Sad thing is CCP will listen to this idiot. Assault dropships take more like 50+ seconds to kill a tank if all shots are placed well and if tank is built well.

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.

"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."

Again, I'd like to know just how much eHP this proto tank had.

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?

Yeah, that means the gunners seat. Not a fully automatic death cannon that can take out anything in miliseconds.

It was a shield tank. The DS pilot had a scattered whatever blaster. No gunners on either side.

I did NOT use any repair modules, but the tank had a massive amount of shield. I'll ask my friend when he gets on how much exactly it had because I don't remember.

OK, that's 601 HP per second so in five seconds it does 3k if the pilot doesn't miss a single shot.

It overheats in 6.6 seconds so it can't keep that up for long.

So your friends tank had less than 3k total eHP. That must be a real glass cannon.

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?

I just don't like the fact that they can hover over you amd you can't do ****

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.

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.

I think so. No dropship should have a gun that the pilot can shoot in the air. It's insanely OP V.S. tanks. Dropships are TROOP TRANSPORT. Not tank destroyers.
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.
