leaderboards and convince everyone that they are better shooters than they are. They'll start out on the ground and once they realize they're not going to get that 5 or 6 KDR because of their opponent, they then jump in the air. I'm not saying that dropships shouldn't be allowed in the game, I'm just saying that it's not a good fit for a team deathmatch mode. And really....you can't take them out unless you specced out in forge guns. If you're on that 3-letter map..you are not safe from dropships. They wipe out all 16 players on the field. Not to mention, there is no cooldown for those weapons. You can just fire away with no cooldown and no worry about defense.

It's just that, I'm mostly AR....and I run into lavs trying to run me over more than anything. So, while I'm using my AR, I don't have to run and find a supply depot to change to a forge gun dropsuit or get ran over first. I can just chuck my AVs at the lav and be on my merry way.
