I don't have the equipment to record video and I'm not going to set up a camera in front of my tv.
To evade swarms you need to learn to keep moving and don't hover. Use your momentum to swing into position and then swing away. If you know where swarms are then don't go near there.
Also, the Python is better against swarms. Shields take less damage from swarms. A shield booster eve. Works great on an Incubus because it gives you a freebie warning shot then buffers the next shot as you fly away.
In an Incubus, I don't even have an AB usually. I have a scanner and scans can help infantry tske out the swarmer. If you learn to fly mainly using your roll then add a little yaw to that you can fly quickly in a direction rather than float into a direction with just yaw. Quickly roll to the side and then yaw so that you do a quick 180-¦ and fly away.
I don't always evade, but when I do it's because I know where the swarmer is generally operating and work around that area, keeping distance.

The first and sometimes second volley doesn't even load until the next onw is already on its way. Lag makes it harder to get away from. This is especially true if you fly xloser to the location than away for some reason. I guess just like with infantry fighting, the more that has to render, the more lag.

I don't always evade, but when I do it's because I know where the swarmer is generally operating and work around that area, keeping distance. Useful information to be sure, all of which I'm intrinsically aware of. However, this isn't "dodging" swarms as some forum dreamers seem to think is a thing. Running away isn't an evasive maneuver.
Running away is the very definition of an evasive maneuver and I don't think literally dodging is what people are talking about. More like "dodging" the damage. You know, like "surfing" the Web. If by dodging one means having the swarms hit something else then flying low and getting right behind a building works; Something I rarely do. It's easier to fly away and then circle back around. However, I like to think of "not getting close to the swarmer's area of operation" to be dodging.
