I went into a Ambush OMS yesterday and about a minute in I died instantly by an incubas, now at first I did not know what it was because I don't ever get killed by dropships and don't use them, I thought it may have just been luck and then it continued to kill me 3 more times during the game, I didn't know whether to feel honored to be killed by an actually good pilot and his gunner or annoyed, but I give props to them, the gunner ended up goin 21-0. My buddy was using proto swarm launcher on it and the incubas pilot was able to boost away everytime, now if I would have had my forgegun from the last build this may have turned out differently but I have now seen that dropships have good potential. |

I believe know what you're speaking of the pilot is the gunner, using the turret on the front so those kills are all his.
Edit:when I say that I mean I know whom you speak of, can't remember a name though |

by this i mean things like
armor/shield adaption
repair/boosters
turret op
hybrid/missile turret op
plates/extenders
afterburners/turbines
and last but not least the assault dropship skill its self with a 1% bonus to shield/armor resistance mods and 2% turret damage per level
get these skills to level 5 each and you no cakewalk to shoot down. |

Wait, people actually maxed out the ADS skill? Why? That's about 2-3 million sp that can go on other skills. |

But how many millions of sp does it take to get there compared with a shield tank proto logi?

to both gbghg and leafblades im not sure how much skill points it takes to do this, i haven't done this mayself what im saying is based on the numbers you would be hard to take down (based on your flying) but only if you saw fit to throw up those skill points im not sure if anyones been crazy enough to fully spec into the assault dropship skill i only have mine lvl 1 due to holding off until we get amarr/minmatar ships |

I have both ADS skills at lv1 right now. |

I've been seeing a lot of succesful Galente ADSing in the past few days. They took out a Madrugar I called in before I knew what hit me... I spent the rest of the match trying to take out the ADS with ADV swarms, to no avail. I believe it was a Nyain San squad kicking *** from the skies in that case, but I've come across a number of others in a short time, and I've been unable to end their reigns of terror despite my swarmiest efforts. I'm sure a coordinated squad can take them out easily enough (particularly with Forges), but it's still a big improvement in the state of dropships. |

Incubus's are better for air to ground, mainly due to their higher EHP, more precise handling (I'm serirous the incubus handles so smoothly compared to the python), and the fact that they suffer less knock back when hit, on the other hand the python just out classes them in air to air. |

Assault dropships are pretty good when you know what you're doing- and afterburners help you against all but the best AVers.
I actually had a pretty good dogfight today. I would say I had the better setup, but I was the only one in my dropship, while they had a pair of gunner shooting at me constantly, so I eventually lost my million ISK dropship.
I actually managed to take down another dropship earlier that battle- 1 shot from my prototype railgun (the damage isn't nearly as bad as how much it throws your dropship around when you get hit by it) and the ship lost control, hit a building, and exploded. |

Swarms are well balanced vs dropships, but my alts dropship cannot handle forges at all. They still need some reworking vs dropships. And dropship guns can certainly be lethal- no questions there. |

That might have been me and my turret gunner.
A lesson in why I don't get mad when people bring out AV against my Assault Dropship.
If they don't, they get turned into paste VERY QUICKLY. |
