They aren't easy to fire (unless your on an elevated ground) because unlike every other AV weapon, a Swarm Launcher requires you to jump out of cover to lock and fire, which leads to an EZ kill from any competent tanker, or an 80GJ Neuron Blaster/Ion Cannon.
Sir Dukey wrote:Imagine a dumb-fire rifle that tracks targets and never misses a shot even if the person get's behind cover. Yeah, asking to buff swarms is like asking to make a skill-less weapon more powerful.
The fact that you think Swarm Launchers never miss a shot tells me that you haven't used a Swarm Launcher before, and have little (if any) idea of what your talking about.
Yes, because a weapon that puts you into-tunnel vision, crap for ammo, requires you to time your shots (or risk having your swarms miss the target), out-ranged by every AV Weapon/Vehicle Turret, and worse Anti-Personnel capabilities than a Breach Flaylock Pistol is skill-less.
Especially compared to hit-scan weapons with double the range of the Rail Rifle, 4x the damage, a heat-sink that may as well be considered irrelevant, and fitted onto a frame that has at least 4150 eHP. 
Though if I had to imagine, I'd picture the Bullseye from the Resistance franchise.
Sir Dukey wrote:How ever...... If swarmers had to keep their aim on tanks and DS's and guide the swarms, I see no problem with giving them a buff..
Well it's been confirmed that Swarm Launchers (and AV in general) will be receiving adjustments to make them more effective, so this statement is just drivel.

You do actually have 10 Rifles that can do that, simply turn on aim assist.
From what I've read about your inability to kill heavies and PRO suits, you probably need it anyways.

I went for a spin in my Python last night, and I could clearly see the Swarms coming towards me. Perhaps you need lessons on situational awareness.

- 45M SP, Profiency V Swarms you specced into a skill less weapon, you shouldn't be rewarded greatly. Your fault.
He didn't spec into a skill-less weapon.
He specced into Swarm Launchers.

actually, some swarms are completely invisible, I was looking at a swarmer, it showed that he just shot the swarms but I had already started to take damage.
And of the (currently) 45hrs that I've been using HAVs Assault Dropships, I've yet to have a problem with invisible swarms hitting my Python.
Buff eyesight?

which is a skill-less weapon.
No, not really.
For reasons listed above (and more) it actually takes more skill than most Infantry weapons, and 83% of vehicle turrets.

Ok, then, why not make it so swarms aren't so dumb fire and you actually have to track the target.
Sure.
