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.

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 to agree that vehicles should have a limited ammo supply

I will have bonuses to missiles tho soon and im skilled for them as it is and after i will skill up for armor tanks, or maybe i should be super cheap and use dropships

Its just cloud running his mouth when he a **** poor tank driver and cant beat me

Lets be honest you and sha should know you attacked me with an LAV filled with forge gunners and i survived

Forge gun - Hits a tank alot easier because tank is slower and bigger to hit, try hitting a dropship even if it is slow boating damn near impossible but also gunner prob take you out before you even hit it.

Sure i cant beat ya cause you sit the whole day in your redline. As soon you take the slightest damage you run back to your spawn. Dont deny it every 1 knows it. Oh and ive changed my tank fit and gone back to the roots in terms off effectivity. And you a good tank driver? That was a good joke cause a good tank driver actually supports the infantry and doesnt sit on the hill next to his spawn area to pad his K/D. And you are just mad cause the dropship got you in your own redline. How does it feel when you cant hide like a coward? And i get the feeling that missile launchers wont be fixed at all. CCP simply has to fix swarms to that what they where like in the E3 build. And by that i got my hands on a real gunship not the wannabe version of it. You can cry when i start shoting you with 4 small missile turrets from a gunship which are controlled by the pilot.

Edit: oh by the way the guy who finished you off was Taz-666 he went banzai with a swarm launcher into the redline. Militia swarms FTW.

Yes, also of course they will need a way to resupply it.

Dropship isnt OP. Swarm pathing is UP.
