I was on a turret in a dropship, and a guy with a forge gun sniped me out of it twice in the same match. Since he hit me instead of the dropship, the ship only took minimal damage, but I have to say seeing a sudden blue ball of death heading straight for my face was a very freaky experience. Whoever that was, they were either a really good shot or were just unlucky enough to hit me instead of the ship and take us all out. I was rolling with XDEATHMOBX at the time, and that guy is one hell of a dropship pilot. Anyone wanna claim that kill? |

I call that lucky... Most I ever blasted out of a dropship was 1 person a match. LAVs I managed to get the gunner off with the forge gun only once. |

I've shot several gunners out of dropships, but it's not intentional. I want to hit the dropship, not have someone soak up the damage that would have blown up the whole vehicle. |

Yep, sniping ground troops is hard enough with a forge gun, to pinpoint an aerial target would be nearly impossible. |

I've heard it is the splash damage on the gun that kills gunners, cannot confirm. |

Its a lucky hit! As a dedicated forge gunner I can tell you I cannot see the gunners in a dropshit! When I am aiming I am aiming for the dropshit and not the gunner! However, if you get hit by me as infantry, that is intentional! ![Twisted](https://forums.dust514.com/Images/Emoticons/ccp_twisted.png) |

As a fellow Forgemaster I must agree with my man here. Even though I would call it unlucky as it causes less damage on the dropship... Or it depends on how you look at things. Anyways it would be impossible to reliably hit the gunner from a dropship on purpose. I've hit the gunner of a LAV once and that was unintentional. However as the guy said sniping infantry is very viable with a forge especially with the blast hit when you have the higher ground or if there's an enemy sniper up in the hills in. A bad position. |

I think that it's true because ive tried sniping gunners off of dropships with a legit sniper and it never worked. |

I've shot several gunners out from drop ships with a sniper so you can definitely hit them. |

If it was up by B on the 3 objective map last night then I believe that was me. I know we were facing you gents in that match. We lost all the objective fairly early (we only held C at the beginning). We then took and Held B for the rest of the match. I kept getting the health of the Dropship down to armor and the pilot would drop down behind the ridge line and circle to the ground spawn in the backfield before coming back for more. It was Luck more than anything as I go for center mass and the DS started to shift to broadside. The Dropship is the only target though (like has been said previously), anything else is a bonus.
Is that enough of a claim?![Big smile](https://forums.dust514.com/Images/Emoticons/ccp_smile-big.png) |

The was just lucky. I got a few kills this way and it turns me angry like nothing else when the dropship has just low HP left and i hit the gunner instead of the ship. You can also open the doors so less bullets hit the dropship but it happens more often that passengers get shoot out. |

I got sniped out rolling with XDEATHMOBX once on a 3 point map (spiky rock world), but this was actually on the 5 point map with C in the middle and D at the south end (looks kinda like a huge loading bay of some sort). |

Related story: I once scored a direct hit kill on the driver of an LAV using the rocket launcher on the back of our LAV while both friendly and hostile LAs were moving at full speed in different directions. It was fun to watch his LAV slow to a halt as we continued on since his LAV took 0 damage. |

Well that explains why I've had times where I've forged a drop-ship, got the +50 points for the kill, and saw the drop ship fly off as a confused me started charging my next shot. LOL |

Each Forge gunner know that dropship have one big hole at the middled(projectiles can go through it), so why would he want to focus on killing 1 poor guy when he can kill whole crew of dropship. Do not confuse fail, with luck ![What?](https://forums.dust514.com/Images/Emoticons/ccp_question.png) |

You probably got blasted by a Breach Forge Gun. I killed someone from the dropship. I don't know if he was exiting or killed him from the turret. |
