No because that requires aim where the projectile isnt invisible and doesnt bend around corners Plasma cannons have an extremely slow projectile speed (HAVs have outrun them before), fire on an arc, and are very weak in the advanced/prototype tiers, despite high fitting costs. Not to mention a common misfire glitch where the projectile doesn't deal damage. If you think we should use those instead, you're an idiot. It would make a difference from crutch swarms I defo respect those who choose a difficult weapon to wield and make the game a challenge for them and it will get buffed and i wont mind that when it happens because it requires aim to use and you dont have any so you wont be able to use it I saw one in PC yday i lol'd with happyness
A plasma cannon is never going to destroy an HAV. Even at proto, standard packed AV grenades are better. |

(granted doesnt work for invisible swarms, recall does though)
Sounds good in theory but unless every module is active you can't even run from swarms, you will die before you can escape. Also swarms can outrun vehicles and will do full damage at any range. Seriously... if its an armor tank its dead with swarms... you can't outrun almost 3000 points of damage per shot.
I've got a maxed out gunlogi, and proto swarms...
The thing i notice with most tankers when i play av, is they just wont go and take cover, they even use there modules, and still think they can sit in the open during the cooldown....
I play my tank carefully, once av starts to hit me, i'll either attempt shoot whos responseable if i can find where they are within getting hit twice, or i'll bite the bullet and just feck off to the other side of map for a couple of kills and let my modules reset, i escape swarms every day, and good tankers will evade mine, it is possible if you play carefull
I rarely go driveing accross the big open areas we have, and if i do, its usually when theres another tank out, as it takes the heat off a little. or i take a route where i know i got some cover, or sometimes you get them easy games and av seems non existant
as a av and tanker, its blatently obvoius that sitting still for too long anywhere is a BIG mistake when theres av out hunting you
do i think tanks need a little buff, yeah, but are all these tears needed, no, again, i havnt lost a tank in over 30 called down, i play solo, and have been in some pretty rough situations where av is concerned, sometimes i spend more time running away than getting kills lol which blows, also, i sent this toon 10 mil from my main to buy tanks with, i now got just over 30, so im making profit also

So...in a side random bit of 'where did that come from' Every time I see something that says, the swarms, I expect to see a horde of Zerg run in and slaughter everyone they can. When it's Proto commentary, I'm looking to hear about the Protoss owning our maps and giving us what for.... Yeah......
Anyway, Guys who run swarm launchers are notoriously twitchy, especially if they run some hardcore launchers. My poor tanker lost a few tanks in very short order due to those twitchy folk |
