I'm running a Sica with a Blaster right now. It's been a good deterrent for Dropships the couple of times I've called one in.
They generally run before you can get solid damage on them though. Probably good for supporting a Forge Gun with.
Railguns would most likely be a better option for you. I'm better with Blasters, personally, but they aren't good at shooting Dropships. |

A good dropship pilot will simply hover above you where you can't shoot at him while his gunners take you apart in a surprisingly quick amount of time, but i've heard rail tanks can get good results probably be easier just to grab a forge gun. |

A good Dropship Pilot will either let me shoot him down with Swarm Missiles while he's hovering over the tank or run from me and get shot down by the tank. If there's anyone - ANYONE - running AV alongside a non-Missile tank, Dropships are vulnerable. |

oooh, glad to see this guy got some responses. Playing dropship roulette when you enter a match is no fun, and I had been wondering how a railgun tank would do vs air. Even just calling it in when there are a plethora of vehicles running around sounds like fun!
Does it take a lot of work to get into rail guns though? |

From my experience so far ive been using railgun and tank combo tried the blaster but i found the railgun actually destabilizes the dropship causing it to crash at times. Im using militia grade equipment as im focusing my sp on infantry at the moment, getting decent results dropship wise. |

I've been the Swarm guy in that situation several times.
And I've been a Blaster HAV in a similar situation with a Forge Gunner. |
