Bud, once you get that knock back worked on you can have faster swarms, if you are making them fly away you are doing your job. More often then not I get killed by knock back from AV then actual AV damage.
Yeah. no.
If you want the knock-back reduced, you have to nerf Small Missile Turrets. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Swarm Launcher users to engage the Assault Dropship without the knock-back, because a Missile can 2HK them.
The job of Anti-Vehicle weapons is to kill vehicles. I've yet to see CCP state that AV should only suppress them, and even suggesting that they should only be suppressed is a problem because:
- If an Assault Dropship pilot can only be suppressed, he's not actually risking anything
- If a role makes it to where you won't die, why play as any other role?
- Nobody would spend SP into an AV weapon if they cannot kill targets with it. Just look at the PLC for reference.
Not to mention, it's possible to tilt the Assault Dropship to compensate for the knock-back effect, meaning it's not even a problem for those who actually know what they're doing.

I've already done so.
Still have yet to die. Even 80GJ Railguns aren't a problem because I can just warp to the flight ceiling when I get hit, it's not even difficult. I'm not even that good with ADSs either.

1.6 was broken as hell and one person in particular told me he/she still complained about AV imbalances for more favor of infantry.

Never once have I called for an AV Buff / Vehicle Nerf before Uprising 1.7; in fact, I was one of the few AVers who were actually calling for an HAV Buff.
Should I go on a limb and assume that this person doesn't exist, and that you simply stated that in an attempt to hold credibility with your statement?

You could always replace the rather obselete assault swarm launcher's gimmick for this.
No, I'd rather see this become the Tactical Swarm Launcher.
Leave the Assault Swarm Launcher as is.

Basically a swarm type that's more geared to taking out LAVs and Dropships rather than tanks, or at the very least being more effective at creating a danger zone for them. Get rid of the useless assault variant we have now, call what you stated above the assault variant.
The Assault Variant is by no means useless.
Just call it the Tactical Swarm Launcher.
