Getting a little tired of shooting down these coffins only for them to drop out of the sky instead of spectacularly blowing up mid air.
The way I see it, they should become uncontrollable and start to fall around ~5% armour but if you whelp them down to zero while in mid air, then golly they should go pop! Sometimes you don't get the kills as the clones just suicide, sometimes you don't even get the vehicle kill either, very frustrating.
It would be like finishing off a tank, only instead of it going pop it losses a track instead and veers of the the side for 10seconds allowing everybody to bail out. Utter bullshit I say. |

They should just cut out the middle man and explode a few seconds after being deployed. |

I think it's fine. Let dropships have something FOR them.
On a related note, MCCs should go down like dropships, rather than going straight from floating there without a scratch to turning into a firework. |

Lol, well from what I've seen, if you hit them once with a Railgun and the pilot hasn't really invested SP in the skill, they lose control and crash.  |

I fly dropships, and its not like you can really save them once they hit zero armour (unless your high up and you just popped a repper, then maybe)
So yeah, let'em pop once 5 secs after they hit zero. |

I knew it. I told everyone in corp I suspected it, but this confirms it.
You're a dirty, stinkin RDV pilot.

I wouldn't fly a Caldari RDV if you cut off my legs and sewed me to the cockpit.

Might as well, you hit zero then fall out of the sky, given your repper just enough time to ensure you crash with 500 armour. |

One day they will release the vids of dropship pilots looking into the sky, chasing the RDV, and the voice com expletives as the RDV changes direction and delivers your dropship/HAV to a blueberry to far away for you to reach. |

Also keeping things on track, the RDVs have way too much ehp, seriously wtf they need to pop easier like in the pre chromosome build. I want more mid air explosions damnit, the one thing I really hate is the fact the RDV has more ehp than the tanks they are dropping off. And dropships should explode in ******* mid air!!! |

I've dropped far more MLT Dropships with my swarms than I received any WP for. If I'm lucky I get a kill assist. Half the time, nada. Lame. |

The irony is you complaining about WP gains in a thread about killing dropships.

As an assault dropship pilot, I must say that they do sometimes explode in mid-air, but it is a glitch where nothing hits me at all, yet I an shown as committing suicide :( , they need to be fixed on both ends, as I would not mind the instant explosion at 0 armor, most of the time the ship falls on my anyhow... |

and usually if you shoot it out of the sky and it has 0 armor you will get an assist because the " ground " finishes the kill. |

And as the person manning the rail gun installation that brought you to your fiery end those points should be mine. The fact you can't earn anything is between CCP and you...  |

Rail gun installations require so little skill that you should get -WP just for getting kills with them |

Agreed can't say I've ever gotten a kill from shooting one down. I don't fly them but they also need not explode at the slightest bump on the ground for a LAV. Just random nuisance exploding of LAV's and drop ships needs to stop all together. That and dieing because you tried to walk a small hill and stub your toe. I don't mind dieing at the hands of a foe but just up and dieing for no reason is ridiculous. |
