The only problem i have with swarms is it's a sure 75 damage wp at advanced, and w/o them rendering unless you are facing the direction of the swarmer. That's simply unfair because one can't hear them, one can't see them; but, one must feel them.
Honestly, that alone makes swarms overpowered. A ghostly 800+ damage weapon that you cannot see, hear, or avoid (the swarms just follow the dropship's path over time and the wider turning circle w/o inertia improves the swarms slightly [e.g: they fly around the building]) w/o boosting to full throttle.
I don't even need to engage someone (a fly by) and i magically see damage appear. I did'nt see, or hear anything. For all i know 2 more volleys might be on their way.
Come on people... Forget who vs what and actually fix some ISSUES that cause the problem. Can't we agree on that? |

Preach it brother I can agree on some of this yes there are still rendering issues but to get the +75 i think that it has to be Amor damage but i could be worng not sure on that. When i fly i can hear the swarms fire every time by the time they fire the 3rd im out of the area. as far as i know there is a 375- 400m swarm range
1000 damage = 75 wp from what i've experienced. Proto = sure 75 on shields, adv = sure 75 on armor below 1000 shield. Basic = sure 75 on armor.
And everyone needs to understand that the hate for dropships are so bad. I take a swarm resistant myron and just hover near an objective. You should have seen how many people ran to their supply depot and switched to av rather than defend their objective.
A non combative dropship > winning the round in some cases.
It's always so funny when someone sends me mail asking "what was your build? I had a lvl 5 min commando proto prof 5 swarms and 2 comp damage mods and i barely scratched you."
^ ive done my job, i distracted about 3 or 4 people and we secured the objective.
Please please, don't be greedy people. Play with common sense and not a kid begging for wp cause people like me will arrive and ruin the entire game for you.
