I killed a python with swarms for the first time in months yesterday and was overjoyed - didn't even expect it! However, the fool was flying at about 30m altitude trying to gun down all the ground forces because no one was AVing.
Swarms are still exactly the same as they were, so fly at 200m and unless the swarmer is right underneath you, he won't even be able to lock on.

I didn't mean always fly at 200m but it's pretty damn easy to get there in a hurry if you do start taking damage. Flying at 30m thinking you should be able to just tank an entire clip of swarms is going to get you killed. That makes perfect sense.

Look, at the crux of the previous hardener issue was the ability to double them up and be virtually invulnerable. Nerfing them because of this means that it's pointless to ever run just one, further pushing every vehicle to fit 2. That's no way to balance.
The way to fix the old dual hardener issue is to give stacking penalties beyond just slightly reducing the hardening of the 2nd module - something like % reduced regen per hardener, multiplying greatly for every extra hardener. So like stacking armor slows you down much more, stacking hardeners would also have a downside.
I'm glad I can now kill things with my swarms but this was not the nerf I was hoping for.
