People who use swarms would disagree.
- 45M SP, Profiency V Swarms
Shoot scout with yes...

- 45M SP, Profiency V Swarms you specced into a skill less weapon, you shouldn't be rewarded greatly. Your fault.
So are you saying that swarms are fine or are you saying that I shouldn't have skilled into them?
Anyhow, I wouldn't exactly call them skill-less. I do have to sneak around your infantry, time my strike in conjunction with other AV, and avoid being picked off by your team while I fire at you. Not to mention ... if you're in my range, I'm also well within range of your turret:
If you're in an ADS, your cycled missile launcher need only hit me once.
If you're in a blaster tank, ~2-3 rounds should suffice.
If you're in a rail tank, one shot will do the trick (though I'll make you work for it).
Let's pretend that you're kind enough to stand perfectly still and not shoot me. Even so, my damage output will be insufficient to threaten you if you're in an ADS, Gunnlogi, 3xRep Madrugar.
Again, that's at Proficiency V Proto Swarms with 2 Complex Damage Amps.
My fault for skilling into a bad weapon? Yes.
Swarms are fine? No.
Shoot scout with yes...

It's not hard to hit anything of that size with a forge gun. Ok, then, why not make it so swarms aren't so dumb fire and you actually have to track the target.
That'd require a client-side update; but it might've actually worked pretty well ...
* Swarm operator attains target lock; volleys missiles.
* Missiles in Flight: Pilot hears beeping :: ALERT ALERT :: (puts down his bag of chips)
* Missiles in Flight: Swarm operator manually maintains lock-on (keep the target in the box)
Conditions of Victory, Pilot
* Successful evasive maneuvers: breaks swarm operator's line of sight.
* Swarm operator fails to maintain target lock (i.e. KIA, loses visual, etc).
Conditions of Victory, Swarm Operator
* Maintains lock-on from missile launch until impact
Think about it. That kind of Vehicle / AV encounter would be a whole lot more fun for everyone than ... say ...
:: eating chips :: I'm in a tank so I win unless three of you hit me at the same time. Haha.
or
:: queue British accent :: Observe now what I call the "judge maneuver", which is a rather complex and difficult-to-perfect loop-dee-loop. Notice how this maneuver reorients my bird such that my reticule hovers nicely over the infantry below. Yes, in fact, that infantry-man below is firing swarms at me, but we mustn't let such nuisance distract us from executing perfect form.

Updating now. o7

Done and done.

Notice how the maneuver reorients my bird such that my reticule hovers nicely over this infantry-man below. Let's rewind and play that back. Yes, in fact, that infantry-man is firing swarms at me. He has been for some time. But we mustn't let such nuisance distract us from executing the perfect loop-dee-loop. Once our maneuver is complete, you will note how quickly and easily the infantry-man is dispatched.
PS: Big fan, btw. Totally agree with you ... most of the time :-)

Are you proposing a 100% buff to damage output?
How will pilots :: eat chips :: under such severe stress?
