3) To keep things balanced, we will also reduce the turn radius of a swarm missile, so it can't bend around 90 degree corners. This will allow skilled pilots to deftly avoid missiles by taking cover behind buildings and terrain.
From my experience the swarm missile turn speed is really not that great. More often than not, when the DS flies around/behind a building, the swarms (regardless of firing angle) try to follow straight path, hitting the obstacle which is, of course understandable. But frustrating.
Swarms seem only to turn fast at the last meters nearing the dropship if the ship itself makes the turn.

PS. As I have mostly used Wiyrkomi SL with Minmatar Commando, I seem to notice slower lock-on on CBR-7 SL when using it. Which is weird because I thought that my LVL 5 skill should account for the lock on regardless of the meta level of SL used.

Oh you mean the only weapon in the game that takes zero skill to land hits with?
The one that all the scrubs skill into because they cant learn the art of the forge gun?
Press R1, get a cookie, rinse, repeat?
I hate ADSs as much as the next guy, but swarms are the answer here?

Swarms are only AV option against dropships for light and medium frames as it is. And as it is, they are lacking against every vehicle except LAVs. Well, fitted Methanas and Sagas can escape swarms easily enough too.
Press R1, get lit up by infantry and that's it.

Wait, you mean us medium frames cant counter everything else other players can throw at us? We need blues with diverse suits/roles to do that? Well, I for one demand a respec right meow! Some people enjoy chess, others checkers. I'm guessing your the latter
It really shows you haven't touched the no-skill swarms then.
They are in the game, they are a counter to dropships, or at least should be. Hope we'll get them working in the Delta update.
As for you, continue your merry forging, it's not away from me. I'm sure there's a forge vs. ds thread somewhere where you can contribute.
