I'm gonna go ahead and call BS on OP's assessment of events. I've done enough flying in an assault DS with proto turret to know that no HAV is going down in five seconds to that thing, not even with all three turrets firing. Either you're making stuff up or you were under fire from multiple sources. |

What you people don't get is that I'm a dropship pilot. I don't want the things to have guns. I use them for what they are for. Pick my troops up, take them to an objective, drop them off, provide recon and enemy locations, or if i have a gunner, fire support.
I'm not a fan of one dropship getting 40-50 kills solo.
Remove the gun, remove gunners seats, buff it's shields/armor by a sh*tload, and give points for dropping troops off. That would be a real assault dropship.
I know this has been responded to a lot already, but I want to add this this is generally what we all want. But, for whatever reason, we haven't gotten it yet. We may not get it any time soon. We'd like at least some survival opportunity in the interim. |

Blasters actually can blow missiles away, DPS wise. A proto small blaster turret shooting continuously for five seconds with a +10% damage mod and small hybrid op V will do almost 3500 damage in five seconds. That's almost enough to kill a gunnlogi with no mods fit to it! Mystery solved! |

Clearly they should never implement any type of air vehicles in the game then. Easy solution. Don't hang out in the open unassisted. All it takes is ***1*** person with a FG or Swarm Launcher to send an ADS packing for the redline. I've had the driver of the tank Im firing at jump out carrying a FG. Can you guess who ran from that battle? Even a tank can't solo everything in the game. Unless you fit some TAC ARs on it, then you might be able to.
It's not really even that complicated.
An assault dropship can't shoot straight down, it can only go to about 70 degrees*. This is still better than a HAV's up elevation, but not by as much as one might think. On top of that, dropships can't change direction easily, and can't see what they're shooting. Juke around a bit and eventually you'll be able to hit the dropsihp, or at least mess up its aiming enough that it won't kill you in anything approaching a timely fashion. You might even be able to out-rep the DPS.
*Don't actually have a protractor, not totally sure. |
