First off i have been playing since closed beta,

If you were ever a pilot, you'd know it's not easy.

and have done just about every role i could in this game.

See above about piloting.

You mentioned that you were being attacked by a single swarmer how do you know that was so?

A single swarm dishes out thousands worth of damage in 3 volleys. The only way you're able to tell it's multiple people is when you blow up within 2 seconds.

it take 3 seconds to lock

One of the biggest lies I've ever seen here about the "difficulty" of using AV. MLT swarm lock-on is 1.4 seconds. At level 5, it's just slightly longer than one second. The math has been done.

bout 1.5 to reestablish lock box and another 3 seconds to relock to fire another swarm volly plus flight time,

See above, stop lying.

thats roughly about 7-8 seconds in between vollies,

See above, stop lying.

the shield booster takes a second for it to pulse and restart recharging the shields.

The recharge stops if the vehicle takes damage.

i do not know how you fly

That's because you're not a pilot.

but i have 2 different fittings the python and the myron

Clearly not.

that i use one for troop transport and battle platform where i depend on my gunners to target ground troops and i just worry about flying.

Swarms still annihilate shield ships.

my python is more of a glass cannon

It's far more glass than cannon.

which i use to cover my squad mates on the ground, once AV appears my squad moves in and takes them out if possible

Assaults have a sidearm, heavies have a sidearm, scouts have a sidearm and cloak, commandos have 2 light weapons, logis are screwed except for the Amarr.

but at that point im already out of the hot zone.

No you're not, because swarms have a max range of 400m.

There have been times when I think im out of the hot zone just to be pegged by more AV.

See above

You also mentioned that tanks shouldnt have to fear AV then what would the role of AV be?

AV should be a deterrent. There's a big difference between accessing PRO AV with a little over 1mil SP, and accessing complex vehicle mods with 12mil SP. Also a huge ISK difference.

Its anti vehicle, it is supposed to be a threat it is supposed to make vehicles back off,

Swarms have a max range of 400m, as well as ignoring hills and obstacles.

but killing them 100% of the time every time no and thats where player skill comes into play.

My experience matters little in the face of PRO AV.

My AV fit is a proto minmando with 2 proto swarms and a repper.

And you still can't destroy vehicles? Looks like the problem isn't OP vehicles or weak AV.

i stick as close a possible to my squad and act a a medic since the only thing can hurt are vehicles but in return my squad tries to keep reds off of me while i rep them and in turn when a DS/ADS or tank shows up i protect them. since that suit is nothing but AV why shouldnt i be able to keep a vehicle back if not destroy it depending on skill of pilot/ AVer?

You rep blue dots in a commando suit? Again, your problem isn't OP vehicles or UP AV.

I agree that people who camp roof tops suck

[Getting the high ground isn't fair? lol[/i]

( i admit i do it from time to time but only do it when im bored and with forge gun to practice aiming at moving targets)

It's essential to locking down objectives, and denying ground and air vehicles.

but how is that any different than corps that run nothing but proto gear?

Infantry can hack objectives, and their suits cost less than a well-fit vehicle.

proto scouts? Snipers in red lines? just because you feel that its bull **** it dosent make it so.

A cloaked scout that can fire 2 shotgun rounds before the cloak drops is little risk, all reward. A redline sniper that's really far in the redline is little risk, all reward.

i Admit im not the best pilot or tanker

Seems you're not a pilot at all.

( i can keep my DS/ADS alive longer than i can a tank)

See above-mentioned 400m swarms.

but i find it that when i get killed it because im not paying attention or just being a derpy derp,

Doesn't matter if you are or aren't paying attention, a pair of Minmandos is kicking out far more than enough damage to destroy a vehicle in 4 seconds.

What "Tank 514" are you talking about?

if a tank is only for AV what is the point of a tank if it cannot be used as force multiplier? just to cruise around, destroy some installations and do nothing the rest of the game?
