Ever tried running swarms? Yes, at the moment tanks and dropships are rubbish so easy to kill but LAVs, especially the logi ones are ridiculous. And then have you ever tried protecting yourself against infantry when running swarms? Oh no, that's right, they can't be used against infantry! Swarms are the only handheld weapon in the game that can absolutely not be used against infantry at all, so you're sacrificing all your people killing ability to take out one tank or a couple of LAVs. And it's not like there's an abundance of supply depots on the maps anymore, so you can't just switch in and out at will.

When they fix tanks and dropships there won't be so much an issue with swarms but none of the mechanics need any adjustments (apart from the acknowledged invisible swarms bug).

Heaven forbid you should specialize! Why, it's not fair that you can't carry both swarms and.... oh, wait! That's right! The commando suit lets you carry swarms and an AR! You got that anyway!

The commando suit is almost as broken as tanks. Don't get me wrong, vehicles need a lot of work but swarms are not as broken as their detractors are making out.

Amen, you ever use a swarm launcher? They're far from skill intensive but they still require competence to be a threat, the damage at proto may need a look at and invisible swarms need to be fixed but what your suggesting would be to nerf them into the ground. Sir, I went full proto Swarm Launchers. I even went Proto Minmatar Assault just to get more Ammo for My proto SMG, so I could use my Swarm Launcher class in every situation. I am dedicated AV.

Stop trying to use reason against tankers, it is lost on them (most of them).
