its all about training and the pilots skills to keep the Dropship Steady while your gunners shoot and having good gunner because shooting out of a Dropship isnt something your regular Blueberry can do.
Using armor variants is the best option you have if plan to use the Dropship as a Gunship
It doesnt get unstabilized by swarms or forge shot (or at least not like the shield ones who can get shot down by 1 mlt forge shot if theyre too close to the ground because they lose control, touch something and bip bip bip.... death)
I have armor hardeners ON as soon as i get hit by something and my afterburners ready to get out FAST if i have less than 50% armor
you can outrun swarms with Afterburners and obliterate large infantry group with some scattermind Ion Cannons if your gunner know how to shoot those things (or even Mlt Blasters if the gunners is a good one) ive had gunner that wen 42/0 by just shooting out of my dropship without camping just engagin large groups
Its all about how hard you train
if you dont train you will get shot down before 2 minutes have elapsed and your gunners wont get a single kill even if they re is a large group of people because you cant keep the Dropship Steady
but if you and your gunners train you will make hell rain over your enemies because you will be able to keep the Dropship Steady and your gunners will know how to aim the blaster so that you dont have to be much time in the same position
If you use Shield DS and use blasters you have to use the sabilized ones because if you are too close a good forge shot and your are down |

Well you havent seen me flying then Lucky for you I suppose :P Try a forge gun. Its harder to Not hit the drop ship.
its pretty easy to kill them if they dont notice you
specially shield ones, you just shoot them once and they unsatbilize and fall
i know its easy but that is because there isnt many brave Mercs that spec on Dropships because they are a llittle but ****** right now and most DS you see flying are MLT ones and shield ones and that combos sucks if you try to use it a a gunship
Those Brave Soldiers who spec-Ķed on Dropships (like me) do it becuase they like it, they like to help althought it gives you no reward (by transporting) or those who hope that in a near future we will rule the skies again , like in the Dropships Golden Age
And those soldiers know how ****** a MLT Ds can be because you have les tanking capabilities (what you need to survive) due to the lack of 1 slot
for example i cant have 3000 armor + armor hardeners on at all times on a Gorgon but i can on a Grimmses or Prometheus
or 5000 Armor and an armor hardeneres or things like that that are needed for your sirvival
And to any Dropship pilots out there i tell you
if you have an armored Dropship you need 3 Things to survive
SKILLS
AFTERBURNERS
ARMOR HARDENERS
(good gunnners are optional but really usefull) |

Meh, that depends on which Dropship was in the air and which Forge Gun was being used.
The proto breach deals something like 3.1k at the expense of movement and a longer charge up. It ought to tear through militia fits like nothing else.
But a militia FG can already tear through a militia ds. That's true, but militia AV pretty much tears through militia vehicles anyway... so I dunno where you're going with this point. That there's no kill like overkill. You're trading longer charge time and movement to do more damage than you need, when talking about taking out a militia ds.
Breach Forge Surfing on a Dropship is an Awesome Vehicle Killing Combo |

armor hardeners are better than shield ones becase it last 30 secs where you can still take fire or be in a fight to kill a bunch of reds
Shield hardeners not so much , if you activate them you have 10 secs to get out fast without getting shot dow because it doesnt last long but those are way better than boosters (if you have a decent shield recharge rate) |

dropship surfing seriously screws with my view, and surfers and afterburners don't mix well
if they are on the nose of the Dropship you can fly just fine

Well you havent seen me flying then doesn't matter how fast you are, forge guns are easy to aim, the only difference is they won't 1hit non-militia drop ships. there are plenty of times though my militia forge gun went up against pro dropship users with good fits, and it took a while to take them down but im not specced into forge guns at all XD I posted that forge guns were OP in the closed beta, and though they aren't as bad now, they are still easily the best AV weapon in the game.
its not about the speed but about the evasive manuvers
if you see a Forge gun just trust to another direction, once their shot is out get away the fuel injectrs |

It's actually cheaper in the long run to upgrade past militia DS, you can easily lose a 300k isk DS every couple of matches, while my 450k isk DS will survive most matches
mine costs 700ISK
it survives most matches but my lag + collison dmg = death |

i have to agree with you
the best weapon against a dropship is a RDV |
