So don't fly in pieces of paper. But I think increasing the lock on time for swarm would solve this horseshit. Swarm are the most idiot proof weapons since all it takes is instant lock and and fire. Amazing how the easiest weapons to use do 3500 damage a volley.

They're actually a pain to use. Because their lock range is incredibly short (a peeve of mine) and they fail to hit often because the ADS can move behind buildings and such. Meanwhile, forge guns have a much greater range, pinpoint accuracy (almost as good as a sniper), and near instant speed that makes them incredibly effective.

Hey yea but Soraya, thats the trade off associated with using a forge. You are commited to a heavy suit. Swarms can be used on any suit. You could chose to be fast and nimble with a scout swarmer, you could be a commando, you could be a cheap dmg mod stacked medium frame etc....

You cant have the swarms be on par with the forge. Light AV vs Heavy AV

An assault suit isn't much faster when you're trying to chase down a vehicle, trust me, especially with the pitiful lock range of a swarm launcher. And the extra tank on a heavy suit is nice since you're probably going to get shot at by overpowered vehicles. Not really a trade off. And forge guns are always more effective than swarms. (At least, pre-Delta. Haven't tried Delta yet.)

You will get laughed at for thinking to use 1. get a grimsness with a gunner instead. Cheaper, tanky and costs much less SP to get. If you cant avoid swarms then you got to tank them. Bright is the opposite of dark! Who would have thought of that?!

(At least, pre-Delta. Haven't tried Delta yet.) Swarms shouldnt be run on medium frames, the only option that makes sense is to put them on a scout and attack vehicles from their blindspot. Avoiding infantry and damage is the #1 priority when you are doing AV. And both can easy be achieved with a scout suit. Bright is the opposite of dark! Who would have thought of that?!

(I actually suggested this, rather than buffing them. Nobody went for it though. It was probably a good decision not to, but sixteen swarms on a team would've been fun.) Thats one hell off a lie. Swarms where usefull espacially on cloaked scouts who can sneak past enemys and ambush tanks. And they still forced ADS to leave the field. So they where not useless. Bright is the opposite of dark!
