StormBloodmoon Warbringer WarRavens 5	Posted - 2012.11.10 01:21:00 - [1] - Quote Honestly, everyone who says you need teamwork or Forge guns, or to shoot your swarms at tactical times to destroy dropships. We just tried all of that, we had two Forge guys and three swarm guys, nothing hit it at all, even when the swarmers shot when it was coming straight at us. If CCP doesnt do something about dropships they are going to lose a lot of players because of it. Whether that something is to nerf the dropship, buff swarms or forges, or make dropships act like dropships (An obvious one in my opinion) it doesnt matter, so long as a single dropship cant redline 16 guys in full AV spec trying to destroy it.

I know i'm beating a dead horse by saying this, but it's not the drop ship that needs rebalancing. It's the turrets (because that's what doing all the killing) How often do your forge guys use their forge guns? What type of forge guns were they using? Was the pilot flying like a mad man? I know, but thats kinda what I mean. Our two forge guys were shooting it as it was flying directly at us in a perfectly straight line, as were our swarms, the pilot was just flying directly at us, cornering when he hit the redline then flying straight again. The Forges they were using were one below proto, but that didnt really help cause we just couldnt hit it. Perhaps they should just force a dropship to be used as its namesake, a dropship. Give it maybe boosted armour or shields and force it to only use a blaster turret so it can suppress guys when it is dropping troops of or picking them up.

Picking and chosing when you're taking your shots is key. disclaimer I'm not trying to patronize your forge gunners. I know what you mean, but if shooting slightly ahead of it while it is taking a straight line towards everyone isnt the right time, when is?
