You forgot MAVs are an expected vehicle class. They'll likely include IFVs, APcs, and other such vehicles. |

They'll likely include IFVs, APcs, and other such vehicles. Wouldn't surprise me at all but people seem to forget we already have a troop transport and still they keep asking for one. Having said that I don't see how much use an APC would be given that the drop ship goes faster, has a CRU and can avoid a lot of fire fights. Might just be me but I feel like adding an APC would take something away from the dropship role.
APC may be cheaper, and require less skill. Or maybe with the introduction of AA weapon and installations you may need ground transport. but i'd definitely rather hot drop in from a dropship. |

Aldo once we get more planet types gas for example the drop ship will get more useful. So both have a place and a function but only time will tell.
True. Dropships are pretty light weak right now. The only chance they stand is speeding away. a nicely tanked APC could crash any party. |
