See you say that but think about the announcement of the new AA-HAV. That caught us all by surprise. Why do we need that? It was described as having fast tracking. Well blaster and missles tanks can track a drop ship no problem. So can a rail unless it's really really close. So current tanks have no need for faster tracking to track current aircraft. Well one reason is that when implementing new mechanics sometimes it's a very good idea to have the counter in place before the item being countered. This reverse implementation helps when adding a more dynamic element.
We have HAVs. They need a tweak but they work. They have counters, people can use them etc. Jets would drastically change the battlefield. It is wise to make sure that when they arrive there is already something to deal with them that is tested and works.
Now I don't think we'll get Jets anytime soon. But remember to consider the bigger picture. We don't need dropships. But we have them. Why? Because they will be needed for bigger maps, new game modes. If the developers introduced drop ships at the exact same time as huge maps... noone would be skilled into them but we would have to have them. So you get them in early, tested, skilled into (fixed soon I hope) so when you add new maps that need troop transport we already have it. See the Pattern? |

But Iadwar it changes the marketplace to have a faster tracking turret. Thats a change. It's not about fixing tanks it's about a new item that seems to lack a function. Lacks a function untill Jets are added. |

I dropped my crystal ball, it's stuck on a loop now of my future self throwing a playstation controller, what looks like some future version of one anyway, at the holo suite. Is future me raging at future drop ships still being broken? I can't tell, but it seems likely.
