STD and ADV swarms are getting buffed.
PRO swarms are getting a small nerf (about 100 odd damage.)
Overall, swarms will be more dangerous: that is, ADV/STD swarms will be almost as dangerous as PRO ones, which means well likely see more being fielded.

Except STD/ADV are both gaining DPS.

Except STD/ADV are both gaining DPS. Which means noting, as they'll still be less effective than the PRO Swarm. That's like nerfing a Core Flaylock to 200HP of damage, then making the GN-13 deal 190HP and calling it a buff.
Which means plenty.
ADV should be effective: it will be much more effective post-Charlie. PRO was brought down because the gap was enormous before and bringing the other up and keeping PRO the same would've been ridiculous.
Swarms currently are effective. I run no Proficiency CBR-7s and I do fine. Do I kill evey vehicle? Nope, but I do drive them away, which is why you get damage points.
If you want to kill a vehicle in 2-3 volleys then you most definitely don't get to get 150+ WP from just damage as well as the destruction. Killing a vehicle is hard, certainly, but it's not undoable and AV is no longer insufficient in terms of WP. And Charlie is a buff for the more accessible tiers of Swarms. For the game overall,this is a good thing.
