The droppod is actually very reminiscent of a fairly recent game (past 2-3 years I think) called Section 8.
In it you came into the battlefield in a drop pod. But the drop pod was a real world interactable thing. AA could actually shoot you out of the air and kill you before you even landed.
The cool thing was that you could in fact guide the drop pod. You could choose to land in a "green" zone which was a safe drop point devoid of any enemy AA. Or you could choose to try a more dangerous approach by drop podding directly onto an enemy base. This was a highly risky maneuver as their AA would usually auto target you and blow your ass out of the sky. But if you had enough friendlies dropping in you could make it past the AA flak cover and assault the base directly.
It was an incredibly fun mechanic that I personally really enjoyed.
