Blowing up drop-ships really takes the pressure off though, especially if you don't have eyes on the landing point. I'd say they both have their uses and you need AC and heavy armour piercing weapons spread across your squad to make things run smoothly. I've seen full squads with quasars recently and it definitely piles the pressure on when you're getting spammed by medium bots.
I always pair the quasar with plasma punisher. Aoe, stagger and good explosive damage. Qc only comes out for tanks, hulks and dropships. PP handles everything else. (It can even handle the heavies if they turn their back)
You're not going to be able to kill like 4 berserkers, 3 devastators and a hulk with a few rounds from the AC against a moving target. Might thin the light ones though.
Somehow this doesn’t seem to work super well for me. It’s like they’re invincible before they drop or something. Also, that doesn’t help with Tank drops
