While this will not always be followed, it will at least give organized groups and dropship TS groups a starting place when doing the full 8v8 drops and give a higher probability of balanced drops as opposed to seeing 8 Jenners vs 8 Atlas.
To keep it simple I would recommend that the first drop of the week be a 2222.
The standard drop format is Assault, Heavy, Medium, Light (AHML).
Subsequent weeks the drop would be changed on Tuesday following a new patch and the order would go something like this:
Week 1: 2222
Week 2: 1331
Week 3: 2321
Week 4: 1133
Week 5: 3221
Another option would be to do a drop based on total tonnage and again operating off of the honor system. So for Week 1 it could be 550 tons, allowing Team 1 to have 4 Jenners (140 t) and 4 Atlas (400 t) and Team 2 fielding 2 Ravens (70 t), 2 Hunchbacks (100 t), a Catapult and a Cataphract (135 t), and 2 Atlas (200 t). Clearly just an example, but the variability would be even better.
As with the previous drop format, it would change each week.
I admit, perhaps this is a crazy notion and this isn't something that people want at all, but I know our group at the very least will be following a relatively organized drop structure, and I can only imagine other groups will be as well. I see this is a way to help level the playing field for all involved in the 8v8 matchups.
