having to sit and wait for the perfect time for everyone to release the missiles is key to destroying the tards in the sky. that said, if you aren't in a corp battle, it's not going to happen because randoms refuse to co-operate.
even if you manage to get them released at a good time, chances of them hitting are still slim if the pilot manages to speed back up into the red zone because missiles are slow.
well if i can scare them back to there red line thats time my boys have to not be blown up. |

Trust me- I've fired at plenty with standard railguns- does about as much damage as a militia swarm (without the debilitating explosion to tip the dropship).
They also take some practice to land a hit with, and have short range. At least they'll hit way more often than swarms (with practice)
hybrid turrets are a x1 skill so it not asking to much if you speccing into vehicles. |

it's a dropship, they will just turn around and fly right back over a point to finish the job. piloting has some skill but the weapons on the vehicle require none. just point the crosshairs at the red arrows and let fly. i killed a forge gunner twice and the other one killed that same one 3 more times before each time he only hit the vehicle twice or three times.
armor tanking dropship is a mean vehicle, 4000 armor isn't alot but you have to make consecutive hits quickly or it will be gone to the other side of the map.
red lining both sides of the map is a requirement if you want to keep speed so that swarms have absolutly no chance of hitting ever. |

the thing is, when the time comes where our battles have an impact on the game I don't want to rely on the other team being stupid to win.

I usually try to find a secluded spot to start firing at the drop ship. or drop it off near a base so if the drop ships starts firing at me, i can just run under one of those large wear houses, or behind a building.
yea, i'll probably die using it, that's a given. Small rail guns are far too weak to use. |

It really depends on the map & the skill of the dropship pilot. I'm skilling toward forge guns, but even swarm launchers can deter a dropship incursion when you have 2-3 dedicated anti-dropship swarms raining toward the thing from under cover. |

But see,that's the rub.CCP ruined the missiles in this build.I use to be able to hit almost everything while on the go,now it's so hard to correct your shot that it's close to pointless to fire while moving.

I wouldn't say they ruined them; there are plenty of people who think otherwise. All I'm saying is if your chasing a LAV or a Drop ship in a turret you're not going to land any direct hits unless you're right on them.

lol your kidding, I can fly beside a lav no matter what it does, could work with a tank lav but you dont see many of those really.
and I can understand being shot down by a rail installation but a rail turret is poo in comparison |

And ya, small rails are weak, i know this. but the list of things that can reliably hit a DS has gotten rather small lately. |

Bah I stand by the LAV/Rail setup as a passible to good way of fighting off dropships. even if you aren't wrecking them straight up you're still forcing them away from you.
And I'm fairly sure that hitting a dropship kills some of the momentum even if its not as much as a forge. That can let swarms catch up. |
