Tbh, I think the clip size is fine. I like the idea of a shoulder mounted "rocket" weapon in the game. It does, however suffer from a lack of a benefit, so here's what I'd do:
Swap swarm launcher damage with plasma cannon damage. The swarm launcher is in every way superior to the cannon - clip size, damage, range, and accuracy. I think that the plasma cannon should reward proper placement by being a burst damage close range rocket, while the benefit of swarms should remain the lock-on feature, at the cost of a lower damage. |

This.
My post earlier suggested that we swap the current swarm launcher damage at all levels (all rockets combined) with the plasma cannon. This would turn it into a close range dumbfire alpha weapon, while the swarms would keep the benefits of long range and tracking. |

Say goodbye MD spam and say hello to plasma cannon spam Doing that would introduce a weapon that would one shot every single person on foot without the drawback of poor speed that the heavies and forge gun deal with and encourage people to sit in safe places sniping all day and make certain objectives within installations virtually untakeable
Who says that the splash has to be huge? To make it fit the role of AV you could completely remove splash and make it a direct hit weapon, or reduce the splash so that it becomes ineffective as an anti-infantry weapon unless it's skillfully used. |
