Hey.

Nobody can deny that swarm launchers needed a buff against the ads, and that forge guns were in a good place vs ads.

But ... A swarm launcher ( please remember this is a light weapon ) can now 3 hit kill my 2.2k shield 750 armour python in under 2 seconds, meaning that by the time the first volley hits me, the 3rd volley is being released. I cannot out fly missiles, and no will not use an afterburner. You have turned dropships back into the disgusting mess they used to be in 1.6 where anything everywhere would anhialate the ship.

Ttoday a sica mlt railgun turret shot off all 2.2k shield and 3/4 of my armour in one shot un hardened. What, have you done to my dropships.

Have you been super lazy and brought back those horrible 1.6 swarms again?

We as ads pilots can not see missles as they approach as they are again invisible, swarms are 90* turning around buildings so we cannot get cover, and even the swarm players aren't rendering until they empty a clip into us.

Your counter argument to justify this might be " well you can 2 shot a medium suit and light suit ", which is true.

However, you cannot aim at anything while being slammed into walls and forced into the floor by a volley of missiles. Heavy suits and.commandos both use swarms too making it even less likely to defend yourself, and the damage immediately forces you to back off to safety.

This is game breaking for us pilots .. All over again. I will not go through posting weekly / daily suggestions and issues all over again with the masses as we did in 1.6. This time, I may simply quit.

Im not crying for nerfs or buffs, Im saying this is game breaking for us pilots, it is impossible to break even with ships at 500k each, and swarms are doing too much for a light weapon and balance must be achieved!

Hey i got news to you which you dont like. Armor dropships (like the incubus) take much less damage from swarm launchers and can perma tank them with armor repairs. Quite ironic though armor is supposed to be weaker against swarms. Basically CCP is trolling shield dropship users now.

If anything AV weapons are only useful when multiples are being fired at once due to the speed of the dropship and HAV's. Swarms need to be restored to there former glory (damage wise) since any dropship pilot any good can easily out run missles. Seems to me your crying that you suck at both flying and fitting dropship... get good and don't ***** when you have a clear advantage on the battlefield. .... See my Corp tag? Right here? <- Wouldn't be there if they thought I sucked. Me IRL :)
