Okay, to be fair, Swarms need a nerfbat ******* BAD.

They require the least skill of any weapon in this game, and are the most dangerous.

If this game had ANY logic to it's design, Plasma Cannons would be the most powerful AV. Instead, Plasma Cannon users have to deal with an arc AND slow projectile speed, and their reward for getting hits despite those is to do a pitiful amount of damage while some skill-less Swarm user just holds down R1 three times and then waits through a short reload before doing that again until he runs out of ammo.

I see you've never used swarms. It does take skill. If you don't time your shots just right the pilot will simply run off quickly, regen, and come back for another round. Plus swarms barely scratch shield tanks, even at proto. So unless the pilot is an idiot, or you coordinate your attack with another av player, vehicles can be on the verge of invincibility. Why are we even having this conversation again? Wtf

It would make battles between vehicles and AV last longer which means more fun 3. It would give vehicles more of a place on the battlefield 4. I am a pilot and i think this is best for all the AV users in the game i see what you did there Amidst the blue skies A link from past to future The sheltering wings of the protector

Why are we even having this conversation again? Wtf I have Wyrkomi Swarms with Proficiency and run them on a Caldari Assault with Damage Mods. I use them against pilots that I know by experience are very good at what they do, and no matter what they do they cannot evade them because they even fly outside of their supposed 400 meter max range. Since the newest buffs to Swarm Launchers, I have never brought one into a match without getting several kills. They are easymode incarnate and require no ability on the part of the player using them. Amidst the blue skies A link from past to future The sheltering wings of the protector
