and for rail turrets/forge guns would warn you if a rail turret/forge gun is charging within 250 meters
of you're ship,

That's cute. Do you know how many times I've been shot down around the ~550m range?

If you have problems with swarms killing you, you need to learn to fly better or you aren't fit right.

Don't you think they'd only add anti air tanks if they gave us some new air to anti?

Second, more EHP will not make you a better pilot. Not sure why people keep throwing this suggestion around.

As soon as maps become larger, you'll see a huge jump in dropship survivability.

They are very good at their intended role.

This is the very least that can happen for dropship pilots with the announcement of the destroyer HAV,
my thoughts on how it should work (if they do implement it)

ad two extra slots to dropships and maybe tanks too

counter measure slot

and warning system slot

warning systems would be passive modules such as lock on warning for swarms,
and for rail turrets/forge guns would warn you if a rail turret/forge gun is charging within 250 meters
of you're ship,

as for counter measures
of course flares or an EMP burst that negates locks for swarms
with a 30 or 40 second cooldown time,

and for rail turrets/forge guns something like an inertia dampener (if someone has a better idea for rail/forge counter measures please feel free to suggest one )that slows down the round
very greatly reduces damage (of these weapons only) that lasts for 15 seconds
with a very long cooldown time say 90 or 120 seconds,

these should take 0 or very low pg/cpu and are not mandatory, cost about 5k per module, and have
skills like 2% shorter cooldown per level,

this way you can have swarm warning systems with rail/forge counter measures but it wont do you very mch good as you would likely have to take a hit of a forge gun to know its shooting at you and
it won't really matter if you know the swarms are coming cause you won't be able to counter them,

so to effectively counter av you would need both the warning system and the counter measures of one type,
