After very many encounters with red-line railgun tanks and forge guns, I went that road with the respec, still having my dropships available. So far I haven't encountered a single red dropship that kept flying. Doesn't seem to be balanced when I can shoot a dropship down on deployment, on take-off, on approach, on landing, while it's providing CAS, you name it - all from a great distance. Ashland, for one instance, is so cramped that the eastern red-line is in plain sight - yesterday blown a Prometheus up before the RDV even released it. There are many people who don't know what they're doing, but it's hard to see how skilled they are if they are not given time to react.
In fact, I rarely fly now as there are barely any people who want to get involved with dropships, and soloing in a DS is fun as long as there are snipers on high ground. Railguns are much more profitable, they make it easy to get the most WP in a match, and it's more fun to take on red tanks with rails than to take great risks just to annoy them. Not to mention blasting infantry away. I will probably keep shooting dropships down until they either extinct or get fixed. |

Five of the reasons I'd prefer flying in Chromosome over flying in Uprising.
- I could see any and all vehicles in the red zone from the map view, and so could my gunners if I have had something better to do. Now it's easier to simulate the map view by flying high.
- I could see those shiny tanks out in the distance, way beyond their reach. All I needed to do is do a few passes around the map to scout possible sniper tank locations, and keep track of red RDVs afterwards. Now I can only see a tank as soon as I'm in range of its compressed particle accelerator (already trained in my general direction if I'm doing my job). Same goes for installations. I can still see RDVs even beyond the rendering distance, but their cargo I can't; I need to hug cover and fly all the way there to see if it's something bad or just a MLT LAV.
- I could hear and see swarms from afar, plus they didn't have active lag cloaking.
- There was more cover to use, and more hills to pancake snipers on.
- Players in general were more agreeable towards using dropships, since the game lacked updates that would bring more stuff to do on the ground.
