I know it's asking a lot, but I'd like a good discussion on this with real pilots and real AV guys. I don't want an IWIN button any more than the good pilots of Dust should. So Atiim, Numbnutz, Judge? Care to weigh in?
Proficiency V Swarms, 48M SP (Scout)
It is incredibly frustrating (and always risky) to volley swarms at a bird for an entire match. That said, its a good thing that they're hard to kill; I don't think I should be able to solo a decent pilot in a 500k+ aircraft. Birds are incredibly expensive, seem to pose less threat than tanks, and (unlike tanks) require skill and effort to pilot. I am satisfied with being able to chase them away and pleased that they can't outright ignore me anymore.
Pythons from a Swarmer's Perspective
* Frustrating? Absolutely.
* Broken? Unlikely.

Swarmers instantly go to #1 on all nearby enemy's kill list. Each volley screams (pardon the caps):
"HEY EVERYBODY! I'M OVER HERE! COME GET YOUR FREE KILL! "

I do hope I've not been misunderstood ... the operative word above is require.
Tanks: No player skill required, though performance improves with skill and effort.
Birds: Significant player skill and effort required.

You can eat my clip and get away as I reload. That's plenty of warning.
You can also OHK me with your missile launcher.
I'm gonna go with ... no.

You can eat my pro5 clip then get away as I reload. That's plenty of warning. You can also OHK me with your missile launcher. I'm gonna go with ... no. Not saying I agree but dropships can't eat a clip of prof5 proto swarms and happily fly away.
I said "get away". I never said "happily".
And Pythons do it to me all the time (pro swarms, pro5, +2 cmp dmg).
Easy cheesy to replicate.
