literally ANY commando goes excellently with swarms.
however, your job as a light infantry AVer is not to hunt tanks, but to stick with your squad and push vehicles away from them/destroy them. Heavy infantry AV usually has a hard time keeping up with a squad, so they typically run solo or in pairs
Try finding a good squad and using a light AV weapon (swarm, plc) in addition to a rifle |

Or you just have a suit that's sole purpose is AV and nothing else?
Go with that scout crap if it's the later but a Commando suit with the supported AV weapon would be ideal for an AI/AV role.
Kind of like the Engineer from Battlefield.
He is still capable of killing enemies but can destroy vehicles as well.
Not this one trick pony nonsense.
This guy gets it |

And you can decloak behind a tank and start pummel him with your swarms. No other suit is capable to do surprise attacks like a scout.
that's a huge gimmick
what's stopping the tanker from going third person, seeing you cloaked and then pummeling your ass? |

Nothing is stopping him, but nothing is making him, either, at least until you score that first juicy kill. Many tankers spend far too much time in first person mode, and 99% are in first person mode when they're actively trying to shoot infantry. You say it's a gimmick, but if it works just a few times in a match, that may be all you need to turn the tide. If you could sneak up on a tank into RE range before 1.8, once you add a cloak it's just not hard at all. Also, 2 equip slots means you can bring REs or a nano in addition to the cloak, so you don't really sacrifice utility compared to the commando or assault AV in terms of equipment.
I say it's a gimmick because it's unreliable against anyone who isn't an idiot
even if he is in first person mode, what's stopping him from switching after he feels the first shot?
REs are different, because they are a lot less noisy to place |
