make the swarms missile to start tracking a target AS SOON as it is launched, rather then flying to the spot the ship was the second they were launched. seriously, that's all it takes to balance them. Just fix the swarms, and the drop ships will be brought back into line.

Maybe that could be enough, but we can only know if they alter the swarmer's tracking. The fact is sometimes i see a dropship right in front of me, fire the swarms and instead of them slamming straight on the dropship, they pass below it and then start chasing behind it and the dropships just gets away.

Then let's have them lock onto dropsuit signatures too.

Why?

Because they will run out of targets in no time. Free no skill weapons that can instakill a dropship by surprising it will quickly remove dropships from he game. Then it will need new targets.

Have the free ones do less dmg to make up for it

Dropship doesn't have flares so uhm yeah stop using millitia SL and get a forge gun problem solved

Too bad they one-two shot a 1kHP heavy.

Not really, if you keep the speed the way it is good pilots still have a chance, only difference is they have to do more than fly mindlessly in a circle.

Just restrict dropship turrets to blasters. They'll have to get closer to the ground and move slower to be effective anti-personnel vehicles which they aren't intended to be in the first place and swarms will start hitting them again.

The problem isn't swarms or dropships, it's the fact that their turrets are so heavily overpowered and able to fire quite accurately from a nearly invincible moving platform.

People need to realize what the REAL problems and issues are and get THOSE fixed rather than, "Oh, swarms are worthless" or "OH, DS's are too powerful". It's not the ship itself, it's the lvl 2+ accelerated missile turrets people have firing from them and 1-shot killing whole squads of infantry.

It is also the swarms and the dropship

Swarms cant catch dropships and even if they do they barely cause damage, dropships themselves are ment to be more of a transport role hence the MCRU but ppl are taking them off to have more tank so really the MCRU should be able to be removed

Standard level ships don't "come with" MCRU's, and you can't remove them from the advanced ships.

I do have a fitting with a MCRU, and it's more of a liability. Random gunners hit the ship and make it swarm bait, and six blue dots will spawn in and never leave.

Yes, ML's are the killer weapon no matter what they are mounted on. Why would a DS mount anything else? That tank that took me out last match did it with large missiles.

I think all dropships should come with an MCRU its what they are made for tbh

ML fire missiles which have an AOE, remove that to an extent and it aint a missile its more like a bullet maybe depending on how bad the nerf is, if anything give the dropships blasters and thats it and more tank but also swarms need to work prob is tho how will it effect the swarms going after tanks

Large missiles tho i expect to have a big AOE and more damage, that given i have shot down a couple of dropshops with LM but its damn hard

That's all it will take to kill them... you need something extra like making swarms a heavy weapon or the like to not kill off dropships entirely.
