That is the problem with these people calling for a FG nerf. They use cheap gear with no tank and then expect it to be some super awesome death machine. I have shot many a drop ship that laughed at my FG and then few into cover to rep up and come back again providing air cover. Plus the high damage FG has a 6 second base root. That means that while the forge gunner is charging his weapon he is a sitting duck. So quit complaining and get good. Problem is a 1.5 million DS with all proto modules speced for defense still can't survive the second hit. edit: from even some militia forge...
Schalac 17 is right. With enough SP and ISK in the last build we had drop ships comfortably tanking fire, retreating, repping, coming back. Meanwhile the AV ammo count goes down while the Dropship comes back 100 percent strong.
In this current build with a tier four assault Forge Gun (FG Prof 3, no damage mods) I have never killed a healthy proto Dropship with two shots. Once the vehicle skills are finally fix we'll see the flying super tanked dropship again.
There have only been two times in this game when my kills on a Dropship were not the pilots fault. One incident while my side was redlined I snuck to their line and caught a newbie DS pilot off guard during his practice flying. The other a pilot was flying right in a very straight line almost right at me. Every other kill was from people who called their dropships from outside their red-zone, they linger in an area like a blimp, or my favorite instead of being a transport they decided to fly right into a hotspot like the hero in some Hollywood action movie.
It really is stomach turning with how much people like to complain and then something is nerfed beyond use. Forge Guns already have been balanced to the point of a nerf. They need a nerf like these forums need another rant post.
Dear CCP, please do not do to Forge Guns that you did to HMGs at the start of this build.
As the thread author suggests we probably should get rid of the Forge Gun for the pilots. We can also get rid of the HAVs and Dropships for us infantry. Why not toss out the Swarms and all other specialty weapons too. Let's just have Assault Rifles and LAVs while arguing if Flux Grenades are OP. |

In the Vietnam War there were Hueys were lost to small arms fire. So Dropships are significantly better off in Dust. |

So that's how they decided to fix the over tanking problem with vehicles? *facepalm* There was a problem although not sure if that was the best solution.
The ninja nerf you're talking about is the one with the incorrectly worded skill, right? |
