The difference between drones and venoms is simple. Drones lose significant damage pretty fast as you start knocking them out of the sky. Venom loses no damage after being damaged. Drones are a nuisance but are easily dispatched by rocket or laser troops.
There are always things to be adjusted in the game but what I see right now is pretty balanced. I think talons should get their health back up. Jumpjet troops should see a health reduction or maybe a speed reduction when they start taking damage.
Air units should also see slight damage from ground explosions that come from artillary and juggernauts. I guess you could call it splash damage.
All in all EA is doing an amazing job responding to our feedback and trying to balance the game out as best as possible.
The Drone has a lot more hit points and do more damage, it losing power over time from damage and being 10 points to deploy vs the Venoms 30 is not balanced, its still very much in the GDI favor, and if they feel like it, it is much easier to replace than the Venom is.
