Now this has to do with the dropships, but its not the dropships themselves that are OP, its the turrets. A dropship is supposed to be just that, it flies in, drops troops of, then flies out. A dropship shouldnt be able to act as a gunship because of those turrets. I just got out of a match i which my fully speced tank got absolutely destroyed by a single dropships rockets, chewing through over 4000 shield and 2000 Armour before I could do anything whatsoever.
In my honest opinion the easiest way to fix this is to either remove the turrets, limit their range, or restrict a dropship to having blasters rather than rockets. The only reason people complain on the forums about dropships is because of the rockets that they all seem to use. Sure you can say "Just put points into AV spec" to that I say, why waste the money, the moment you pull out a forge gun or swarm launcher, namely the expensive ones you all talk about being able to destroy a dropship, you are target number one and die before you can get a fix on the thing, purely because those turrets will find you and rip you up before you find the ship. |

Honestly, I wish they would make a difference in speed of a militia swarm launcher vs a regular swarm launcher.
The more points put into swarms, the faster they would go, and the easier it would be to take out dropships.
The problem right now is that even if you put skill points into AV, and no matter how powerful your swarms or forge gun is, as long as the dropship is high enough and moving around enough it is almost impossible to hit.
My opinion is that dropships can have guns, but they should only be accurate if the pilot decides to slow down and get close enough for those guns to be accurate, which also puts them at risk of being shot down. |

Not necessary. For the 1000th time, they need to fix swarm pathing. |

again I do agree with the swarm pathing, but the fact is that a dropship should be used as its namesake, it should be a dropship, not a gunship. If they simply limited it to using blaster turrets only and shortened the range of them on the dropship it would work more like how it was intended to be used, which is to get troops into and out of combat, rather than the way it is used now as an anti everything weapon that is damned near imortal.
Oh and i find the best way to deal with a dropship if you are lucky is to have a guy with a Forge and a couple with swarms, if the forge hits it it stops and gets the knock back, then the swarms drill it into the ground/walls etc. |

Sounds a bit like "it killed me, nerf it". If dropships are so good why not fly one? |

again im not saying that just because it killed me it should be nerfed, the ships as they are is just fine, sure its a pain to take them out, but that can be done with a dec ent team, the problem is that the ships arent being used as dropships like they were planned. the problem I am stating is that the rocket turrets are OP. When a single dropship and 2 people on the ground can beat a team of 16 people simply because of the rockets it makes me think that something might just be a little un balanced.
If this still sounds like an 'it killed me, nerf it' post, then how about this. Buff forge guns and Swarm launcher (fix the pathing whilst your at it). there its a 'it kills me more that 5 times a match, make it stronger' post :) |
