DUST Search - Tanks, swarm launchers, and my Anti-Armor [Starter Fit]

First ever post, and in the interest of full disclosure, let me say I am still a relatively new player to Dust with less than a month in. I am terrible. I suck at aiming, run right into firefights, and am still struggling to learn the nuances of the game. I'm that guy you have all been killing.

I have been following the forums to try and improve and like most of you are frustrated with tanks as I always play infantry. Lately, in Ambush, I have been exclusively using my free AV starter fit and doing nothing but trying to harass tanks and DS with my swarm launcher.. I have still yet to register a single kill with it only assisted kills but my whole point is it has felt good, empowering if you will, to force them to deal with me or even have to retreat.

I don't care about my kill ratio since I am still so bad and with the free starter fit don't care if I die though I try to pick my spots so I don't cost my team in Ambush.

Here's hoping with 1.8 and war points for vehicle damage that this might grow in popularity.

Btw, I am impressed with some of these DS pilots. It's the most difficult skill in the game.

I am enjoying the game and trying to get better.

If you would like to squad up or need a few tips check out my guide "Tips to Extend a Rookies Lifespan" or if your looking for a corp so you can get regular squads let me know or check out my recruitment thread in the corporations forums. 1+ to you. PS Look into Forge Guns and Remotes for AV :)
Everything Dies Chatelain Rapid Response Gallente Federation 597	Posted - 2014.03.22 17:35:00 - [3] - Quote Yeah, CCP really needs to look at what they've done with swarms. Are they even supposed to destroy vehicles anymore, or act as more of a harassment weapon? Either give us back our pre-1.7 damage amounts and keep the shorter range or restore the range and keep the damage nerf...but both at the same time (plus shield/armor hardeners on vehicles) = useless SP sink that no longer serves its intended function. "Trust and you'll be trusted," says the liar to the fool.

Delta 749 Kestrel Reconnaissance 2702	Posted - 2014.03.22 17:37:00 - [5] - Quote Going to tell you right now dont bother raising your swarms skill since it wont be any more effective at proto level Other than that keep on doing what your doing and think about a forge gun if you want to actually have a chance at busting tanks I'll start my own war, with hookers, and blackjack! In fact forget the war and the blackjack.

I am enjoying the game and trying to get better. You remember this feeling OK? You put this post on your bedroom wall. You read it every morning and every night. Make it your mantra, do not let K/D get you down. Sure you are weak, people may look upon you and see another new blueberry. Forgetting that way back when, we were all just randoms, trying to have some fun. Berries are meant to grow. So you do that Eruditus 920, you grow into a beautiful mercenary of New Eden. Take your beatings. Hone your skills. Then, one fateful day, you will fly from that MCC in a 100% Prototype maxed out dropsuit, prepared to reign down a holy storm on those villainous reds. On that day, you will look back at your very first post and remember why you kept playing. What it was that inspired you to drudge through the ranks of DUST, to be the best mercenary you can. Welcome to New Eden my friend. I think you will like it here.
Ivy Zalinto Bobbit's Hangmen 339	Posted - 2014.03.22 21:22:00 - [8] - Quote If you are looking for a group to run with, bobbits hangmen is always looking for friendly people. I help teach scouts in the learning coalition and have mastered dropship flight and various other things. If you wish to chitchat, send me a mail. This is the proper player name for dust and Im generally on every day. Dedicated Stealth Scout. Scout instructor; Learning Coalition Sidearms are terribly underestimated.
