Swarm Launcher + militia vehicles = more valuable kills.
Quit trying to use it as a shotgun and actually try locking the vehicles with it. Once you understand the missile paths and quit trying to blow up innocent walls it's only 2 shots to kill a milita HAV. The tracking after lock on is great - target gets a chance to use clutter to avoid missiles, shooter doesn't have to be a perfect shot. If I can pop vehicles from half way across the maps with the default swarm launcher set-up (no gunnery skills yet - still working defensive skills), then it can't be too badly broken.
TL:DR Quit trying to spam the dumbfire shots at soldiers - that's what an SMG is for, the swarm launcer is for stuffing a cluster of missiles up a tail pipe and laughing at the carnage. |

Or while you line up on the targets with your forge gun I can fire on 2 dropships trying to escape the AO, and 2 LAV's, and have time to have already moved by the time the missiles hit and the surviving targets start looking for the anti-vehicle soldier. |

Bull - 2 shots with the swarmer to make the kill, 3 with the forge.
I'm starting to think that you are just so pissed off that your cross map anti-infantry weapon isn't the best weapon in the game anymore (it wasn't) that you just want it yanked. Or mebbe you are comparing a militia swarmer and a higher grade forge gun.
That or you are one of the pilots pissed off because you couldn't escape my missiles with your erratic flight patern like you can a forge gun round......... |

Besides - Dust needs to keep the swarm launcher because it's the only blatantly Caldari weapon we have. (can any Eve player argue the point that when you see a swarm launcher fire you don't automaticly think Caldari tech?) |
