It's a difficult debate to finetune. I'd rather see the swarms fly faster so I do get my kills but is that balanced? Even if you react fast with a dropship you're still always gonna get hit at least twice before you fly off. If the chasing swarms then catch up with you, the likelihood of surviving becomes rather small. I wouldn't say that is balanced.
I was thinking, why don't dropships get countermeasures? Make swarms faster, but give pilots the option to drop decoys that attract some, if not all, of the incoming swarms away from the ship. This could be a module you put on your ship rather than a built-in option.
Admittedly I know nothing about dropship slot layouts and what they usually put on there, for all I know you don't have space on a dropship to swap out a module.

Ok so what you said in the beggining was you have adv swarms when i specifically said proto. Then you go on and say you and a buddy when i said at least 3. Read and pay attention to the op because you just explained that you weren't doing what i said. I would like to see a flare option like helicopters have though.

What you do is get everyone to lock on to the ads at once. When everyone is locked point swarms upward and fire all of them at the same time. Gives the ads'er no time to fly away as all of the swarms will hit at once or in very rapid succession. I dont even swarm and this idea was easy to think up. Get some skill and stop complaining about ads'es scrubs. What? "This looks like a job for me so, everybody just follow me cause it feels so empty without me."

I have a scout setup with adv swarms and a damage mod (and remotes... but they never want to land in front of me!) and even together with my proto buddy we sometimes can't bring down a dropship. We'll both get the first hit in, then we fire a second as the dropship reacts, some of these may hit or he may outfly them, but we always fire a third volley as well.

"Hey guys, forget about the objective, that tank, and the 14 other enemies, let get some swarms, and shoot at this guy, so he flies away.....and comes back a minute later fully healed." Actually, this is rarely how it works out. First you spawn AV, you hit them with a FG or a Swarm volley. They take notice, if they can't kill you after the 2nd hit, they use the afterburner right before or right as the third one happens. They get away, regenerate HP, then they go pester a different part of the map Then either you need to switch back to a regular suit or stand there being useless until the next vehicle enters your 175m/300m range. Only for the same thing to happen again. People always like their hypothetical situations where the ADS just runs away and comes back, but it is far worse than that because they have the maneuverability to just leave your range and render you useless/ineffective while they go and dominate another part of the map. If you can't keep up, shut up. Math is easy, you're just stupid. The Empress of Alts

Get some skill and stop complaining about ads'es scrubs. What is it Spkr used to say? Teamwork for thee but no teamwork for me? It should not require 3 people to destroy or supress a vehicle, fortunately it can achieved with one person with ADV swarms no less. So for actual people who play this game, and further more play an AV role as in actual AV role not just! Ooh look tank! Step 1: Lock-on to the enemy pilot ideally they want to be relatively close and unaware of your prsecense Step 2: After lock-on is achieved spin 180-¦ and launch the volley away and into the sky Step 3: Spin-round again and lock-on as quickly as possible Step 4: If steps 1-3 have been done correctly firing now will produce 2 swarms incredibly close together. Step 5: Irrespective of wether step 4 was succesful continue to fire as fast as possible. Done correctly the first 2 swarms will hit within very quick succession which means no regen for pythons and no spider sense for incubus, the subsequent 3 volley probably already in the air by this point has a clear shot at armour. In addition to this the pilot reacts irratically, because he is fooled into believing he is under attack from 2 swarmers. This will often result in the pilot bugging out to his redline at rather fast rate of knots. Remember you don't have destroy him simply suppress, using this tactic will allow you suppress an area of 70,000 metres from the pilot, which provided you have enough ammo means 1 or 2 points in a skirmish, the active battlezone in a domination and your entire team in Ambush. You will also be handsomely rewarded with 75wp for each time you succesfully get all 3 volleys to hit, making it more profitable to actually keep him alive. This tactic works best with a commando of anykind due to the reload bonus they recieve from their racial skills, although Minmatar also recieve an extra 10% d0to swarm damage as well, making the Swarms bite just amlittle bit sharper.

Probably the main reason I run commando. So if they do that, I'm can still attack and defend against infantry. Was mainly just attacking the logic that it should take more than one proto AV skilled mercenary to take out a dropship. Personally, as long as I do enough damage to make the vehicle run away, I'm happy. Embracing my inner scrub since 2013.

Nothing to with co-ordination, just the fact that when the frame-rate drops it becomes stupidly difficult to pilot the dropship. With all those missile coming at once frame lag like you wont believe. Secondly, every time someone mentions an ads it always includes "afterburners." I sometimes wonder if people who don't pilot can tell if a ship has afterburners going, because I often get told I'm a "scrub" for afterburning away in my Bus from av with my scanner going... See where I went there... Stupid people wont get this. Point being everyone wants swarms to hit when something that's supposed to counter it is activated... Once again completely ignoring all the other vehicles that don't run them, that can't escape their 'fly to the last known location & then around the object they're hiding behind' targeting.

If you could read properly you would see that I agree with you. In case you still miss it, it's the first line. I am literally saying your tactic could work, depending on the player flying the ship and with that I mean some pilots are more cautious than others, some will make the mistake of hanging around an area where 3 proto swarmers might hide out. I then proceed to give you an idea of how I go about my swarming usually to actually emphasise the point you are making about needed 3x proto to pull off a, so to speak, one-shot kill on a dropship. Read and pay attention to those who bother to reply seriously to your topic. Engage in proper discussion rather than trying to flame me.
