What does this setting do?

The dropship attacks from the air, and there is hardly any cover against that — roofs and trees only help so much. This value therefore bites harder than comparable ground-based damage multipliers.

At high values every dropship appearance becomes a reason to leave the area immediately. That may be the intent — it makes bunker alarms serious events. On beginner-friendly servers a low value removes the arbitrariness without making the dropship harmless.

Which value suits my server?

Relaxed PvE

0.3 to 0.6.

Classic PvP

1.0.

Hardcore

1.0 to 1.5.

What to watch out for

There is hardly any cover from air attacks

Unlike ground enemies, you cannot hide effectively. High values therefore mean: whoever is not gone on arrival dies.
