Haha you got owned on the 5 point map from my squad and then ragequitted the match. Thats what you deserve for sitting the whole day in your redline.

ragequitted

I see missiles on your tank Snake. You are both abusing the same thing :P
It's just silly missile damage. Once they get sorted, Dropships won't be gunships. LoL blaster Dropships.

here's my solution:
1. make "small missile turrets" skill require level 3 "turrets" skill
2. keep missile splash range and direct damage on all missile turrets but reduce missile splash damage by 20%
3. give the small blaster turrets a 30% range buff
4. give the small rail gun a 15% shorter charge up time and a 30% heat buildup decrease and a 30% longer cooldown time

this makes missiles harder to get and nerfs the splash damage a bit requiring more skilled gunners to land direct hits and also brings the other turret options more in line and makes them more effective

Dropships might be harder to shoot down then a tank, but they unlike a tank they can crash and burn. also a dropship pilots don't get nearly as much SP or ISK then someone in a tank. I don't think dropships are OP, if anything they're so difficult and the pay out is so low that they are almost useless.
also the guns on a dropship suck. even the more advanced ones won't get even close to a large missiles that tanks have.
tanks are still the best vehicle in the game. they shouldn't be invincible.

Dropship isnt OP. Swarm pathing is UP.

The dropshipGÇÖs function is to support ground units by laying down fire from its two small turret hardpoints, and dropping off infantry reinforcements. It is one of the most maneuverable vehicles capable of hover flight. This allows it to quickly insert fresh infantry into a combat area with great efficiency, as well as afford it the maneuverability to effectively fall back and lay direct fire from an aerial support position.

Dropships are beyond OP when combined with the swarms being broken and small missile turrets being godly.

If you can't see that then god help you. It's blatantly obvious.

Yes! Yes! He gets it. JFC how can dripshits be OP when the pilot can do jack except for flying around in circles.

+1 for you sir!

Let's take a look at the obvious. Tanks are slower than dropships so it will be easier to hit than a dropship. But most importantly, the tank is on the ground! We can spam it with AV nades and swarms, etc because it can't just fly away from you. So, it's expected to be taken out easier than a dropship (at this time)

Ok, so back to the issue...I think we've had many threads on the dropship "OP-ness". But I guess the more threads, the more attention it should attract....so here's my take. If they aren't going to give more or better tools to take out a dropship (maybe because they have plans and other vehicles in store), then either remove all guns or allow machine-gun type of weapons on the drpships only. No rocket launchers or blasters with unlimited ammo and no cooldown should be on it. It literally turns the dropship into a never-ending precision strike.

If they're going to allow a gun, then let it only be a machine-gun sort of weapon.

No, you're seeing them being used by the extremely skilled. Skilled players will always have matches with 20-0+. Playing hte last few days I've seen plenty of dropships go down, even took one out with a missile tank.

Autocannons I love it!

I have to agree that vehicles should have a limited ammo supply

No.

Youre not considering that the turrets on all of the vehicles do not land where you aim, when the vehicle is in motion. Sometimes the shot goes far right or left. The reason why the missile is used on the dropship is because it is impossible to hit anything with the railgun or blaster while the DS is doing anything other than being parked on the ground. Many gunners rely on the splash for killed, while the truly skilled gunners have figured out how to aim with the motion of the dropship to make every hit land where it was intended.
