Lets face it pilots, dropships don't do any 1 thing good except explode. They are basically the punching bag of the sky's. They really are only good against militia red dots. and even then, if you get hit by a forge gun too close to a lamp post, you are done for.
The gunship would fix this problem, it would have a co pilot, guns for all passengers, and it would be able to take a beating as well as dish one out.
I dont remember which build it was, but dropships used to be able to fly down and crush people and then fly back up again with no damage taken (or very little damage.) . Dropships don't have to go back to that, but the collision damage we have now needs to be gone. ( maybe a middle ground more towards the old dropship build rather than just the middle)
Just a rough draft of what I was thinking. |

What no, the arrival of six person squads are coming and that way the taxi role will be fulfilled. Besides, there were moments where my gunners went beast mode and the dropship squad were top 3. |

Once 16vs16 corp matches start dropships will become very important |

Force projection, reason enough for me to invest into them |

Dropship's have a role it's just that right now CCP hasn't given the means or the requirements to fulfill that role, and gunship's will have a different role entirely, they aren't designed for transport. |

Not to mention we don't need that role yet, with the tiny maps. |

They shouldn't be scrapped they just need support. Once fighters and gunships are introduced dropships will have enough cover to do what they where made for which is infiltration, hot LZ extraction and rapid response back up.
As an ex-bf3 jet and attack helicopter pilot I have an alt sitting on passive waiting for these vehicles. |

Fly like a mad-man and it seems to be worth it. Went 9/0 the other day just me & my Myron. No gunners, 6 squash & run-down kills. Other 3 were basically parking next to Red-guy & shooting them quick, bounce back into the air. New AB kinda sucked at first but now I feel like it acts more like a sprint as oppose to speed-bursts, much more effective in the long-run. Lose most DS to pilot error now....SL are just fun & games....finally did a successful Barrel Roll since new AB (lost 4 DS in a row when they changed those up but got the new handling down).
Despite all this I still find it hard to clear 100k ISK when I decide to primarilly fly, so that sucks. Bottom line DS are only as fun as you make them & getting at least 1/4 of an enemy team trying to shoot me down instead of going after the guys shooting at them is quite satisfying.
As far as Gunships go...be sweet when/if I ever get my greedy hands on, but gotta face the fact that DS isn't an attack vehicle. It's a harassment vehicle. I can live with that, even if some times lose 3 in a match....
Also on a side note...Piloting skill...does it affect anything as you level up? Got it at 3 & seem to have a good amount of constant control of maneuvers (Barrel Rolls, Reverse Immelmans, etc.), but this may be due to flight time/experience...anyways, any thoughts... |

A tanker killed the myron fit I was trying out today, so in the great tradition of an eye for an eye, I killed his tank can't wait for when I can get my revenge from the air |
