If you want a new players perspective on this issue. I am smart enough to pull out a swarm if there are tanks or ads all over. I remember using the starter fit and putting a hurting on tanks and dropships. Now one of my most used fits is an adv minmando and I've taken enough vehicles I know some tanker vets have seen the Giant pop up when they died. I personally don't think swarms need a buff. I looked at the price of dropships and if I lost even one of those a match it would hurt.

As a noob, I either have a natural ability to use a swarm or time could be spent on more important issues that we all love to hate. It should take a team effort and not one noob with a swarm. If the enemy is smart enough to get the heck out of the way then good play. If I can evade death long enough to land about 4 good shots and they're man or woman enough to stick around then good play on my part. They are either pretty fair as is or it could use a nerf rather than buff.

Honest opinion

I used an advanced swarm launcher with damage mod, one person used their proto tank and the third used a standard swarm launcher. We spent most of the match taking this dropship on and not once did we knock him out the sky. We didn't even get much further than knocking his shields off. Not everyone is using proto gear, so whether they need a buff or not shouldn't be based on whether a proto team can shoot it down.

They are either pretty fair as is or it could use a nerf rather than buff. Honest opinion I totally disagree about it being a team effort. If one side took out a few vehicles and sent them to different spots on the map to pester the opposing team, then it shouldn't take a group at each location to kill them - that leaves the side without the vehicles at a huge disadvantage. I always play by the logic of 'it takes 1 sniper to kill a light/medium suit, 2 to kill a heavy'. Snipers can help out the team by knocking shields off someone so it's easier for the infantry on the ground to kill them. You don't need 2 snipers to kill a heavy, it just makes it easier. You do need multiple people to take out a vehicle though. If 2 starter fits working together can't take out a tank, I don't think that's very fair - it's hardly adding to the new player experience (I have tried taking out a tank with my starter fit along with another squad member, and it didn't even nearly work). While proto gear is all well and good, some thought should also be given to the newbies to the game, who don't have the luxury of choosing to use the kit which causes the most damage.
