The swarm launcher.

How about making it do some damage to infantry???

It's the only weapon that can't do so. Yes it ls an av weapon but come on, PC is av too and can be used on infantry.

How about giving it 2 modes. When a vehicle is in its reticule, it locks on like always. When you aim down sight, it turns into a drumfire mode. It will still take 3 seconds for it to fire though. The missiles will fly straight to target. All 4 missiles will detonate and you will get kills.

Pros- acts like a quadruple mass driver, can time and shoot around corner for vehicle to run into (like plasma cannon), great for large groups of enemies, makes dust funner by adding a new way to use weapon, helps new players actually get some ohk, also keeps them alive when the run av starter fits. Lastly, it accomplishes that dream/thought all of us had when we began playing dust, that swarms were rpg like weapons (like plasma cannon)

Cons- 3 second to fire, you will kill your self if you do it to close (cqc), low ammo (3 swarms per box)
toooo much fun, not too accurate which is good and bad (good- covers more area, bad- if you don't aim to well, only some missiles will hit target and might survive.

A mass driver takes around 3 rounds to kill someone. And they do like 300+ damage.

A swarm has 4 missiles that do 300+ damage but with longer lock/fire, and lower splash damage and radius. So if it were to be made, it would be enough to kill 3-4 people per swarm. I don't really see it being too op.

yay Big smile

or nay

EDIT- put a threshold like thing that makes missiles expose after (idk) 50m. Now, it can't be too op on infantry.

Ohhh no no no no, just enought, swarms is too op now against vehicules (i'm ADS pilot, i know this stupid weapon very well) and everyday some blueberry write a post crying about the swarm and how to buff it.
Before try to fly and fight against a swarm and then, when you have lost among 3 dropships in every battle during a month you can talk about swarm.
Then, swarm is av weapon, plasma cannon and forge too, but with this two weapons the aim is manual, swarm is full automatic, just press R1 and enjoy... Would you like to use a swarm and kill infantry? Just run comando

The ONLY possible way I can see dumbfire swarms working is giving them NO splash and tons of direct damage. Even then, playing with fire. Hard to miss heavies with a giant swarm of rockets. I would say just make it like an RPG, firing a single shot, but we already have a plasma cannon. Let sleeping dogs lie. Lets not go down that route with the Swarm.

Larkson Crazy Eye WarRavens D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 64	Posted - 2015.07.13 18:22:00 - [17] - Quote My only feelings on this is, why not? Like others have said compared to the PC there isn't much difference in over all dmg. it has less splash dmg and unlike in the old days proto swarms still only fire 4 missies now. The main reason I would like to see this work in some way is because they made swarms kind of suck vs vehicles. I'm sorry but with a short lock on range, a long lock on time and mediocre dmg that requires you to hit a tank 3-4 times and most installations 6-7 has made the swarm launcher one of the worst AV weapons. Add in the problems that it has always had like slow projectile travel time and a very obvious visual que of were you are at, the swarm launcher is the worst AV weapon. You can get better results throwing AV grenades or running up and placing remotes on a tank than using the swarm launcher. So in my mind if CCP and the community wants to make the SL nearly worthless at it's job, at least make it do something against infantry. It's like if you made the nova knives have a range of 1m, but then made them do 50 dmg. If you are forced to sacrifice any kind of offensive ability against infantry to use a swarm launcher imo you should be compensated with the ultimate AV weapon.

Daddrobit You Can Call Me Daddy 1	Posted - 2015.07.13 22:59:00 - [24] - Quote Very mixed feelings on this. On one hand, I was there for the original dumbfire swarmers. There really is no comparison in the current model of the game for how unforgivably destructive those things were. On the other hand, the swarms of today are vastly different. We now only have 4 rockets max, the range is abysmal, the splash radius is way lower, and the splash damage is way lower as well. Not only that, but the general EHP of every suit in the game has been vastly increased through base suit increases, the buffing of all hp enhancers, and tiercide letting even basic suits tank more effectively. It's strange to say this, but maybe the Rat man might consider at least trying some internal testing to see if it might be viable to bring back dumb fires? O.G. Pink Fluffy Bunny

Dumb Fire Swarm Launchers were proven to be a really bad idea in the Closed Bate. How about this though: Have a Target Designator (Equipment) which would paint a target, that can then be locked onto by Swarm Launchers on the same team. The Target Designator has to be active for the Swarm Launcher to lock, so it would require two people working as a team. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.
Larkson Crazy Eye WarRavens D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 67	Posted - 2015.07.14 18:02:00 - [35] - Quote I don't know any tank that dies to a swarm launcher imo is doing something wrong, that or the whole team is chasing them and they were already hurt. It takes what 1.4 seconds to lock on to a target a few extra to fire relock, eventually you have to reload for that 4th shot. By then most tanks are gone or your dead. It takes a proto tank turret half a second to kill most infantry and you can see the swarms coming a mile away. Swarm are only really effective at driving tanks away because they fear them so much, more than actually in danger of dying.
