AV is thw hardest role to learn. Even though people rant about swarms being easy mode the cold fact is that heavy suit AV is more universally efficient.
Your three choices for AV are swarms, plasna cannon and Forge Guns.
Swarms are the simplest to learn, hardest to get the timing down. It also requires a well-fit dropsuit to be successful. Any dropsuit can be an acceptable platform for swarms. Don't buy into the BS that the minmatar commando is the only worthwhile suit for the job. It's a bald-faced lie.
Plasma Cannon is the hardest to learn but utterly hilarious. It can also be used with great effect on infantry. It's kinda like a rocket launcher. Gallente suits work best here, with a very slight edge to the gallente commando.
Forge guns are the most efficient AV in DUST currently. It does require good aim and patience to learn. It is also the most narrow path. You have to use a sentinel suit or heavy frame to use it and the heavy frames don't have the resilience of a sentinel.
In all cases if you are looking to be dedicated AV as your chosen role take a last look at that KDR stat and remove it from your mind as important. Your value to your team is measured in how badly you can make enemy vehicle drivers panic or die.
I don't recommend skilling heavily into swarms because they are useless against infantry.
Until you get past 15 million SP AV is DUST 514 hard mode. You aren't going to get rich like some players. You play AV because you enjoy watching vehicles explode, period.
Find a corp, squad up and learn.
The best way to learn is to play assault, get something to advanced and then branch out into the role that most appeals. This creates a home point you can always fall back on as needed and lets you see how everything works in the game before you dive into the shark tank wearing a chum suit.
Good luck and good hunting.

There's no such thing as a good swarmer... You should have gone into forge guns.
Shut up. Quit forcing your prejudices on new players. Let them form their own unique, irrational hatreds.
For example, I hate my teammates, and ensure they die at every opportunity.

The skills required to use proto are more valuable than actually running proto

It's far more fun to take a dump in someone's wheaties after they hit 10 million SP. 
At that point they're invested in the game, and a proven masochist.

You are clearly unfamiliar with my policy of sacrificing a blueberry at the beginning of every FW match
Nade ganking
Awoxing DUST Uni and getting Jenza blamed for it.
Driving over blueberries
Shooting REs while blues are hacking the point on top of them (this one makes me giggle)
I'm one of the reasons for a few targeted nerfs of certain mechanics (along with the rest of goonfeet)
And no, not a troll, if I can figure out how, I will kill blues in pubs and FW.
My mission in life is to insure that you understand that you are not safe, even in "protected" areas and game modes.
