This means you are not good, not dropships are impossible to hit; we have no trouble removing them. If you can't destroy dropships than that is your problem. Perhaps everything shouldn't be possible for free. 100% bullshit Noc, but you were full of **** about tanks, too. You just want to protect whatever you're abusing today. zzzzz I have extensively tested the Forge Gun vs. Dropships. It isn't consistent nor practical as a solution.
Leither Yiltron KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 417	Posted - 2012.10.20 18:19:00 - [4] - Quote The great Noc Tempre surely wouldn't lie about things like that to protect the only thing he has skilled for in the upcoming tournament. Get better at metagame. Zzzzz. If anyone wants a real estimation of how easy it is to shoot a dropship with a Forge (it's nearly impossible) go test it yourself.

Ignore the bugs for a moment here) I actually agree with your entire post, Nova, but I can't just ignore the bugs. Not when there's literally a tournament barely seven days hence.
Leither Yiltron KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 417	Posted - 2012.10.20 22:15:00 - [6] - Quote Says a guy in the corporation devoted to using Dropships constantly. Again, zzzz.
Leither Yiltron KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 417	Posted - 2012.10.21 00:16:00 - [7] - Quote Yeah, that's the core of the problem. I've said as much in the feedback forums.
Leither Yiltron KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 417	Posted - 2012.10.21 18:36:00 - [8] - Quote I agree Jason. The problem is that CCP has little time before their tournament is ruined to implement these balance changes. The best thing they can do right now is reinstate the old Swarm Launcher tracking speed and then do an actual core fix later.
Leither Yiltron KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 417	Posted - 2012.10.23 04:28:00 - [9] - Quote They can be very effective in that they have the remote possibility of hitting. lol

A thread about dropship balance from me would go on longer than any sane man could ever want.

Sorry Leither, You are dead wrong on this..Or are at least doing it wrong. Just like Forge Sniping infantry (I do it quite often), you need to learn to lead your targets. I take down Dropships with no Problem. Now I agree they DO need to up the Swarm Launcher speed a fraction (or maybe just on the higher level swarms), but this dribble about the Forge Guns not being effective against Drop Ships is just sad It decidedly depends on the pilot. You can kill most of the guys hanging around in the public lobbies with a Forge because they don't have quite the experience other pilots do. Kudos to those who HAVE figured out how to fly evasion maneuvers, but there's no way that those entitle you to being nigh-on invincible. xD
Leither Yiltron KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 417	Posted - 2012.10.23 19:33:00 - [12] - Quote Go try it yourself and see how it fares. I don't know anyone "good" enough to consistently take down well-piloted dropships.
Leither Yiltron KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 417	Posted - 2012.10.26 21:17:00 - [13] - Quote This is still broken as **** you know. Now our missiles hit once every 3 minutes instead of never. Zzzzz. I can't wait to see Dropship 514 starting tomorrow!
Leither Yiltron KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 417	Posted - 2012.10.27 04:49:00 - [14] - Quote I have a proto forge and practice every day with it. Doubtless Tritan loves their dropships as well. It's fantastic that such a swathe of people can be in denial about something verified by extensive testing.
