The weapon functions almost the same, except its more reliable when trying to lock on and we now have only 3 rounds instead of 5.
Also, they may have increased the reload time. Except it shoots twice as fast
For half as long. Then takes longer to reload. Which happens twice as often. |

LOL you took that literally.
And 3 swarm shots will hit pretty hard, but only if they hit, and against good LAV drivers or Dropship pilots, they usually don't. speed-tanked LAVs can run faster than the Swarms give chase, and so can most Dropships. If they put a wall between themselves and the missiles, guess who doesn't die?
Tanks can't dodge that easily, so it's reasonable for them to have that extra survivability, and my 200,000 ISK Sica has been able to march through a full clip of an Advanced Swarm Launcher and kill the guy while he was reloading.
So in my eyes right now, it's working as intended (at least for the most part - not saying it's perfect, but it's not bad). |

No-one uses speed tank LAVs, except that about half the LAVs I've seen in 1.4 so far have been able to outrun my Swarms for long enough to take cover.
And the Dropships I usually ride in avoid the second hit more often than they take it, and if we DO take a second volley, we land and repair up before returning to battle. |
