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

A dropsuit, for reference, has like 10 structure. Real men hull tank, but hull tanking in DUST would be a bad idea. CPM1 Elect. Thanks for all your support.

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.

(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.) CPM1 Elect.

The primary notion was that it needed to be possible for swarms to catch up to an ADS which wasn't afterburning. Being able to hit your target on occasion is a fundamental requirement of being at all useful. CPM1 Elect. Thanks for all your support. [email protected] for ideas, thoughts, and feedback.
