No one credible is openly asking for this.
In contrast to every improvement and tweak since Rattati's arrival, we've been provided with precisely zero narrative/explanation behind this change. Reasonable feedback has been outright ignored. No dialogue other than "the nerf to proto swarms isn't that bad ... we'll keep an eye on swarms" has been provided.
The only explanations I can think of ...
1) The Devs anticipate that upcoming changes to damage amps and installations will impact the ADS.
2) The Devs are being lobbied by pilots behind closed doors ... (pukes on self)
3) The Devs intend to "create need" for buffing swarms in response to expert challenge findings.

Possible. Perhaps.
But most pilots I've come across use modules.
In which case, 6+ proto swarms are needed.

With a Min commando and 2 enh damage mods, the proto swarm does just over 1.6k per volley. The typical Python will have about 3k shields and 1k armor, so even factoring in resistances it still only takes 3 volleys to kill a Python (with something it's resistant to, I might add).
I've pumped 3 back-to-back volleys of Proto Swarms into a dozen or more Pythons since Bravo.
Haven't close to crashing one, except for once ...
Which was when I teamed up and sync'd volleys with another merc running Proto Swarms.
6 back-to-back proto volleys almost crashed that Python.
Your "typical" Python isn't typical or your maths are missing something.

I'm not going to waste time arguing with idiots.
Good game.
