I've killed 2 madrugers and 1 gunlogi in a single match with a Python once, it was awesome!
So you're telling me you had 6 ADS? Man I wish I was in that match. I've been on both ends of a match where just one ADS may not be doing much but is just pesky enough to force some of the other team into AV fits, can only imagine the impact with 6. So much of the other team not paying attention and looking in the sky. |

Yeah 70% of them were on AV
The only real problem was the insane manuvering we had to do , to avoid crashing against eachother. it was the manus "peak" ambush map, so it was small. We needed to avoid incoming RDVs too |

I remember when a corpmate and I took out a Bolas with our two Pythons.
It was amazing 
Then a few minutes later another one comes in and knocks me to the ground  |

i think ambush is the easiest gamemode for dropships, because of the lack of Supply Depots,
the enmy cant change fits without dieing, and if the spawn with AV the infantry kills them |

ADS dogfights as so much fun, I want it to become a mode all by itself.
Can't wait for gas planets and other planets with huge ravines that make dropships necessary for traversal. |

That said I never call in a vehicle during Ambush.

They are, but they can be rather... Ineffectual at times. Lots of shooting, the floating, then healing, then shooting again. Unless someone gets a decisive advantage the fights never end. |

Yeah, I had a Dogfight versus another pilot that went on for ages, eventually, we both got fed up and decided to leave each other alone and go for the infantry.  |

or a Mlt Dropships crashes with us
also having gunners makes it quicker |

Would have loved to join that but my Incubus would be at a slight disadvantage compared to your Pythons

i personally think, that incubus are waaaaay better than pythons
i have the skills to fly both and i always, always get shot down with my Python, while i can sirvive 5 or 6 games in a row with 1 incubus
the good thing about the incubus, is that you have a lot of PG +1
maybe not much CPU but there are skills to fix that
You can fit afterburners without loosing tanking,
Armor reps work better, than shield reps
Armor hardeners are awesome
My current fit is done for Speed Tanking, best tanking for Dropships
i have:
Afterburner
Ward Shield Booster (the best one)
Efficent Armor Reps (the best one)
Carpace armor hardener (the best one) 25%
15% passive hardener
Jovian PowerPlant
2 STD Missile Turrets
1 Proto Accelerated Missiel
and over 70 PG Left, meaning that i can fit high tier blasters for me or my gunners
The beauty of this fit, is that i can get into hot zones with my armor hardener active and i have about 35% ressistence in my armor, meaning that not even and officer FG can 1shot me
As soon as i loose my shield, i activate my afterburners and manuever out of there and activate all my modules, after 20 secs i can return to the fight
If im fighting infantry without AV i dont need the Hardener On at all times so i can just have my shield booster On just in case there are any HMGs out there
If you use this fit against me, i will find you, and i will kill you |

My alt has Pythons (I'm waiting on Amarr dropships), I have not tried an Incubus before but think I would like it better on the simple fact that it armor tanks. If you are going to fit a Python competitively, you cannot waste a slot on an armor repairer. What ends up happening then is on the few occasions when the enemy begins chipping away at your armor and it gets to the point that it starts to burn you have to quickly land and take out your repair tool. If you are armor tanking if your shields go out it's not going to kill you and they go back by themselves. |

Eternal, as someone who flies both whenever I can, I have to agree. I utterly love my python but its best against other dropships, the incubus on the other hand really shines at air to ground. There's a speed fit for it in the training ground, 3x jovians, 1x light armour rep, 1x afterburner, and either s shield extender or MCRU. thing is ridiculously fast when it wants to be. |

yep ive seen it, but i dont want to sacrifice my little ammount of tanking for speed
with that fit you are really fast, but if you stop one sec to kill infantry and theres a forge gunners that you didnt see, you are more than dead,
that fit is really good for hit and run in open spaces, mine is more an overall fit
what would a good A-A fit be, for a python? |

yeah and as a dropship pilot, you cant return to a battle without full health,
my waiting time is short because i use shield boosters and armor reps
this also helps me deny more incomming damage, what is good |

The general fit I run for a python has to contain at least 3things
A missile turret, proto is best
A shield extender, the tank is needed in all situations
A shield booster, not as useful against ground fire, but very useful in a dogfight, buys you time
An afterburner is optional but I tend to include them for their all round usefulness
My current python fit which strikes a good balance between air and ground operations (well for me at least) is
1x XT accelerated missiles
2x ST cycled missiles
1x afterburner
1x light converse shield booster
1x ward shield amp
1x aziotropic extender
1x Jovian power plant
1x local PG expansion unit.
The shield booster is a must, they're worth wore than a second extender in a dogfight. |
