Before you assume the worst let me point out a few facts:

2 particle cannon shots take out ads not without 2 or more damage mods
3 swarm volleys kill ads In most cases, yes, but not always
2 afg shots destroy ads What kind of an ADS do you fly, my model takes 4 shots to down
1 40k gorgon rammer burns ads Don't hover in an area unless you have to, you normally won't get rammed that way.
1 bump with a building decimates ads CCP is working on this (not), it should be fixed soonTM

Also consider this:

Even with afterburner on after 1st volley hits the second volley of swarm always connects Not always, there are techniques
With 1 volley of swarms it is possible for fg to 1 shot ads Again, what kind of ADS do you fly?
Afterburner provides acceleration boost NOT speed boost What are you smoking?
Fuel injector does provide speed boost It's a tomato tomato thing in my opinion, they both achieve roughly the same thing

Typical ads costs 500k and requires sp in vehicles, dropships, assault dropships, factional dropships, armour upgrades, armour optimisation, armour repair, armour composition, shield upgrades, shield optimisation, shield depleted recharge, core skills and all small turret skills. True dat, girlfriend! *snaps fingers*

Typical proto swarm requires any dropsuit, weaponry, light weaponry and swarm launcher + proficiency and reload. And costs 60k Reload over proficiencies.

Losing an ads a match is not viable economically. Vehicles period are not viable economically.

Currently swarms severely damage and kill ads in one clip... The good pilots use their afterburner and flight skills to dodge the 3rd volley of swarms. There are maybe maximum 200 ads pilots, 30 max do pc Well, out of the good ones at least, there are crappy pilots, they are out there, somewhere in the world

There are countless swarm launchers and any 2 av infantry working together will kill ads easily Hate to side with AV people, but that's the way it's supposed to go

I'm sick of people wanting a god mode easy win dumb fire swarm launcher Preach on BROTHA!! TESTIFY!! Nah, but really, I agree

If any CCP dev has a problem with my statements make a video of you "completely ignoring av" in the "fotm ads" What decent pilot ignores AV?

Now I'm confused.

One pilot says 3 proto swarm volleys are guaranteed to drop any ADS.
The next pilot says only if the swarms are high proficiency and damage amp'd.
The next pilot says only if the ADS isn't HP tanked.
The next pilot says no one HP tanks the ADS.

So which is it?

PS: I run damage amp'd proficiency 5 proto swarms; I have never solo'd a Python or Incubus; I have landed an entire clip on both on numerous, separate occasions.

PPS: I don't think any swarmer should be able to solo a Python or Incubus in one clip.
