Only reason I lost my ADS in the only PC battle I've been in was because my fellow pilot in that match briefly lost control and crashed into me. That said the enemy team had gotten grief uni'd so it's hardly a fair example. |

A lot of people get hard-on trying to shoot him down, but he gets away a lot. But having gunners is a whole other story. My squadmate screams at me when it comes to me shooting down certain targets. But that's because he knows his dropships well and I'm still trying to improve being a gunner. alot of people just dont notice there there,, they just do a little explosion by my feet knocking my health down by 20 .. and me wondering where it came from. there not rally a threat. if some 1 tried abit to take it out it would be toast, i find myself just ignoring them
Hence we go for direct hits, they tend to take your shields out. |

5 dropships lost in one PC match, they can be useful if AV is light, but if they get a high position with 3 forge gunners your toast. |

Bastards had 3 forge gunners on the tower in E7, made it impossible to do anything but fly at high altitude and die. |

Honestly, 3 Forge Guns in an elevated position SHOULD make it impossible to do anything with a dropship. That's perfectly good balance IMO. The problem is, it really only takes 1 decent forge gunner anywhere with an even halfway decent vantage point to make it impossible to do anything with a dropship. Makyre Vahliha wrote:....
We're getting too technical about how a dropship can be taken down. It's just like in real life, anyone can shoot down a military helicopter with a RPG in one shot, which is equivalent to AV weapon. I'm saying that one can be skilled in flying a dropship with practice, but not being invincible. In real life a soldier can take down another soldier with a single pistol round. I guess ALL the guns should be OHK then, amirite?
I know it's a perfectly valid tactic, but leave me to my rage, couldn't do crap, all I could do was do a couple of high speed dives on them and hope to land a hit, and then I would leave myself exposed low down, it's possible to dance with 1 forge gunner and kill him, but when you have 3 guys shooting at you? It's impossible. |

Depends on what you fit, how accurate you are with it, and how long you have to shoot the damn thing. |

Depends on what you fit, how accurate you are with it, and how long you have to shoot the damn thing. Figured that. Seems like you would need an extremely lucky shot with a missile or railgun to kill anything on the ground, or tons of time to take out another dropship.
Accelerated missiles will OHK anything but heavies or proto suits, blasters need some work due to their crappy reticule but are pretty good for killing infantry, and small railguns are still the most useless thing in new Eden.
As for fights between dropships they can take awhile if both pilots have good fits and can fly well. |
