Me too!
Good times. I've killed a few in close quarters as well though. It's as much about luck as it is about skill though.
Great thread btw, mostly good info/criticism/suggestions. |

Small Railguns are amazing AV weapons on tanks. Tough to use against infantry, and tough to use when mounted on something other than a tank, but awesome in the right setting.
Also, good Dropship vs. bad Swarm user WILL be nearly invulnerable even with a Militia fit. Good Swarm user can force even a good Dropship pilot to retreat, and probably destroy them if they're not using higher-tier Dropship. I actually think that's pretty well balanced. Dropships have a lot of other things going their way. |

I have flown Proto fit eryx and now one proto swarm guy can keep me a very good drop ship pilot unable to do anything that could change the battle. right now Swarm users control drop ship pilots. Fly a proto drop ship in a match where one guy has a proto swarm and he will keep you in the red zone all night long or pop you very quickly. I think any proto swarm user will agree they love drop ships easiest target in the sky. they know instantly they got at least a free ship kill.
If it was a well-fit Eryx, it was badly flown, and deserved to die. If it was well-flown, it was TERRIBLY fit, and deserved to die.
I've killed Eryxes with Militia Swarms, and I've had Eryxes get away when I'm using Proto Swarms. It depends how well they deal with the attack.
EDIT: A shooter is, by definition, an action game, and skill at the game should count at least as much as skill points and fittings. The ability for Militia Swarms to distract and confuse even a well-fitted Sagaris when supported by actually good gear is fair. So is killing an Eryx pilot who's not smart enough to run away. |

It's been one in 10 at worst for me.
Every time we get a good pilot on mic, I've been able to let them know I'm going to spawn in them. They've made a point of being where I'm going to be most useful before I even show up. In the ones where we DON'T have communication, it's probably close to the 1 in 30 figure, but those are less common than good pilots who talk. |
