OH MY GOD A DIRTY VEHICLE SCUM WANTS AV BUFFED?!
Yes, actually, I do. For a guided missile weapon, the Swarm Launcher has pathetically slow missiles.
To clarify, its prior ability to do thousands of damage without the user even having to aim was completely broken, but now that its damage has been brought into better balance the slow-as-dog-**** flight speed of its missiles has become far more evident. There are quite a few baseball pitchers that can THROW faster than the Swarms in this game.
I realize that the broken Militia Nitrous injector is the primary cause of difficulty in hitting HAVs with Swarms, for example, but they should really be fast enough to make that less of an issue in the first place.

Uh, I'm not.
I'm well aware of the bug, but the fact remains that even without it and even if our vehicles had a third the speed they do now, those missiles would still be flying stupidly slow.
If it wasn't clear from my OP, I'm a pilot. Dropships. AV is the bane of my existence, but I still think I shouldn't be able to just tap an afterburner and leave them all behind me.

It is not only a problem with the Bug even in 1.6 a well fitted LAV could outrun swarms i would accept that for a DS but a LAV?
Precisely my point! Good example.
