Swarms are not broken because of the raw numbers on them.
They're broken because of the ability for shields to rep through them, and the ability for armour reps to exceed their DPS.
Swarms themselves might not need alteration, but there are game mechanics which result in Swarms being broken, and EITHER Swarms need a buff OR those mechanics need to be changed. |

If shields cant rep through an anti ARMOR weapon then I will never use a shield vehicle again, I'll use a op armor vehucke
As long as VEHICLES can rep through anti-VEHICLE weapons, I'll be saying something is wrong.
Plasma Cannons can't be repped through by shields or armour. Neither can Forge Guns. Neither can high-end AV Grenades, which aren't even meant to be a primary AV weapon. Why should Swarms be the ONLY anti-vehicle weapon incapable of harming certain vehicles? |

For the same reason armour reps shouldn't be outpacing the damage Swarm Launchers do. And certainly shouldn't be outpacing the regen rate on shields.
No I didn't explain wrong. You ARE wrong, and I explained WHY you're wrong.
Vehicles should not be able to make themselves effectively invulnerable to anti-vehicle weapons. Resistance is fine, immunity is not. Armour reps shouldn't be able to get as high as they do, and shield reps shouldn't be able to keep going through anti-vehicle weapons unless you're stacking multiple hardeners. |
