With regards to Swarms, with their ridiculously short lock-on range and slow speed, it really shouldn't be THAT difficult to figure out where they're coming from.
You KNOW they have to be coming from someplace close, or they wouldn't get the lock in the first place so, if you're near a building or any other elevated position, it's a pretty safe bet that the AV with the Swarm Launcher is probably on top of it somewhere.
Yes, swarms and AV players not rendering for DS pilots is a HUGE issue, but it's not like those Swarms can be coming at you from anywhere on the map, just from somewhere in pretty small radius below you.
Even if the first volley is an auto-hit (or even the second, for that matter), you can still just fly straight up out of range to easily outrun and avoid the next volley. You don't NEED cover, you just need distance (and not very much of it, either). |

I don't believe that he is.
If you watch your video again, at 1:02, you point out the nanohive on the roof and claim that it "looks" clear, but that is only because, at that moment, the AV player is BEHIND the structure that the nanohive is on, and thus out of your line of sight (you can clearly see that he had fired at you from behind this structure once you've swung around from the other side at 1:26.
You blame this on rendering, but clearly this is simply an issue of the Swarm player using cover to his advantage.
At 1:32, you point out that he is standing in the middle of the roof, which he clearly is, but only because he MOVED to that position AFTER the first volley. He was NOT standing there, out in the open, the whole time.
While I completely agree that rendering is an issue in this game (and not just for Pilots), and I'm normally a big fan of your videos, but this one just seems a little sloppy and biased, IMO.

I think I was right.
I know you do, but if you look at the timestamps that I mentioned, you'll see that it's pretty clear that, in this instance at least, you aren't.
Sorry.
Don't get me wrong, I completely agree with the point you're trying to make, I just don't think that this particular footage illustrates it very well (if at all).
Again, I mean no offence. I've watched MANY of your videos, and I know you can do better.

Yes, and it nicely illustrates MY point, that THAT particular volley came from just behind that structure on the roof, which would have been just out of your line of sight from your original approach.
In the time it took you to pass the roof and turn around, he had PLENTY of time to take a couple steps away from the wall before firing (which is precisely where your video zooms in on him).
How do you not see that?
Anywho, not really worth arguing about. Like I said, I DO agree with the point you're TRYING to make, but it seems like you tried a little too hard to make it seem that this clip illustrates it (when it really doesn't), instead of using some other footage that CLEARLY does (like at 1:52 where the installation obviously POPS into view, for example)
I just thought that this particular video wasn't up to your usual standards, that's all.
