Just a random thought I had.
I am part shovel, part man, full scout, and a little bit special.

"I am hiding, shooting, fighting off tanks. AND cleaning my oven."
Same goes for any suit really. Be able to fight off AV without really losing a slot that hurts. It is the reason why AV grenades got hit by the nerf fairy.
I'm just coming from a battlefield state of mind, where it takes like 7-10 solid hits to take a tank down, but it's not so bad because people aren't completely giving up their ability to defend themselves.

Exactly.
I wouldn't really think it to be comparable to be honest. One weapon is only usable against a specific playstyle, the other can kill everything except that specific playstyle.
But hey, I never said it was a good idea.

Query: Is the problem specifically with the swarms in an equipment slot or any kind of propelled av in the equipment slot?

Imagine this: You have an Assault guy running about the map with an X Rifle, mowing down infantry. An enemy tank comes in so he swaps to his equipment Swarm Launcher or 'propelled AV' and pushes it off the field or flat out kills it. He continues to go back to fighting other infantry and being a slayer. He nullifies vehicles without giving up the ability to nullify infantry.
But why is Dust the only game that forces you to do that?
