I can't take any dropship thread seriously that complains about the handling. The handling is fine. The fact that they made sweet **** to the standard and logi handling is a *****, but it's still fine.
Your buffs are far too extreme in most cases.
Also, Assault Dropship is NOT a gunship.
Just look at its design, it is NOT a proper attack platform. The only reason people put up any numbers with them is lack of proper AV on the enemy team, or no one spawning in a militia dropship and crashing into them, like they should. |

Sorry but assault dropships are the gunships of the heli world here in Dust. SO they need to act like one.
Yea, because CCP doesn't want to design a real gunship, they would rather use cheap bandaids than actually make real vehicles.
Handling has only gotten better; more difficult, but better. Minus the whole, nerf the hell out of standard and logi responsiveness. Why they did that is beyond me...oh wait...bandaids. |

Really I think they need to make a rehaul to the assault dropship keep a similar look to the others but give them a few noticable differences and to make them look more gunshipish. I kind of against the pilot operated turret would rather have a medium turret on the front that is ran by a gunner. THen I can concentrate on flying.
The way I picture a "Gunship" is a bulkier, slower, lower flying craft with a forward mounted pilot operated medium turret, with two forward mounted small turrets, facing at a 30-45% angle from the primary turret. There would also be a top mounted turret towards the rear of the vehicle. The general shape of the craft would be like a much thicker stealth bomber, the V wing ones, and it would fly slightly facing towards the ground, more like hover, really. It would not be a very agile craft at all, though an afterburner on it could be very amusing.
The more agile ships should be left as fighters, I feel. |
