I was in a dom yesterday, sniping from [REDACTED] on Fracture Road, and I watched seven - SEVEN - redberries loose swarms on a Python simultaneously. The smoke trails from their missiles blotted out the sun. The Python crashed in the shade.
Delta just dropped, Swarms vs. ADS is the thing of the minute. After a few matches, I was indeed seeing a lot of new snipers trying the rifle. I literally took two guys off the same rooftop twice each, but I couldn't see their uplink from my vantage point, so when one of them came in a third time, I popped him again. I saw them in the killfeed with the STD rifle and the NT-511 respectively. Just like Swarms, a lot of people are trying it because it's newly buffed. They'll find that sniping isn't so easy and they'll go back to being regular infantry whining about snipers.
All these new swarmers will find themselves still ineffective alone without Wyrkomis on a Minmandong, and pilots will find that they're not facing 7 swarmers at once anymore and they'll still be largely immortal as they can still GTFO with near impunity, they just have to wait longer before coming back.

Swarms are still invisible at least half the time, you don't hear them approaching sometimes, and rendering is still abysmal, giving AV infantry a huge advantage.
And with 3x Complex damage mods, I connected with three volleys from a Wyrkomi Swarm and failed to kill a Python. He DID stop harassing me, but he didn't die. This was also in a dom match where I was tower sniping. Same match, I downed an Incubus who had fled from another swarmer and had the bad luck to flee right into my range. I opened fire when he started hovering well away from the main fighting, presumably waiting out his AB cooldown, and his armor was not yet fully repped. Took two volleys, the first surprised him and the second he wasn't fast enough to flee from without the AB. Sucked to be him.
