Ok, i get into a skirmish match. spawn at mcc, call in dropship in my own deployment, as soon as it lands it gets blown up?? WTF ccp, The deployment area is supposed to be a safe zone to call in vehicles and what not. Instead someone blows up my dropship from their deployment.

Stop using an alt to like all your posts.

On a serious note, they do not need less range. They need more range. They are railguns for crying out loud!

false, they need nerfed and decreased range or at least not put in the red-line

You need a team that can secure them. If you can't secure them, keep vehicles away from them.
Or feed the turret gunner your clone in a can for an easy kill, it's all good.

FFS
Don't deploy VEEHIKLES in range of big meen turrets...

Damn this is too easy. Look dude you're the one getting shot down, I don't really care.

Sigh... enough with these arguments. the Railgun Instillations are working more as intended as you think.

they are in the red line because in CQ, railguns are totally worthless, and are a very long range weapon [also no as sniper rifles too if you actually look]

if you got hit by anything.... it had to have been a tank. yes, sometimes they get the first RDV right off the bat with a tank, and then proceed to start firing at things. hell, if you're really so worried about it, then figure out a better place to call one in, because right under the MCC is no where near as safe as you would think on some maps.

My god, EVERYONE i was not flying around or being an idiot. I wouldn't be on this post if it got destroyed fairly. I had just called it in, rdv is dropping it then it blows up. I just don't want isk to be wasted on something i can't even use. Yes it probably just was that one particular map but still, I SHOULD NOT BE BLOWN UP IN MY OWN DEPLOYMENT! simple as that. No railgun should be able to blow up my vehicles when i call them in my own deployment.

i really hat to break it to you, but just about anythign can actually kill you under the MCC, they just need the line to do so. just because its in redline doesn't mean you are not going to get hit, and look at it from outside of your own narrow veiw, not to be rude, but you're being a really closed minded ass about this whole thing

To be honest this guys spot on . There are what I call safer spots to land your dropship or tank. Try to look for somewhare deep in the red line close to the edge of a map and if possible behind a hill. Failing that set up a malitia rail gun tank and go turret busting before you call in your ship . There is no rush to get your ship out at the verry start these games can last for 20 to 35 mins pending on how good both teams are so 10 mins of your game destroing the turret instalations will give a free fly zone. And if you fail to take any of this advice and still lose your ship then you only have yourself to blame . Improvise, adapt , overcome. And most of all happy hunting.

Thanks again :)

Dude I feel or have felt your pain thats why I never call on a vehicle directly under the mcc or in ground base as I said you will find safer spots to call in your ship and if your unsure how safe it is then call in a free lav to test the watter. Just dont ever call in any valuable war machines at the mcc or ground base allways and I do mean allways find your safe landing zone.

You did very good on your literacy :) all except "malitia" i think the word your looking for is "militia" :)

Too late for appologies now . If I see your drop ship itl never leave your red line when mr compressed ion canon and my self are watching. happy hunting well if you call crashing down in a ball of flames hunting

Hah; I keep tanks in the redline with my assault ship. If a tank ventures ANYWHERE out of the red when I am flying, they are dead, no matter if you are shield or armor tank. If you try to hop out and recall, you're dead. If you stand and try to fight, you're dead. If you run, you're dead. I am the reason that you keep your tank in the red. Sure, I won't be attacking many other ground targets when your tank is out, but I am sure as hell going to be able to keep your tank's effectiveness suppressed as well.

You cam try . But you will die in your flying firebrick

Find a safer place to deploy, dropships are fragile.

Ronan, as the only dropship pilot in your corp, allow me to say that the OP is right. I got one blown up in our red zone at the very start of the match as well, and I'm very careful about where I call one of these things down.

Hahaha; you must not have ever used an Assault Dropship. Thing can hit the flight ceiling in under 2 1/2 seconds. It is one speedy, well-tanked, BAMF. If you are out of your redline, I can just teabag you to death (hover over you and out of your turret vertical range). The ONLY way a tank even has a chance of taking me out is by surprise, and even then, my awareness and speed can get me out before a second hit arrives and my tankiness makes it where a tank needs to hit me 3-4 times to down me by himself.

Good luck. ;)

I do concede that the slower, lower end dropships do make fun tank cannon fodder.

after the whole turret aiming screw up i learned to use hills to be able to aim up and now that they fixed that issue if i can find a hill the only place safe from my tank is directly behind me even hovering directly above me exposes dropships to my 80gj scattered ion cannon or missile turrets whichever i feel like using

You are a moron. I was in my deployment. AKA "safe zone" of course i'm not going to call it in in the middle of the battlefield. If their turrets can kill me under my own MCC then something is wrong. I take it you are a red line abuser and have no life.
