Well its probably a hard counter for the bomber dropship that supposedly drops dozens of heavies packed with AV. |

This whole "bomber dropship" is pure speculation, then again so is the AA-HAV. And a logi ship can already drop 6 heavies with AV's as long as you have a dedicated squad of AV's that love to ride passenger in a dropship. |

Why anyone would bother with the Logi dropship when Assault dropships can carry 4 people is beyond me. The MCRU is a liability in pretty much anything but PC, and any kind of dropship other than a fully kitted Assault in PC is a liability. The ADS is a liability too, but some of the better corps have the ISK to burn, so why not. |

When dropships will allow people to shoot out of them. Imagine dropships with commandos armed with proto swarm launchers and either mass drivers, or plasma cannons, or other splash damage.
They are about to become the gunboats they were meant to be. |

I see no destroyers.
That aside, I don't think they'd add an AA role unless there was a threat big enough to require AA (bombers?). |

No they aren't, because that won't happen. Fox Four even decided to troll the thread trolling about us getting it.

My guess... Pilot Suits+AAHAV=Fighters and bigger maps are in the near future. That's just my speculation.... |

Well we know that bombers will be released, unless they have a sudden change of heart. And we know that destroyers are coming in too unfortunatly. I'm saddened that they are giving the red lining sniper tanks an even better way to kill dropships. they are annoying enough without better tracking speed..... I would imagine that the bomber variant of the dropship would be the dropships destroyer class. Probably anti vehicle in nature, but like the forge gun can also be used to great effect on infantry. The question is what will be complained about more. Bombers or AA. And since we are getting destroyers in this rapid fire update spree, I feel ill be loosing a lot of isk in the near future. In my opinion when they add destroyers they need to remove the red line. AA railgun sniper tank sitting in the red line??? This is one tactic I just can't abide, anyone who does this is spineless, CCP remove the red tape and let me feed my python. |

Bomber
Dropship.
I will never, ever, wrap my head around that.
If you want a ******* bomber, quit being cheap and actually develop one. We don't need more garbage variants for the dropships, we need dropships to WORK |

AA-HAVs can be used to reverse the high-ground-advantage. Damn those tankers sniping in the mountains. |

The ADS is a liability too, but some of the better corps have the ISK to burn, so why not. Nevermind the nightmare of trying to get comms set as a Dropship pilot in PC. I commend anyone who's come up with a reliable system, CCP needs to make it so anyone in your ship is instantly put on your comms. When they hop out, they're removed (if they had you muted previously)
I think you just came up with that reliable system. Seems pretty failsafe.
That is all. Eriknaught out. END TRANSMISSION. |

Because taking out drop ships with a rail gun was too hard?
Or are Dropships going to become flying tanks? If flying LLAVs, yes. MOAR AA BATTERIES |
