I was excited to hear that the dropship will be getting a new tier in their class called the assault dropship which lets you have a turret specially for the pilot.
It was a good idea gone wrong.
-The first thing that irritated me is that you need to be in third person in order to aim and shoot the turret where you are aiming at. If you go in first person then you need to tilt the dropship forward and backwards in order to aim it.
-The second thing is that you need you need to be steady (IN THIRD PERSON) to aim and kill your enemy. Most of the time the enemy will be right under the dropship which you can aim down there but really can't see anything because third person is required. Not only that but the thing is too sensitive to movement and can easily be destroyed.
-Fourth thing is that gunner turrets don't work for a primary one because of their low damage. Like I said you need to be set still in order to hit anyone with either blaster, missle or railgun. Later today I had a very annoying dogfight with another assault dropship. We both ended up shooting at each other the whole match and not actually causing any damage to each other and this is because of the gunner turrets. Their specificly made for anti-infantry and not to cause dents in vehicles. So if you are an assault dropship pilot and you find yourself another one while in battle, please ignore him/her because you will be at it the whole match.
-Fifth is that they are way to expensive and can easily be taken down by a railgun installation (them railgun installation has some range now :/) and by blaster installations. My current assault dropship costs 800 million+ but yet can be taken out with 2 shots. They are not that useful if more they are useless as of now because the aiming mechanism for the front turret is broken and horrible and it also carries only 2 passengers along with 2 gunners. As of the normal dropships can carry 4 passengers and 2 gunners and they don't cost as much.
I feel disappointed with myself for dumping 2mil SP at something that is broken and useless. I could have gotten a proto suit or another race specific suit bug the little pilot inside me shouted for the assault dropship.
Please CCP learn from this mistake and don't make your jet fighters as weak, expensive and requiring third person to aim where you truly want. Also for the turrets that they will be carrying please make some specific turrets only for the jet fighters because this anti-infantry turrets will just annoy anyone who will try to form a dogfight with jets in the future.
Thanks for your attention. |

Wait lol. I exaggerated. 800K
No much for an Eve player but for a Dust player 800K can hook you up with proto gear and still that's not enough.
Sorry for the exaggeration |

A few people will make it sort of work, the rest will get burned out by the cost and lack of pilot rewards, coupled with the difficulty.
Sad, but true.
They added it because pilots will get little to no rewards for flying a normal (transport) dropship. Not to mention bored at sometimes. So they added the assault dropship. So that the pilot could have shooting as well and providemore support. But the thing is broken so... |

Which doesn't even make any sense because it's a top end ship, so new pilots still have to fight through not being rewarded to even try and fail at the new fail ship....
And thatvis why I said they are broken ;) |
