5 seconds to kill a proto tank? Either your buddy had the worst fit tank in history, or that pilot was using a turret I have to get my hands on. |

Buddy of mine spawned in a proto tank for me, I go on top of a hill. And then the dropship comes.
Takes me out in less than 5 seconds. The tank can't aim up at it, and is too slow to run away. Serious BS CCP. This is coming from a dropship pilot. It's just too overpowered. A pilot should not be able to shoot unless he lands the dropship and switches to the gunner's seat.
Leave tank killing to the fighter's and the AV people. Don't give a dropship a gun that can kill anything in miliseconds. Oh no, what ever can you do?! ... wait, let me think for a sec. get a militia heavy with a forge gun, hop out and two shot the dropship to make him flee.. or maybe get a squad buddy to whip out a swarm launcher? ... problem solved. as a pilot, i don't know why i'm telling you this .. we can't do the same because if we hop out, we die. QQ some more, we paid for this.. at least you don't get nerfed every update!
Had that happen to me yesterday, I killed this guys tank, he got out a forge gun, shot me down, and then he called in his own ADS, that last bit is what really pissed me off. |

Get out of the tank and for or swarm it, or have one of your buddies do it. Why should dropships have to suffer just because a tank finally has something that can combat it? F#$k outta here.
As someone who can consistently outrun swarms in an ADS, I'll just say this, swarms won't do jackshit against fighters, they won't even be able to hit them. |

Dropships destroy tanks (similar to how choppers destroy tanks), tanks destroy AA-vehicles, and AA-vehicles destroy dropships. "A dropship is a fictional transport vehicle featured frequently in science fiction, in particular military science fiction and space opera genres. A dropship is a common fictional spacecraft archetype, generally depicted as designed to DELIVER TROOPS and equipment onto a planetary surface."
The dropship is a two-engine VTOL craft that combines advances in shielded hardware, redundant software protocols, and networked aeronautics into a heavily armored tactical platform capable of insertion and extraction in even the most hostile situations. Its standard five-man carrying capacity, dual hardpoints, and reinforced plating allow it to operate independently in any situation, alternately tracking and engaging enemy targets and ferrying troops into and out of harm's way. The Logistics class is the ultimate troop transport. A vehicle that, thanks to its on-board Clone Reactivation Unit (CRU), redefines the notion of frontline troop insertion. |

Oh you're mature, you can call someone an idiot. My feelings are so hurt. I'm going to go cry in a corner. Yeah, I hope they do nerf them. It would be awesome. 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.
You better damn well prove that someone has managed to get that many kills in an ADS in one match, most I've ever got in an ADS is 15. Actually has anyone ever gotten that many kills in a dropships this build?

1,500 max damage per 5 seconds per turret is pretty darn low.
Let's have a calm discussion rather than a bunch whining and crying.
Not to mention the reduced effectiveness against shields and increases effectiveness against armour, were you using a shield tank or an armour one? |

Missiles are something like 70% effective against shields, just take away about a third of the damage if you feel like being lazy. And yeah scattered blasters just strip HP like you wouldnt believe, only thing that slows them down is the overheat. I'd guess he had an damage mod and an overheat mod to kill you that quickly. And I still think your exaggerating the TTK. |

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.
Yeah, if my ADS could have 4 tac AR's instead for a turret nothing would stop me (except the fact that everything does) |

Your more or less correct, not to mention the ADS seems to have a tendency to constantly drift forwards, meaning your almost constantly making passes then turning round to make another pass. |
