Swarms also have greater damage potential, fly faster and straighter and lock onto vehicles, not parity.
Also, both SMGs and Scrambler Pistols are pretty deadly when used right. |

You're point?

Scissors.
Rock beats scissors, but scissors beats paper (or in this case tanks) - deal with it, it's the sacrifice you make in order to be able to take out vehicles. |

Also, both SMGs and Scrambler Pistols are pretty deadly when used right. PROTO swarm does only 20 points of damage more than STANDARD plasma cannon when shield resistance is factored in. (Not including the PC bonus to shields) So damage potential is in favor of PC. Swarms flying straight isn't a plus exactly. Besides, with this lock on range, I'd rather dumb fire them and actually aim versus getting into lock range. Never said any side arms weren't capable of killing, just that swarms don't fit as a weapon. Since they technically don't kill like all the other primary/secondary weapons.
Well of course swarms are bad against shields, that the whole point of explosives.
MY point was that swarms are usually the better AV weapon and, if they were dumbfire, the better AI weapon when compared to the PC - and you actually proved my point, best case PC is about the same as worst case swarms. Plus swarms are easier to use.
Any way, each has it's role;
The PC is an alright AV weapon and an alright AI weapon, jack of all trades but master of none if you will - Swarms are a good AV weapon but can't take out infantry.
Play smarter next time, if as an AV specialist you're face to face with an AR without back up - you screwed up. Don't go asking for a totally ridiculous role change / buff to cover for your mistakes. Alternatively, use a weapon that can deal with infantry as well but sacrifice some AV capabilities. |
