[edit] Description
Advanced propulsion units allow the craft to create a dramatic lift allowing them to be better armored than the Human equivalent aircraft. Dropships are tasked with bringing in new Chimeran troops into battle through the use of external transport containers.
Each transport is capable of holding multiple Chimeran squads to ensure maximum tactical flexibility. These containers can also be dropped from low altitude directly into the combat zone for a speedy delivery of troops.
[edit] Appearance
[edit] Resistance: Fall of Man
In Resistance: Fall of Man, dropships are seen the most in dispatching Chimera reinforcements at pivotal parts of the game, such as in Manchester where British forces were procuring a captured Angel.
[edit] Resistance 2
They reappear in Resistance 2, and are mostly appear in the Co-op campaign. The ships can be possibly seen among the Chimeran fleet. Unlike in the first game, the dropships are radically redesigned and are seen without their transport containers.
[edit] Resistance Retribution
In Resistance Retribution, the dropships is never seen to drop off units, but rather they, for the first time, attack the player in which the player must destroy the vessels.
[edit] Tactic
[edit] Resistance Retribution
In Resistance Retribution Dropships can be destroyed easily with a LAARK. But if you have an Auger-FS, it's shield can be used to reflecting a Dropship's missiles, and allowing its projectiles to destroy the vessel in less than a minute.
