I don't know the ranges off hand, but I can say the new lock-on range is going to do wonders to encourage new dropship to dropship combat. If your AV guys on the ground can't take out a pesky mobile spawn platform then you have to take to the skies with your gunnerbros to push him away.

If your AV guys on the ground can't take out a pesky mobile spawn platform then you have to take to the skies with your gunnerbros to push him away. But Jadek, shooting one dropship with another dropship is an exercise in tooth pulling and dastardly aim mechanics. It's easier just to strike a derpship at ramming speed.
Tell me how far that'll get you Mr. Pirate. I do agree it takes a lot of finesse and gunner to pilot communication in order to get your placements steady. We need more of that kind of interaction.
I just like to think of the jolly times ahead.

But wait, if you call within the next 30 seconds we'll throw in a complimentary LAV RDV dropoff at little to no extra cost. Perfect for those 'trollrific' times when an Assault dropship is accosting you on the ground and you need a way to instakill him without any AV weaponry of your own. Bound to cause 100,000 impact damage with a single cloaked broadside strike. You'll live to fight another battle and receive hate mail for the next few months.

later, swarms will go about 400 meters, but lock to 175.
people seem to be getting confused about lock distance and actual distance the things can go. basically, they'll never miss again, ever.
Yeah, I never really thought about it that way. You'll never miss, but you have to be in a pretty darn good spot with a few other AV buddies to take down a ship. The only time you'll ever be in serious danger is if you're going to pick up bros from a hotzone.
