1. Make it less dangerous at long distance but not harmless. It shouldn't detect and try to attack players farther than 100-150 meters away unless they attack it first. Its attacks should be more accurate at close range, bordering on instant guaranteed death when you're right underneath it, but at long ranges they should be potshots with scant chance of hitting unless you're standing still (so if you're using an AT Emplacement or stationary reloading your Recoilless while out in the open, you should get punished like the idiot you are). I'm fine with explosive ragdolls, but not to the degree it was before where virtually every shot was guaranteed to damage or knock you down. Tracking should reset when out of line of sight, but the longer you're out in the open the more likely it'll hit you even at long range.
2. Make it harder to bring down, and more meaningful subsystems. Right now, all you need are either a team reload Recoilless or an AT Emplacement with Shield Relay, and you're virtually guaranteed a kill. I want it to have a personal shield with AV2 and 2-3 times the HP of a Harvester or Warp Ship shield, and the shield generating component on top of it with AV4. Make the rotating disc on its bottom warp down a single Warp Ship drop's worth of reinforcements if it detects players underneath, then make it AV4 so that destroying it prevents reinforcements. Make destroying the fins and tail impact its flying speed and turning speed.
3. Make it a persistent threat and reward destroying it. Don't let it despawn and be replaced by a new one, have one or two persist on the battlefield until destroyed, then give it 2-5 minutes before a respawn. When you destroy it, you should get 100-200 Requisition Slips added to the mission total (same system as subtracting whenever a civilian/SEAF soldier dies, and it's affected by the end-mission multiplier).
There. Now you have a battlefield monster that takes effort to kill and can fuck you up, but is not bullshit.
