Mostly just flying them because a match has been steamrolled in my favor for once but, is there ANYTHING you can do about swarm launcher players? Other than hardeners and boosters? I will grant that I am only flying the militia variants but, not even being warned unless you see them fired, or you notice most of your health is gone is a bit annoying. I mean really thousands of years of advancement and they STILL haven't got lock on warnings! So back to the subject at hand, any way to help or do I just need deal with it? |

Afterburners and escape to repair. Hide behind cover, if possible. Land so swarms crash into something.Have passengers who can identify where swarms came from. Fly over and drop a heavy.
Mostly afterburners. |

You should be able to see and hear Swarms coming. Practice evading and read up on the dropship piloting threads in the training grounds section. |

Destroy Supply Depots
A person can look up into the sky, see you, walk over, change to a FREE swarm launcher fittings and spam the depot for ammo. Destroy them. Turrets too (especially).
Once you get rid of supply depots, you get rid of the enemy's ability to swap suits without losing a clone. It also inhibits the ability for them to gain ammo, but Nanohives can be deployed.
Once you've eliminated turrets and depots, you've destroyed the ability to streamline into an AV fit. It just works out 10 times better for your Dropship. Even if someone bothers deploying as AV, depending on how the Null Cannons are contested, it's not hard to evade or drop a trooper over them.
In Condor, when we got an AV bugging us, we fly over the AV, drop off maybe one or two "skydivers" who nuetralize the threat with turret support from the dropship.
Strategy is how you outplay the AV. |

Another word counter measures....
Build your ship and don't forget to include repair, you can also hook up with a skilled logi or support to conduct repairs, look me up sometime, I might be lurking in the the shadows... I'll die trying... |

How do you destroy the turrets/installations from the DS? I've found that when my blueberry gunners fire on blaster installations, that's the fastest way for me to be knocked out of the sky. As for supply depots, how long does it take for two small turrets to take one out?

You don't, you use swarms, remote explosives or a tank to take them out, turrets take too long and makes you a target. Oh and the answer to killing turrets is to hover or orbit above them where they can't shoot you but your gunners can still hit them, the only downside is it makes you an easy target for forge guns |
