lol, would be nice but I opted for minimum equal footing.
They have more power,speed,resistance and repair capability that a foot soldier. Therefore they foot soldier should have AT LEAST the capability to lock on the range their blaster can shoot.

The biggest issue, to me, is lock-on being particularly too short versus dropships. It takes less than a single lock-on for any dropship to go from a standstill to out-of-range.
The swarms do, but the launchers is the issue. Just it's lock on range needs to be increased to match or a little more.

Yes, and that means after your first hits, the dropship activates an afterburner and outruns the next 2 volleys of turtle rockets.
Yes, had a game just now and 2 of us using swarms couldn't get this ship, just boosting in circles lol.

Then this ought to be tested as just missing my feet with the blaster but I couldn't lock onto him. The reason for making the post. So i'll be testing later I guess.
