So dropships are medium expensive paper weight, still hasent been fixed.
SOON we Will have 'fighter' crafts (cheap assult dropships) wich Will be' nice
But as i recently discovered the 'bomber' that were getting is just an expensive paper weight with bombs

Gunships.
EHP of a tank, lower speed than a std dropship, can't fly very high but can fit 6 small turrets (3 each side) and one large or medium turret up front. |

Thats what vehicle pilots were expecting I believe, to be nice and safe inside their toy
Sadly for them weapons technology usually outpaces armor and in the real world we have had man portable AV for decades and its only gotten better and better |

Heavy aircraft already sound pointless. In order to be slower and less responsive (heavier) than dropships, CCP would need to armor plate a hot air balloon. |

Anyone who expects fast flying aircraft to be in the heavy class with more eHp than a dropship are going to be sorely disappointing. |

CCP has never even indirectly stated what their plans for Heavy Air Vehicles looks like.
We have LAV, HAV, dropship (light land, heavy land, medium air)
We've seen models for MAV, Speeders, Jets (Medium land, light land, light air)
That leaves one single vehicle category completely enshrouded by mystery. The Heavy Air Vehicle.
Obviously CCP hasn't even got concept art for it yet, let alone any idea how they want it to work.
Which is sad because this is going to be one of the more interesting vehicles in the game I think. I hope they say something about it in my lifetime or show us a preview of what to expect.

I think forge gunners would welcome new targets.

Fixed wing aircraft generally are. I guess dropships could race with old biplanes. It is highly unlikely CCP is going to release fixed wing aircraft slower than Dropships. Anything is possible but my opinion of the Devs is higher than that. |

I thought RDVs were Heavy ships. Hell, they're super tanky as well: taking out DSs, HAVs, LAVs, and other RDVs like it was nobody's business. |

if you scroll up, you will see that i DO welcome new targets, more stuff to swat out of the sky means more WP/ISK/SP per match for me and others like me |

This is my prediction/assumption for the aircraft:
Light = Jetbike
Medium = Dropships
Heavy = Fighter( Only because when they showed them at fanfest, they were scaled to the size of a HAV) |

I don't see the problem with a "Flying tank" Or heavily armored gunship.
The secret advantage of Tanks and LAV's right now over dropships (other than DS being paper) is the Fact that they are on the ground. Or rather, they are constantly LOS and have many obstacles to move around or behind in order to rep up or hide from Forge Guns and swarms.
In the air there is no cover.
Imagine a HAV as it is now, except flying in the air and fairly slow. The thing would almost be a joke, it'd be so easy to kill.
Any AV on the map could target it from anywhere and if it got close to the ground it might die from collision impacts or flip over. Or get stuck as it's landing gear glues it to one spot for being too too low. Such a tank would be demolished in moments.
So what is the problem with a heavy aircraft vehicle again? |

The thing is its a HEAVY. Look at heavy suits we only have one. Anything with heavy is done LAST. Its sad but true  |

You might be onto something.
Seriously. Give heavies some more interesting weapons than the jack-of-all-trades forge gun so that if it gets nerfed they won't QQ about how CCP hates their frames. |

All those guns would take so much PG/CPU and all the offense in the world won't save it from the fact that it's a slow moving vehicle in the air where everything can fire at it and it has no cover. Nor the range to counter so.
I agree 6 turrets is silly but the point is Heavy Aircraft in general is nothing to be apprehensive about |
