To address anti-shield concerns, after we add HAV progression, we will add anti-shield swarm launchers, and homing av-flux grenades, probably reduce lock on range on normal swarm launchers and add an anti-air version, most likely a single long range swarm missile to hopefully improve the rendering of incoming threats to dropships.
Would this anti-shield swarm launcher fall under the same skills? Also would it for the game logic be classified as a laser weapon (+20, -20)? yes, not sure, or hybrid, laser profile is very un-lorey
Hybrid, I'd hate for anti shield swarms to decimate shields even more.

Not "well maps."
Not "well you need to HTFU."
The balance that exists NOW matters. Balance "maybe in the future" is only a concern when relevant changes are imminent. There is no IMMINENT danger of a dozen zero-cqc maps opening up, so the map rotation in the here and now isn't going to balance the sentinel HMG combo.
Besides K4dert no one bi*ches about the sentinel/forge combo unless they're tower camping and out of reach.
That's a map problem.
The fact that the HMG tears apart an entire racial weapon line In that entire racial weapon line's optimal range. With no recourse. This is an imbalance. Saying that only maps are a factor when the HMG rendering gallente CQC killers pointless there is a problem.
The gun performs universally well on all heavy suits. Light infantry weapons cannot say the same.
In CQC there are no drawbacks to deploying an HMG sentinel. It is always the optimal choice. This is TEXTBOOK imbalance.
This meta needs to be killed with fire.
No it doesn't need to be killed by fire.
It needs to be killed with balefire.
