Do you find the assault variant more usefull than focusing all your efforts on one target? Not sure whether to get the Ishukone or the wiyrkomi. Seems like the assault would end up biting you in the ass since your spreading the damage across two targets than one? |

Well thanks, I've upgraded my av minmando to proto weaponry. I did decent with it before, should be a nice improvement. Hope the vehicle drivers have a competent team or at least bpo's cause I'm gonna blow a hole in someones wallet.
Ok, ok.... I'll be realistic now. I'll prob end up blowing a hole in my own wallet, but all in good fun. |

Kinda figured that about the assault just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. With all the swarm talk in delta you'd think the assault woulda got a little love. I guess if the best one is the cheapest its win-win. Glad I didn't waste 45k on a turd launcher |

They need to remove the dual targeting and make it more assault-y Maybe halving the lock on time or removing it. Give it the damage profile of the normal swarm launcher but remove two missiles. So you'd get off shots very quick but it would be 2 missiles per shot. It would be half damage per clip, but the reduced/removed lock on time means that you are reloading quicker and so, applying more DPS. That was pure brainfart by the way, iv literally just made that up.
Or something similar and poss easier would be to copy and paste the changes to missile launchers where you have the option to load desired amount at a time. Sometimes all it would take is one more hit, but by time you go through entire reload they got away. I'm hoping I'm not gonna have that prob anymore with my shiny new toys. Well see when I get my crazy juices under control and can enjoy a game. |

The specialist to me are horrible because of that increased lock on time , it seems like it's three times the lock on time sometimes and if your not in a trap area for vehicles , they get away easily .
I just don't see the problem with assaults that most of you are talking about .
I smash with assault swarms , but I do swarm and anti-vehicle every match ... I swarm way more then I forge .
Are you smashing two vehicles at once, besides Jeeps? If you have only one target, than the assault is gonna be the same as the other, but if you have two targets your just gonna annoy two tanks and not get anything accomplished but drawing attention to yourself. I guess it would kinda suck if it locked on to an unmanned enemy turret while trying to take out a vehicle, and not only caused the enemy to come find you but now you got the turret firing back as well.  |

Whatever, I'll give it a go, I guess it'll be a jeep hunter. I should be able to knock out two jeeps w 1 clip right? |

The problem is that you could do the same with the normal SL but without 2x the ISK price and CPU/PG higher than a Viziam Scrambler Rifle.
I forgot about cpu/pg, when I bought the wyrikomi I had to swap uplink out for hive(not a prob), but I did notice the assault was a bit higher. I'll kick the kid off in a bit and try them out. I already made my choice but I told ASL I'd at least try. 45k isk im not trying too many times though. |

I gotcha man, I try to find a need fill a need in battle as well. Its amazing how many tanks can be pummeling blueberries and no one thinks to switch to av. If I'm the only av out there WP racks up like crazy!
I tend to stay away from stacking the mods w penalties. Not worth the isk / reduced performance. |
