The best way to take down a dropship, is for the pilot to be occupied and slow, and then have at least two swarm launchers alternating shots, that way he'll be off balance when the DS starts doing backflips into the ground :) |

I agree, the swarm tracking is not fast enough to hit dropships, while even the most nimble ground vehicle can't do anything to avoid them. |

Okay, here we go again.
Instead of whining about how Swarm Launchers need a buff (AMAGAD DROPSHIPS SO OP), think about multiple things
1) Are you using a militia swarm launcher? If so, why do you believe you should be able to use this free item to take out a ship which, if well equipped, usually costs 300-1mil easily.
2) If Swarms are buffed, what should Dropships do? If your answer is "Well, I don't care just speed up mah swarms nao!" Then quit your bitching and come back when you've an idea to balance it
3) If the above was not the answer and it was "Well we need a countermeasure" Then suggest a new countermeasure or wait for flares
4) Have you ever flown a Dropship? If not, a bit of info. A Dropship is not incredibly easy to fly, you don't hover then just push X to go, we have to maneuver as best we can and as it is currently, one does not simply out maneuver a swarm, no matter how good you are.
5) Have you tried using a Forge Gun? If you can aim you can hit ships with relative ease (the bastards are massive) and the cheapest forge gun (8,800 ISK) Will take three hits to instantly kill off a good ship.
Just a few things to think about. |

yeah they are pointless to use atm and way underpowered along with the fact they don't work as intended as they should they need a buff and needs to be fixed to were they actually work properly to be able to actually drop/takedown a drop ship . DS are OP to begin with . and i even use the AUR swarmers and those are still pointless even with 5-6 missles per shot shooting at once im extremely lucky if just one of the missles hit the the fracking thing . |
