It can't do anything else other than that, so yeah it should exceed at its role to take out vehicles (and be widely use because you can use swarms on all dropsuits and you can only use the Forge Gun on a Heavy Basic Frame and Sentinel and PLCs are laughable against vehicles)
So do what I do when I go use my ADS, Don't hover over an area :D do strafe runs. It is more fun than hovering over a place anyways.
Strafe run means maybe 2 missiles, that's real useful. These aren't A-10 Warthogs.

Agreed. I kill way more HAV's with swarms than I do DS. HAV's lack the speed necessary to get away, and the pilot has to be 15x better than the pilot of a DS for escape to happen. Best I can usually do with an ADS is to chase them away and I'm happy to accomplish that much.

Forge guns are ok because at least you have to aim, but using swarms is just a way to get easy wp.
CCP pls, either return swarms and dropships to how they were before the changes so that afterburners are more effective and swarms are slower, or give dropships some kind of counter-measure for swarms, because this is getting ridiculous.

This is working fine - if you want better surviability, don't fly militia or just avoid the SL players. I cannot support your complaint. "Avoid the swarms." Literally impossible You've obviously never flown a dropship. It doesn't matter if it's MLT, STD or ADS, swarms pound the ever living hell out of dropships. I fly them quite often actually, and even though I only use Militia these days I would say I survive swarms as often as I lose a ship to them because I note where the swarms are coming from (e.g. I watch when other vehicles are getting shot) and avoid the area. As for actually avoiding the swarm missiles themselves, which I think is what you thought I meant but didn't mean, this is also possible provided you are relatively close to structures to fly behind/around/under etc. Swarms don't have the turn radius they used to have - it's easy to "thread the needle" where they can't. Honestly.
Swarms dont lock onto their target (dropships anyway), they follow there flight path, i dont know how many times ive tucked right behind a building, to have the swarms swing around it to hit me

I see players on the enemy team give up their match to hunt me. They get their swarms & forges & do nothing for the team. This happens frequently. Of course, Mostly they don't get me cause I'm not a moron so it just ends up as a stalemate -- But they sacrifice a whole squad to do it. Also, They're not doing that because its halfway through the match & I'm causing issues. They start the match with that stuff.
I put my Python & Incubus up in the hangar mostly now, Just cause its frustrating running into the same deal almost every pub.
Also, Swarms are frequently used in PC.

There's no balance now. Tanks and ADS are glass, while AV is the cannon.

There a reason your militia DS doesn't get shot down all the time, and thats because noone cares about militia DSs

Not exactly true. If there were true, then when I fire them they wouldn't take the direct path, and then angle toward them and hit a tower. Watch the path yourself - fire a few. You'll see what I mean.

good pilots are extreamly difficult to down and swarms are not as skill less as you claim. you need to know which targets you can take and when to fire.
oh dear the other team has 4 people who can make you run off.
oh no swarms are op because you always get hit by the first volley. shame it only takes 4 volleys to kill a **** fit ads.
you should actully try thosse op swarms and come back and tell us all how easy they are.

ADS can't afterburn away anymore, afterburners were nerfed massively along with the swarm speed, which means that they can't escape swarms at all

. What kind of Proto Officer Uber l337 Swarms with 1000mts lock on range are you using?Last time i Checked, once you hit a dropship once with swarm they fly away into the horizon to regenerate... Or is it that you are just a crappy pilot? Dont be ashamed. I su*k too.
The third volley is guaranteed to hit. Stop talking about how difficult it is to destroy vehicles.

You're sh!tting me right?
Don't forget Shield Operation, Shield optimization, Small Turret Operation., Small Missiles, Small missile Optimization., Getting your Assault Dropships book to 3-5 & Caldari Assault Dropship to 3-5. This is what you need in order to make a competitive ADS.
This is also minus the tweaks of Small Missile Reload, Ammo Vehicle Core Crid & Engine Core & Electronics.

