your just using it wrong.
what are dropships supposed to do - pick up troops, drop them off.
what are dropships currently used for - fly snipers to the top of the map, hovering about shooting stuff from the sky.
if you don't fit tank then you only have yourself to blame when you die.
if you hover about then you only have yourself to blame when you die.
if you get too close to the ground then you only have yourself to blame when you die.
i have killed plenty of dropships all doing the above. easy pickings and its not down to nerfed dropships. its bad piloting. i have spent whole matches trying to take out active players in fit dropships and failed miserably many times.
i only kill bad pilots and drivers and thats true because the good ones always get away. |

That said, you don't have to be completely stupid to lose a dropship. They do seem very vulnerable (I've killed around 15 today alone!). But having never used them, I can't really say what's wrong - I just know that I kill them far far too easily.
i tend to take out alot recently but thats due to the dropship pack of the market. they are just disposable to some people. although the proper dropships are a hell of alot tougther than those to kill. like you said you were killing a stupid pilot which in general is the main case for what people feel is a nerfed dropship |

why are you trying to get kill assists in a 1.5mil dropship. drop your team off. they drop a spawn beacon while your flying back to safety. recall dropship at replenishment instalation and re deploy to the beacon. job done |

you can only admire the bravery and skill of the pilot. good on him. |

That is the biggest problem with dropships.
but a dropship is for dropping people off.. if they are already on the ground then the dropship is not needed and you should switch to ground combat untill the dropship is needed again |

tanks are for supplying cover and suppresive fire. dropships are for transporting troops |

That's just ridiculous. Dropships shouldn't be balanced as a one-shot taxi that you just use and recall to avoid it getting one-shotted by any dedicated AV player. No one wants Dropships to take hits like HAVs, they just want them to be able to take enough hits to do their job of being transports.
but thats the problem. very few people use them as transport ships. they use them for dps or personal transport for snipers. if its har to take out every tower in every map would have a sniper on it and every point would have a heavy tanked dropship above it . |

My dropships can make the job easier.
but thats the problem. its a transport ship not a combat ship. get in and get out fast |
