In my experience, PDB griffin is amazing - If I want to, I can rush the enemy base and kill 2 to 4 people.

After some testing on the test servers, I found that PDBs are much more useful. If you manage to duck into cover fast enough, DBs will be dead meat - remember, their pinatas and the bulk of their orkans will be exhausted in seconds. Because of this, a PDB griffin would be extremely effective against a DB rhino as a Griffin can jump over the rhino to get around the assault mode shield (that's what rhinos do when they've exhausted their supply of rockets) and also, the Rhino will have to rotate about 180 degrees - that would take forever considering assault mode.

Assault mode takes about 2 seconds to deactivate, ample time to cut off quite a chunk of the HP bar if you include firing while in the air (add on about 1 second). Finally, they still have to reload. The Orkan's rockets don't reload that fast, so a skilled pilot can easily kill the Rhino before getting rocketed again.
