When you can't even suppress two MLT LAVs simultaneously , then there is a problem.
And that's actually what SLs are supposed to be used for nowadays. Polishing vehicles.

Btw, a lot of weapon variants are really useless. Ex: breach mass driver, breach ar, breach smg and so on...
Yes, it locks on two targets at the same time.
Breach MD isn't completely useless. A direct hit w prof IV or a Complex Damage mod can 1-2 hit most suits.
I don't use Breach SMGs, so I can't really comment on that either.

I thought the assault swarm would shot six and six at the two targets. Imagine my sadness when it sent three and three at two targets. If WP was damage based on vehicles, maybe they would be ok, maybe.
Well if it shot six swarms at both targets, that would be OP.
WP damage for vehicles has been confirmed for 1.8

"*I get hit by swarms* Hm... yeah, shields were taken down by a few hun- Oh, wait, they're back again. Yep, everything seems to be in order."
I guess that means they are "working as intended".

At least the Plasma Cannon works on Infantry.
Assault Swarm Launcher on the other hand....

Hobo on Fire wrote:Regular proto swarms are the only ones still effective against anything; splitting your fire between two targets just makes them even more ineffectual. The suppression argument was valid when they had 400 meter lock on range, but now that swarms are effectively a short to mid range AV weapon, they can't even be used for that.
They should change the effect somehow; I don't think swarms will be getting their range back anytime soon, but perhaps giving assault swarms extra damage for reduced rate of fire(high alpha damage to make them a threat to HAVs), or less damage but a larger clip (suppressive weapon against dropships/LAVs ) would make them a viable option.
I agree.
However I don't think an Assault variant should be a slow locking weapon with a higher damage output. That would be best suited on a Breach Swarm Launcher variant.

If you've been here long enough to when the SL worked on infantry, you'll remember why it never will again and why the PLC is the way it is.
Not really sure why people don't want dumbfire swarms back.
I mean, seriously. You can already be b*tchslapped with 1k HP of damage from a Forge Gun and Plasma Cannon.
So why not a Swarm Launcher?
