The speed thing is definitely an issue I have brought up before.
Having a module that boosts our speed to unrealistic level only serves to unbalance AV as it cannot adequately target such a mobile armoured vehicle is poor. This module serves as a crutch for tankers as it allows them to get out of a fight altogether too quickly.

The Swarmers thing..... its tricky. Swarms have poor damage progression per tier, as you..or Magnus said few weapons actively see a 50% damage increase between basic and proto.

With per rates the way they are they completely invalidate the damage of swarms because of travel time.

If missile travel time was faster I believe it would go a long way to balancing out Swarms and make them a much more viable AV weapon than they currently are.

I am wholly against direct damage buffs of AV weapons, and nerfs of vehicles. But what tweaks could we discuss than might aid AV vs Vehicles, bearing of course that any buffs to AV directly also impact vehicle balance vs light frame vehicles such as DS and LAV and in future vs MAV and MTAC.

Swarms are ok right now.

Vehicle speed is good. Don't forget they sacrafise a slot for speed.

M1 Abrams, third generation MBT, also the fastest of MERICAS commissioned MBTs is to slow and old. If there is this ( http://www.funker530.com/pl-01-future-stealth-tank-unveiled-by-poland/ ) in POLAND i want cloaked HAVs.

( its a game dude nothing to do with the reality )

Did you like 1.6 Tanking?

Well what I'm getting at is I think the issue is more with the nerf to AV and less the mechanics of the vehicles themselves.

In 1.6 I would frequently solo kill tanks with a militia swarm launcher and standard packed AV grenades, and I'm not very good at AV. I think that was a little ridiculous, but I also think 1.7 went too far in terms of nerfing AV.

EDIT:

A large part of the issue is the effectiveness of the blaster against infantry. The fact that a swarm launcher can barely get outside of the blaster's range and still get a lock on is very problematic. Blasters need a range nerf, as they are supposed to be the shortest range turret in the game.

That short range however should also come with terrifying DPS, but right now even point blank, a Railgun outclasses a Blaster in nearly every way. However we dont want an increase in the Blaster's DPS to make the Anti-Infantry issue worse. Aside from range, the blaster's near pinpoint accuracy and high fire rate make it exceptionally good at killing personnel.

By decreasing the fire rate and accuracy of the Large Blaster, but increasing the damage per shot, you make the Blaster less effective against infantry but better as a short range AV weapon.Not only does this allow for infantry to better engage the Large Blaster outside of its absolute range, it encourages tankers to equip Small Turrets for their teammates to use to defend the tank against infantry.

Ultimately this discourages solo HAV play unless the pilots intention is to fight only other vehicles, and encourages group play as it puts a higher value on smaller turrets and a lower value on large turrets in terms of dealing with infantry.

AV light weapons should never never solo a HAV. It's a light weapon. Right now it dose great work in denying ground to a vehicle and to support heavy AV weapons and ather vehicles. The easiest way to destroy vehicles should always be a ather vehicle. A high slot could be a shield extender/booster/hardener. You guys want to solo HAVs but refuse to get inside one to get the job done.
