Fire and watch it smash into the nearest solid object i seen it turn 5 corners and still hit. so yea. 90degree or greater turns counts as corner turn for me if you want to know.

Fire and watch it smash into the nearest solid object I haven't until recently. Basically it looks like at a certain proximity to the target the missiles lose their normal arc and make a tight turn towards a target if it's moving. Seems to only happen if the target moves behind cover right before the missile hits. Too soon and they collide with the cover as expected. Too late and they hit as normal. They pretty much have to just miss the obstruction. Following an initial short burst in the direction the launcher is aimed. Swarms travel at a constant velocity vectored in a straight line toward the location of the Tank as it is tracked. There is nothing mysterious about this and the mechanics aren't even wonky. If you guys want to get into 'realism' of 'turning corners'... do you guys know how many Gs a ******* modern air-to-air missile can pull? Swarms are relatively slow TBQH. i dont care how many g's a modern missile can pull, it is still impossible to do an instant 180 degree turn without any speed bleeding whatsoever. i lol at the guys saying they have never seen wonky swarm behavior....you must be playing with your eyes closed i love how they jump in speed when they get where you used to be at and do insane turns to follow your ghost. the DS is the weirdest ones where there do 3-8 circles around your ship at 10 their normal speed.

You obviously don't use anything else. Lawl anyone that has ran into me would know that the MD is my least favorite weapon I have access to. so your reason for the mass driver QQ. blame IWS for all nerf MD threads, he admitted.

But to everybody saying that swarms to NOT go around corners, I don't know what you guys are seeing when you fire them off, but I can assure you that they do in fact go around corners. While I have not seen the 180 degree turns sense chromosome, I still see the 90 degree turns all of the time. Sucks when you think you got away with your tank just barely alive then that swarm you thought you evaded takes a sharp right and slams into you. Shudders they don't watch them... fire and forget thing.
