DUST Search - Dropships more OP than Tanks

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.

Autocannons I love it!

If you can't see that then god help you. It's blatantly obvious. 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. 20-0? If they were all going only 20-0 nobody would give a damn lol... plenty of ground units ( infantry) go 20-0... I see dropship gunners going 50+ - 0, that's a problem... 80 clone reserves and one guy has gone 71-0 already once with his dropship... that's a problem

I have been saying this for a long time, before dropships even became this talked about. someone linked a quote of the dropship in here also with it saying it can lay firepower for cover to people.. that doesnt mean endless missile spam, its ********. Look at the dropship like it is a CH-57 or something.. big cargo area for troop transport , a 50 cal on the side, and a 50 cal at the rear unloading bay.. not the fire power capabilities of a 2 man only cobra attack chopper ( that still doesn't fire endless missiles )
