3. No more weapons that require 0 aim Whatever, you know full well that a militia swarm is shrugged off by most armor, you also know that it needs to be very carefully aimed to get all missiles to hit, it obstructs your field of vision and you are very exposed while using it with only a sidearm as it has no AI capability, other than the forge and plasma cannon. I am understanding of many HAV issues, but I can assure you, there is noone listening to this in particular. It doesn't take 0 skill, but it doesn't take that much skill to ambush a HAV anyways, and seeing as you don't have to aim, you're giving it way too much credit.
Ok, reading this garbage is making me mad again about crying ADS pilots. ADS pilots, BACK OFF!
You are mad because of proto light swarms knocking you out of the air. This post was about a decent heavy weapon for vehicles that isn't an assault forge gun. If you get knocked out of the air by a forge gun then you better tip your hat and acknowledge your better (It requirements more skill than an ADS). Forge guns are tough to wield and full of trade offs that you don't understand.
A heavy version of a swarm launcher for sentinels is perfect because sentinels get eaten by vehicles, even a LAV because we can't run for cover or move around the field without our own vehicle. We have very little defense unless we switch our main gun. You have an issue with a heavy, send in a scout. Vehcile pilots should be praising heavies as the perfect balance.
Back on topic - Now a heavy swarm sounds awesome! Guided missiles on a heavy make sense especially if you add in the charge time style walking we have to do with the standard Forge Guns. (If you haven't seen that, we can barely move. The arch enemy of a heavy is a 6 inch curb.) If we had to walk around like that to get a lock, flying away would be easy. Just stroll by at half impulse and if a sentinel is proto focused on this new AV weapon, expect it to knock you out of the sky. Deal with it by out maneuvering.
Only stationary ADS are in trouble currently. If you are stationary ADS, expect to be blown up with the current swarms. Any good ADS pilot knows you always keep moving. Standing and fighting as a flying fortress was taken away. Stop QQ on these great idea posts.

Last note. With heavies in vehicles, if they get a heavy swarm launcher, don't be surprised when you see a heavy jump out of a tank that is on fire to take you out with his AV. It just is going to happen and won't be solved by keeping a gun out of a heavies hands.
