And I'll show u another view on it, as a dropship pilot I see SML's alot and even got one (not proto but serves fine to learn it's mechanics) and now they are way overpowered... U don't have any ECM, u don't have an AB to burn away and avoid them, the only thing that worked for me(excluding kite & rep solution which is terribly wrong) is a nano caldari dropship when U dive right under them and get only splash damage, but u still get it, though I'm only mastering caldari ships, and with my top-line equipped gallente dropship(can't be nano because of the armor tanking) I had to go for dual rep kite\reping settup to be able to withstand damage of 2-3 of them from random newbies selected Militia Heavy Suit and spawn right behind me... Lock won't be lost if you targeted anything and it has flew\ride away(it won't work for tanks most of the time because of obstacles but for dropships in air it works fine) missiles will hunt you down in 95% of cases you just have to find a way to survive not avoid them...
You don't get any alerts about SML targeting or firing taking in account that u need a view of target for a couple of seconds it makes it even more deadly so u always have to look from 3rd person to see if someone shoots swarm, because it's too late to start moving after you get first hit in most cases.
And it can target you almost from half of the field in Communication it's easier in Biomass as higher obstacles gives less points to aim for my ship... And Plateaus map is also an easy shot for SML's it's bigger though but have a lot of turns and buildings where you can hide long enough to target and fire...
So for know it's OP AA gun though it can target HAV's & LAV's as well and even create some serious problems for em coupled with the forge gun heavy, as well as FG can do alot of damage to DS but avoided much easier... And you still want it to be boosted? Relax there shouldn't be any OP weapons no matter how much you love them they should fit in a role they are made for and SML is more then doing it's job as you can judge from the rest of this post ...
I hope for, and there is rumored to be more air classes so you'll have your SML fun with air units and that's what it's made for... |
