A Myron destroyed my tank with 20GJ ion cannons in roughly 7 seconds. It's a gunnlogi with 6k shields and I even used my shield hardener+booster. Maybe he had invested in many skills with damage mods? All I know is that is still unacceptable, and that 20GJ proto blaster turrents should certainly not do that kind of damage to a well fitted HAV. He was hovering in a position that couldn't shoot/aim. Those are for infantry. Not Heavy Vehicles. Now I understand dropships should not be so easily taken down by tanks, but not the other way around either. |

I've seen proto blasters take out turret installations before. Two focused on one target....especially if the DS has heat sinks and is using the high end compressed...plausible. |

Its funny isn't it? trust me man, things like this are going to start happening more and more often. Dropships can mess tanks up if there isn't any proper Anti-air going on. Lav's can do it too though its a bit more difficult. Imagine a logistics LAV tanked to be like a Sica only it moves three times faster, and has a full AV squad in it with a proto rail gun on the back. That is AV on wheels man. |

Yes it's a valuable tactic I use to take out tanks. Two ADV scattered blasters focused on a tank at the same time can easily take out a tank if everyone is skilled enough. |

If these numbers are right a single proto small blaster turret puts out 602 DPS. That's pretty much exactly enough to take down a 9k eHP Gunnlogi in seven seconds. |

The only thing threatening in that would be what the people jumping out of the LAV did. Don't logi LAVs still have 50% damage penalty or something for their turrets? Even if that's gone, small railguns have horrible efficiency vs tanks for some reason. So, good luck. |

Not sure if troll or worse. Either way, you should be ashamed to have posted this.

This.
Also, may I ask ask where was your logi/anti-tank support when you were getting owned? |

Fixed that for you.
No dropship can hover in a single spot with any AV firing at it, at all.
AV nades will wipe it out if it's that low. Swarms will knock it into a wall/ground death collision and if nothing else, displace it's position over the tank to where that heavy turret will obliterate the ds. even a militia forge gun will either single handedly kill any max fitted DS, while also knocking it around like a swarm.
Also that DS has presumably been on the map for a some ammount of time before flying over near the tank. Did this tank not know it can intercept RDV or take out any vehicle landing with one in seconds because while unoccupied it can't flee or activate modules. Did this tank also not manage to fire at the DS before hand? Doesn't take much..few seconds to kill one.
If you lose a tank to a DS and complain about it, you are bad.

I must be missing something important. Isn't the formula just a simple DPSxtime=damage output? Wouldn't that be 602x7=4214? That's not even half of 9000. |

Do not think Proto small blasters messed him up alone. Because they only do 30% damage to vehicles. they can do really well against infantry when they are able to stay within the area only problem is |

It comes to slightly over 1k D/Sec if both the pilot and gunner have 35% damage bonuses.
I've got 29% and compressed proto blasters too. One alone can take out an installation in a few seconds.
You need both going for a while to kill a tank, but it can work if they can't get under cover and don't have any AV on their side, which doesn't happen often. Just be glad small rails are screwed to hell with 36% effectiveness against HAVs. |

Sorry, my statement was imprecise.
A single proto turret does 602 DPS, but the dropship would have two of them fitted. It's the DPS of those two turrets (totalling 1204 DPS) that would give you the damage output necessary to take out a HAV.
As you can see it's still a bit shy of 9k, which is why I went with "pretty much", although with damage mods and/or skills thrown into the mix the increase in DPS should be enough to cover that gap. |

602 x 7 x 2, but it's more than that because the pilot has a minimum damage bonus of 21% in order to buy the proto blaster. |

Not to mention that the gunners skills stack on top of that. |

It's easy to laugh at a pilot who spends time training Small Missile Turrets to 5. Then his crew start three shooting Turret Installations and things get a little scary. Can only imagine how that translates with Small Blasters, Eve-style. |

A pilot flying two of those turrets most likely has dedicated gunners with 20%+ damage skills to stack on his.
It's a pretty sight to see when they mow down infantry and blow up vehicles. |

I've got small missiles at lv4 and am planning to max it and get proficiency up to a point where i can use proto cycled missiles, tanks (like grodds) will fall before me, and turrets will have all the permanence of a sand castle HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I could skill back into missiles, but I'm waiting to see if we get laser turrets or the small rails get fixed in the next build. Missiles just left a bad taste in my mouth after the nerf. |

It's a combination of turret and torrent. When a turret pours damage down so heavily that you feel like you are in a thunderstorm. |
