You have to think about it for a second, Dropships fly, turning in the air isn't exactly going to be easy, its not an LAV.
So of course the swarms are going to hit you in the air.

Think of it this way:

Swarm Vs. Dropship
YOUR GONNA GET HIT

1. Swarms are broken anyways and need to either be deleted or a big injection of aim and skill

2. Swarm missiles will set off at full speed, stop on a dime, do a 256deg turn on the spot and set off again at full speed aswell as avoiding corners

3. I like your idea

1.) Every FPS with Vehicles has lock on anti vehicle launchers. Deal with it. Good luck finding one that doesn't that isn't also set in WWII.

2.) You are artificially making it sound worse by saying 256-¦, which is impossible beyond even the exaggeration. Do you understand how degrees work?

3.) Of course you would. All you've ever expressed on these forums is your opinions of how you should be immune to AV.

Maybe the reason vehicles don't like swarms is because swarms are the only thing that kills them?
Easy fix:
Buff all other AV so they can also kill vehicles. Balanced.

have you tried a forge gun av nades are a good 'finish him' tactic if you're close enough. I have a forge gun my experience with proxies is limited no comment, remotes compared to other explosive are op~

3.) Of course you would. All you've ever expressed on these forums is your opinions of how you should be immune to AV.

Rattati i know that swarms received a increased turn radius so that quick targets could drive around a corner to evade swarms but this doesnt work with a dropship. Even a ADS is too slouggish and when you perform a turn you loose alot of momentum which basically means that swarms will still catch you due to their nature of taking the shortest way to the target.

I was able to exploit this multiple times with a LAV (cause they are actually quick eneough) or even watch how a guy that was ontop of a building firing his swarms on me just so that they hit the ground. Something needs to be done and i advocate to reduce the max flight distance from swarms to the same as their lock on range.

Where has any pilot ever said they wanted to be immune to AV?

His whole schpiel for the last week has been him proposing that Swarms should need to be manually guided, and if they lose lock, the missiles blow up. Not continue flying in the same direction they were last going, no. Just blow up if the user manages to lose track of the vehicle for even a millisecond.

That would make vehicles immune to swarms. And since vehicles can already practically ignore Plasma Cannons, AV nades and Prox mines, they would become essentially immune. There would be forge guns. That's it.

A Swarm Luncher outputs 1040-1248 damage every 1.4 seconds without factoring any Damage multipliers, just base damage.
That's a total of 742-891 DPS, depending on tier.

Currently, Plasma Cannons do 1150-1501.5 damage every 4.1 seconds, without factoring in any Damage multipliers.
That's only 280 DPS at the Standard tier, and still only 366.21 DPS at Prototype.
A PRO Plasma Cannon deals less than half the DPS a Standard Swarm Launcher does. That's ****** up.
Even if we max out every reload and charge time skill, and increase the damage as much as we can with a Gallente Commando and Damage mods...
We still only get 696.63 DPS. Still less than a Standard Swarm Launcher on any suit. This is rediculous.

So let's increase Plasma Cannons to Swarm levels of DPS (or similar).

1.) Buff Damage. By a ******* lot. An Allotek Plasma Cannon should outDPS a PRO Swarm launcher, without having to factor in any other multipliers. It just should. Period.
With this in mind, an Allotek Plasma Cannon should deal 3653.1 direct damage. That would puts its DPS on par with a Kaalakiota SL.

This would mean that an Plasma Cannon would OHK or 2-shot ANY vehicles.
Any tank would just die if they go shot in th rear.
ADSes would always instapop.
LAVs too.
And you know what? That's ******* reasonable...

The problem with this is its ridiculous compared to forge guns. Compare your dps to assault forge guns and come up with a more reasonable damage per shot for the plasma cannon.
The second problem is how little time per shot you have to expose yourself, 0.45 sec is ridiculously short and it should be possible for a tank/ads to kill u before u kill it at least 50% in 1 on 1.

Ishukone Assault Forge Gun DPS: 500
The IAFG also has a vastly superior range advantage, is techically fully automatic, has a faster projectile with no drop, and has a 4 round magazine.
Generally a lower skill requirement and longer range. Both of which make perfect reasons why they PLC should do more damage/DPS.

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about.
