As someone who currently specializes in Swarms, I would LOVE more things in the air to shoot. Heck, this game could only benefit from having more vehicle types in general. LAVs, HAVs and Dropships aren't enough, Jets, Gunships, Mechs, APCs, maybe even ATV type vehicles, this game should have massive maps and with it massive amounts of machinery on them. Every Dust trailer video features large scale vehicular combat so it's clearly something that's planned for the game, they just need to have more variety in the vehicles we can call in. Personally, as I see it:
LAVS: Basically stay as they are, quick cheap weak transport that can eventually be specialized into support vehicles.
HAVS: Again, staying what they are, big rolling guns with lots of armor.
Dropships: First off, they should get points for being used as mobile spawners, be able to take hits better and mainly be used to move and deploy troops or act as floating Logi-bros for heavy ground vehicles.
Gunships: Mainly should be air cover ground support, two pilots, three turrets, two of which controlled by co-pilot. Less armor then Dropships, but much better handling and control.
Jets: These should be Air Superiority vehicles, mainly used to hit and run with limited ground fire weapons, maybe Air to Surface lock on missiles to take out other vehicles/installations with quick strafing runs. Very fast but easily blown out of the sky, even by Swarms.
Mechs: These should be single pilot walking guns. More maneuverable then tanks but far less armor. Preferably with two turrets and able to out run tanks but not able to survive direct fights with them.
APCs: Basically ground based Dropships but much cheaper to skill up and deploy, high armor, medium speed, two small turrets used mainly to transport at least an entire squad not counting pilot/gunners. Which in the end would make it the highest count troop transport in the game.
ATVs: Single driver, weaponless landcraft that are faster then LAVs but meant more for stealth commando players and the like. They could make them small hover craft or something instead of the basic quad rollers and junk.
