I recall a post that said the swarm missiles were going to get some basic limitation to their auto-tracking.
Has that fallen off the list? Cause I had a set actual circle completely around my ADS to finally hit me. Easily over 360 degrees, probably by an additional 120.
On the other hand if you want to leave them that way then how about letting us know? And setting the price of the ADS down to something reasonable so lost Derps because of wanky camera controls shifting away and missiles that will follow you all the way around a pillar aren't costing 322K just for the chassis.
And so it goes.

Swarms definitely no longer avoid all obstacles to seek and destroy you. They take the path of least resistance, which means they slam right into buildings, small hills, lamp posts, etc. If a volley of swarms did a 360 around your dropship, you must have taken a really wide turn.
If you win the rat race, you're still a rat.

Recently i've found loads of swarm volleys to circle the ship before impacting,, they're showing strange new behaviour that's for sure...
Truth is they're much more effective since the new update,,,, i think av'ers still think it's broke because of the whole gallente dropship being practically invulnerable thing |

My recollection is the targeting range sucks so I quit using them. Maybe I'll take another look. |

Why did I lose two? At least my alt did. Proto swarms are wicked if they hit you at the right time. One lost to swarm while the other was a FG. Same deal.
As far as the reason why it is simple. The reduced the hardeners bonus from 40% to 25%. Shields went from 60% to 40%. Those are the same ones that tankers use. So, dodging is more important than before and the swarms will actually circle a pillar to hit you. Not like CCP/Shanghai said they were going to do, but hey? CCP/Shanghai.
And so it goes.
