This is a IRL version of the dropship

this is obviously not a combat vessel... neither is the dropship

you want fighters and CCP is working on these and will add in gunships (read flying tanks)

The Dropship should maybe get a little more EHP but should never be OMGSKYDEMON!>!?!?!

Would you like to see a picture of a real life infantry unit?

It can cannot sustain more than one or two rounds of enemy fire without immediate incapacitation or death. It is obviously NOT suited for ground combat. Take your merc and read a book in the MCC because as the infantry counterpart it should fall over dead as soon as it gets hit with one or two rounds.

All military transport aircraft have defensive capabilities, The fact that in this game you can shoot someone from a dropship with a rocket at point blank range and have no effect is an example of a skewed damage system.

Like I said before if it takes one to two hits to take out a drop ship that should be about the same damage that should be dealt with a drop ship rocket especially when you consider that gunners are shooting from a moving shooting platform.

For example look at the tactical assault rifles? You think that is not broken?

The tac ar is a terrible weapon and should be removed from the game... the gallente do not use rail guns they blaster the **** out of things.

And I run scout on occason what is this nonsense about taking more than two shots?

have u tried missiles on the dropship yet? they recieved a rather nice buff and work pretty well against installations not quite sure how well they work on infantry yet most the pilots i fly with wont give me the chance to shoot them and no one ever gets in my dropship

It's still mostly a direct hit weapon which makes it fine for AV but pretty crappy for AP. you can sort of make it work, but it isn't worth the time or energy.

I just felt the need to chime in a little here. I have been gunning for a friend, who has been flying a grimses. I must say that I do not know what you are referring to, because we have been wreaking havoc the past couple rounds. In the past few games alone I have taken out multiple tanks (most of them Militia, but a couple Madrugers) as well as a few dropships, again mostly militia variants. I have also been able to successfully take out all sorts of infantry, from scouts to prototype heavies, and can usually place my rounds directly on target with ease. When gunning I usually go 10-0, unless we explode. We are using prototype accelerated missile launchers, and I have put some skills into Turret Operation. We have lost a few of our own dropships in these games, but I feel they are far from ineffective, and if they are in the right hands are devastating killing machines.

Anyway, that has just been my experience. Your results may vary.

Swarm launchers well they Lock way to quick and we cant tell and that's my only complaint

I don't see how he's able to stay in place long enough to give u a shot. As it is infantry is small hard to hit and I usually get 3 or 4 of them with forge guns or swarms that litterally are point and shoot weopons with how easy it is to get kills with them. Swarms never miss and forge only needs 1 shot to rip off your ehp.