It sounds like your kills/deaths is probably pretty healthy. Because yes, playing aggressively should cause you to lose your ADS a few times in a match. my issue isnt with swarms. It's with minmando swarmers. Swarms are powerful but ok. But if you add the bonuses from a minmando, its op. Originally a fully specced swarmer gets 25% lockon reduction, 15% per missile damage vs armor (4 missiles = 60%; i could be reading this wrong too though), and 15% reload speed. And I think that's fine. But with the minmando you get an additional 25% reload speed (40% total) plus 10% GENERAL bonus damage (meaning the swarm does 10% BONUS damage to shields and 25% BONUS damage to armor... if its per missile then its a total of 100% dmg to armor which seems wrong.) even if were to take the damage as volley instead of per missile, This pretty much sounds like a accelerated turret that shoots 4 missiles at a time and locks on to vehicles. I bet you if their was a turret version of this on my ADS everyone would be crying OP. Secondly, you say "They're useless against infantry. " Which does not apply to Minmando's. I've seen too many minmando's in PC killing any infantry that gets close and then switching back to swarms and going after ADS in the city. Especially on catwalks.
The one we were in maybe early this week, when they had like 4 or 5 guys at our HP, just one guy in a Minmando with swarms nearly destroyed my tank in 3 volleys. Got me to about 600 armor.

There's still the problem of invisible swarms along with non-working hit markers, so no, it's not always possible to tell where you're getting hit from. And only using MLT? You likely get shot down more often than you're letting on.
As for actually avoiding the swarm missiles themselves, which I think is what you thought I meant but didn't mean, this is also possible provided you are relatively close to structures to fly behind/around/under etc. Swarms don't have the turn radius they used to have - it's easy to "thread the needle" where they can't. Honestly.
No, it's still difficult to avoid swarms, because when I'm in a tank, they go around two corners, and skim the ground when I'm going down a slope. It's the same when I'm flying a Grimsnes. Since it's slow, all 3 volleys hit, sometimes a 4th if it's a commando carrying a pair of swarms. If it's a pair of people with PRO and 2 damage mods, I'm likely going down, because that's 6 volleys hitting within 4 seconds of each other.

All it takes to make a great forge fit is Caldari basic heavy frame at level 1 I believe, for the 3 high slots, forge operation to 5, and proficiency to 5. We could ignore the reload and ammo, plus the fitting proficiency, because all we're looking for here is damage. That's less than 2mil SP. Meanwhile for an ADS, you're looking at around 12mil SP.

Can we please stop with this victim complex?
Some of these infantry guys will cry about anything. And i do mean anything.
Soraya Xel, what has changed from hotfix delta to improve your swarm fit survivability on the ground? Presumably you should lose just as many swarm fits then as now, because you never soaked the forums in salty tears about dropships killing your swarm fit, but infantry.
To calvin B and the others that hate derpships with a passion, of course man, as long as they are red, they are the first thing i go for. There is no truce of the sky, and i will put about 360,000 of my isk, and trust in my own shaky skills as a pilot to kill anything that flies. Still, hating something does not make it OP. Swarms are still easy mode, in this you must learn to get over yourself.
To the pilots yeah we've been delt a crappy hand, and i have no faith in it ever being made right. Still, at the end of the day, it will make you better, and wiser pilots. Don't stop bringing you ideas to improve things, but we can't keep repeating our anecdotal stories, no matter how true they are.

So CCP should remove the ADS to achieve balance? Is that what you're saying?

Then kinda strap yourself into a Soma to try it out.

He probably doesn't do PC. I bet it's too hard. I do PC, but only in the noob leagues, where minmandos are rarely seen
What noob leagues? Everybody goes hard in PC all the time.

As the worst ADS pilot in the game, I have no trouble avoiding swarms. You just turn on your speed and go up to where they can't target you, and you're fine.
My only issue is knock back from the swarms, which pisses me off.

Yes.
They are not Gunships, so using an ADS as a gunship to hover over an area and kill will get you killed and they are not jets to do some strafing runs effectively or dogfight.
Only reason they came to existance was because DS pilots wanted a turret for themselves to shoot and to "hold" off the urges to any of us who wanted to fly jets like myself.
You people should also know that vehicles only have STD hulls. No proto hull. As for AV, they have Proto AV weapons.
Which of course, should shred an STD hull.
Have you tried using an STD swarm against vehicles?
Av vs Vehicles is fine as of now for what we have. We just need a good Anti-shield AV and done.
After (and if ever) ADV and PROTO hulls ever come, then and truly then the real discussion of AV vs Vehicle will start.

If you know where to fly and when to fly, you are not a horrible pilot.
Now if you are talking about maneuvers and 1v1 ADS fights, don't worry about it.
Now, I still see many ADS pilots just trying to dig themselves were they blob of enemies are at. And then wine when a swarm locks onto them.
