upgrade the swam launchers to a heavy weapon it would reduce the amount of people running around the battle with a lock on weapon, and most would have to switch to the plasma cannon instead of investing in a entirely new suit this would help with the drop ships as well.
hope you all consider my solution thank you.
Right...because the plasma cannon is sooooo effective against tanks...right?  As a swarm launcher you're already penalised by being a lot less effective against infantry (at least a forge gun can still kill infantry!). Making AV even less accessible is nonsense. Grenades being resupplied only at Supply depots would counteract the new double DPS of swarms.
Both grenades and swarms are fine...as a tanker, get some infantry to deal with the AV guys! In real life tanks have infantry support too... |

So a 60,000 ISK Swarm Launcher shouldn't be able to single handedly take down a tank.
Tanks are expensive, and are supposed to be a nightmare on the battlefield(if used properly). It's a team shooters, so people should team up on the tank.
4-5 guys trying to take out a tank sounds fair actually.
damn, I wish my tanks were 400k.
I don't go lower than 700k, and usually 1M+. It's a pain in the arse when I lose one. |

such comments is proof that people have absotuly no clue or simply lack the skill. tank is a zoning tool and force multiplier, not a one man invincible killing machine. you are paying to being immune to the majority of weapons, huge range and damage not to be invincible. yes, it is a team game, this means a tank needs support from his team, not the other way around.
4-5 guys stopping a tank is not fair and I suggest that you leave tanks in the garage if you actually expect this because this is never going to happen. it would create artificial number advantage the moment a tank shows up and it would over time change the game into tanks 514. dont discuss about tank balance if you dont understand this because you only insult your own intelligence with such comments. world of tanks is that way => |

Not all updates are popular but if it helps improve the game then they can be good. think about it where would battlefield three be if they didn't fix the usas 12/frag rounds? |

Why do tankers ALWAYS forget that you can't just run a swarm launcher and win like that. My good AV suit cost me 100k a suit (My best one is 160k) and you guys can kill me 5x faster then I can kill you. |

By this argument, it shouldn't be possible for someone to kill my protosuit with standard weaponry.
A team shooter does not mean that it should take 4-5 people to 'try' to take out your solo tank. If there were a squad of tankers spider-tanking, then certainly that would be much more reasonable. Whining that your solo machine isn't nigh on invincible is ridiculous - Price alone doesn't justify an entire squad to take out you alone.
If I bring flux grenades and a scrambler rifle (all standard gear) which costs peanuts, in order to kill a prototype shield tanker who has a 200k suit, should I be completely unable to kill him unless I bring at least three other people with me? |

so your comparing a tank vs a person in a assault suite to a standard assault rifle vs a assault proto suite.... not a good comparison. |
