sorry to hear that you are having problems as an ADS pilot and some of what you say may be true however i personally do not believe swarms are that powerful even on a minmando
try using a light shiled booster along with a single hardener and a the best shiled extender you can fit
my python consists of these items
basic light shiled booster
basic heavy shiled extender
enhanced shiled hardener
enhanced PG mod
20GJ particle accelerator ( I use it for Arial dog fights rather then vs infantry but it can be easily switched out for a missile launcher)
I may not have too much invested into vehicles but this simple fitting is enough to do whatever I need to while having enough hp to take a few hits and being able to regen a lot faster due to the shiled booster, shields have resistance to explosives 20% reduction in fact so swarms arent doing as much damge as you might think
you may think you are a good pilot but there is always more you can learn try to improve your skill as a pilot as being a pilot takes a lot more skill then most other things, you can easily outrun swarms in an ADS if you are a good pilot and with heavy investment into vehicle skills you can do a lot more

if he should learn from anyone it should be Darth Carbonite GIO, best ADS pilot I have encountered

Yet even in such fit you have to fly away the moment swarms hit you.
I have 3 main problems with swarms
1. Their max distance is too much.
To fly 400m away everytime someone shots you is crazy.
2. Invisible swarms and not rendering players.
I have to fly as low as I can if I want SL guy to pop out. So before I can counter (kill) him, before I can see him and start shooting he can fire 1-2 volleys at me + my dropship is being thrown in every direcion.
3. Swarms are light and portable.
Why do they deal as much damage as AFG? Not only you can fit them on every suit, you have the ability to defend yourself at anytime. I understand that with FG you sacrifice quite a lot (movement, defense ability, eq). But with swarms you don't sacrifice anything, you deal as much damage if not more than with AFG, fire and forget > move on.
400m on and ads can easily be reached and surpassed if you know how to quickly pick up speed you can do this at any angle but i notice that one of the rookie mistake pilots make is that they try to turn in the way they want to escape rather then simply using their momentum to fly in that direction
invisible swarms and players that don't render can easily be countered by just listening they make quite a distinguishable sound and even if they dont render the launching of the swarms creates a flash that is noticeable even at range
swarms being light and portable, realize that a player has to dedicate one entire weapon slot just to fit it and it does about 200-300 less damge then an assault forge the difference being that swarms can be fired off slightly faster but after the first batch any consecutive vollys should be easily avoided while the FG can cause you to lose control and is harder to dodge in the hands of a skilled player however there are not many of those that dedicate their time to the FG like they used to
as a player that has had their fair share of encounters with both swarms and fg's I worry more about a fat suit using a fg then I do anyone using swarms

I did watch the video and I noticed that you hardly took any countermeasure other then turning on your hardener, not to mention that you used an armor based drop ship which are naturally weaker to swarms as well as dealing with a minmando using officer swarms any officer weapon in its own right is OP as it is so its not a surprise that the outcome was as it was
however it did take multiple volleys to even take you out in the first place so I say that's pretty darn fair

We need a flare module, with cooldown and everything.
read the swarm launcher description it wouldn't matter and it wouldn't make sense
