Yeah we know swarms do not apply all of their damage. This was something I was only alerted to in the last few weeks.
I hope they fix this.
EDIT- I dont want to "Gang" up anyone's ass.

So what did we lie about, exactly?
Yep, swarms are still broken.
Now the only way for you to compensate for that is to...
gang up.

So OP is mad because he has to work as a team in a game that places you on a team by default and forces you to fight an opposing team in every game mode? Did I get that right?

Its not that it is offensive, its that if one side has to gang up to defeat one person. That is, by definition, unbalanced. He is also saying that even if you do gang up on a tank with swarm launchers it still doesn't work.
Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.

hmmmm if me and another hmg heavy was able to take down that hardened incubus that one dom i had.. HOW DAFUQ ARE SWARMS UNABLE TO DO THE SAME DAMN THING!!!!!!!!! oh thats right... the dropship was flying close to us while we were shooting it with our hmgs... drained its hp pretty fast.. and plus.. the dropships hardeners were active when it was getting hit by swarms. no wonder it didnt die too a few volleys of missiles. since a swarm does very little when their is a 40% resist there. un hardened im expecting that dropship to go down easily. unless the pilot runs away at the slightest sign of damage. |

Yeah, because clearly every single tanker is in cahoots trying to keep this a secret. Yep, that's it, we're all lying about Swarm Launchers. Since you managed to figure out this huge secret that only the great tankers of Dust 514 know of, the Illuminatanki is going to have to put you on the assassination list.

You guys missed the point that even ganging up does not work if you are using swarms. The shields will regenerate faster than 3 proto swarm launchers can damage them. Just watch the video, it's all in there.

You do realise realistically shield would have no regen delay and a slow constant passive rep. Thats the purpose of Passive tanked ships in EVE as I understood them when I use my Drake and Caracal to grind out PVE missions.

thats where av nades would come in.
you use them for supplemental damage to take out the shields the 3rd will take out the last of the somas shields and should hit for around 500 armor damage. as the av nades do bonus damage to armor. damage per volley is however higher than av nade damage. thus using the nades first increases total over all damage to the tank. allowing u to kill with less over all ammo used. and faster. im sure a reload is bound to be required with mlt and std level swarms though. but that only ups the skill needed to take one down solo. with adv swarms it can be done with 3 std av nades and one clip. all on a cheap default mlt fit.
if tank has hardeners more than likely the attempt will fail if he activates them and runs off. though most tanks ive killed this way either try to run away and fail. or the driver will jump out. thats when i switch to smg and kill him that way.

HERE IS PROOF THAT TANKERS HAVE BEEN LYING ABOUT SWARMS. YOU NEED TO GANG UP MY ASS this is news to tankers as much as it is to AV specialists. we weren't lying at any point though you do need to gang up on tanks "cause swarms are busted as ****" is apparently the bit that we were missing.
tankers are gamers too, they want broken mechanics exactly as much as you do (not at all). I have a blaster gunnlogi that has been collecting dust because tanking isn't fun anymore. balance is fun imbalance isn't.

HERE IS PROOF THAT TANKERS HAVE BEEN LYING ABOUT SWARMS. YOU NEED TO GANG UP MY ASS I dont have the equipment to record proof but I can agree that swarms on dropships are broken as far as tanks go double hardeners are necessary gunnlogis can fit 3x damage mods and proto large railguns and it is extremely op. If you know there is a double hardened tank on the field why are you still trying to use swarms when there are other forms of Av. You may say its not fair that you should have to spec into other fits but it's what I have to do. I have proto rails missiles and blasters and all of my vehicle upgrades are maxed. I know that I will have to adapt to changes on the field. With 1.8 releasing there should be no more excuses every class will have a heavy and every class will have a commando. Proto breach forge gun does more damage than a proto large railgun as for swarms and with a commando you will have the ability to apply damage at a faster rate against tanks it is very beneficial. Spec into lavs and commando get your grenades explosives and light av weapons ready. Yesterday I went 15 and 5 with proximity explosives thats right proximity explosives. Me and another squad member just put our explosives in areas of high traffic and watched the fireworks. To me this video shows that dropships are broken when it comes to using swarms but tanks I really can't say the are entirely useless most people are double hardening tanks because of 2 things assault dropships are op and other tanks are on the field. My opinion may seem bias to you but I am an Aver myself I have demolition lvl 5 and advanced swarms I've not yet leveled up my grenades. I have been pretty successful on my own I'm pretty convinced by this video that the only real issue here is dropships along with yourself or other players not expanding their arsenal. |

looks like CCP wont have to balance much(if they choose right) since it's just hardeners that are the problem.
it's either: NERF hardeners or Buff all AV

In the OP's defense, Takahiro Kashuken (or however you spell it, I still call him by his closed beta name: English Snake) and that other tanker who's always backing him up in his threads (can never recall his name....) have been doing just that since 1.7 hit. Also saying that swarms are perfect as are and should be as bad as they are because, and I'm paraphrasing, "1 it's a light AV weapon, and 2 vehicles have shield resistances"

Ok so we're now onto saying that everything should be "balanced" so that one guy with a swarm launcher should be able to take out any vehicle alone.
So you're saying that a maybe 200k isk fit should be able to destroy an easy 500k isk vehicle every time.. But what you're really saying if eff you guys that fly dropships. You guys should have to pay more to be less effective then me because I don't like getting beat by someone who is willing to risk more isk than I am.

Yeah... Right.... on the contrary AV suits are now more expensive or equally expensive to Tanks. As to Assault dropships its in my humble opinion that is should get a price reduction but the only real reason for the expenses being so high is that if handle properly it can be a tide changer but current rail tanks prevent the dropship to reach full potential instead of being a counter. SO risk vs reward does not add up currently when you place it into perspective of isk more importantly though it more than just ISK when it comes to risk vs reward you need to account the risk of death which is ultimately the factor whether you lose isk or not. So the 300 ISK tank is less likely to die and be destroyed than a 300 isk prototype maxed out suit for anti vehicle control. SO with a more death risk for AV the more likely your going to lose more isk than the tanker given the multitude of death possibilities which tankers are not affected by (such as infantry battles). |

And person accusing 1000 tankers of lieing to them that video was mostly about how they do even less damage to ds and by spreading this video i am sure the last 20 people who didnt know will skills into ads. Im not saying they will be any good however because it does require skill and isk to get kills.
