reason why you barelay see any dropships:
-militia forgegun
-swarms are now even more BS cause of the tracking pattern which screws them over now
(yes they fly around corners even more now on ground vehicles)
-missile launcher nerf rendered those turrets useless
-new physics when you touch the ground or any object with to much speed you end up as a burning pinata
-blueberrys still dont jump out of dropships
-no WP for pilots even when a mobile CRU is attached to it (spawning on a dropship)

now you see those are all big issues at the moment and the only counter against swarms is the afterburner module. If you dont have that you will get shot down extreme fast by the starter fit which has a swarm launcher on it.

You neglected to mention how the controls are absolutely horrible to handle and you'll lose more ships to yourself being unable to fly it right before you even make it to the battlefield

no, he didn't. The controls are fine. Difficult to learn, but extremely maneuverable once you take the time to get a grasp of it.

Maneuverablity is **** on dropships compared to precursor. And the controls are easy also compared to precursor. I am sorry but i want harder controls that reward for skill.

I was a dropship pilot during precursor, and I completely agree about the old controls. We also need that assist system they keep promising us!

They also tank better (which makes sense being they are not made of light materials used for planes) A drop-ships main advantage is its ability carry a whole squad of six, to fight at least one person needs to gun, idealy two. Between getting more WP's (more isk) and surviving more, and killing more (lpadding KD raito) a tank wins for a pub match. Why would anyone try to solo in a dropship? The strength of them is to drop a bunch of shotgunners and HMGers on top of the enemy.
