Many don't like the Swarmers, I'm one of them.
Make a single fireing "javelin" type. This will have an armour piercing rocket/missile and fire straight. It will have a direct hit dammage of lets say from 500-1500 depending on balance calculations done by somebody that can be bothered to do it, like an CCP employee. No splash dammage, making it useless vs infantery. Its basically a normal kind of fps rocket launcher that is meant as a pure AV weapon.
Its strenght is relatively high dammage and the ability to shoot at vehicles when you have terrain/infrastructure at your sides, the drawback is that you can't fire from behind cover as you can with the swarmers. This "javelin" could also be unlockable, (btw this will make it a rocket, not a missile) making the gunner rely on skill to make the shots hit their target. This will make hitting a moving LAV or flythingy quite hard, even hitting a moving HAV at a distance could be quite tricky.
So, back to basic, agreed? |

To clarify:
The Forge gun can only be used by heavies - and that in itself is not a problem for me. It is however a problem since many of us would rather watch a Bieber consert than actually crawl around at such a low movement speed. That is a major point for the swarmers, it can be equipped to a scout suit wich with for example a +12% movement speed module, haveing at least some chance to chase and finish of an escaping tank.
I just would like a weapon like that, (like the swarmers) without the cartoonish ballistic trajectory. It could be as easy as just adding 4 new (although be it a little contradictory to the term "swarm") "single fire swarm launchers", one for each tier.
The removal of splash dammage is there for obvious missuse- and balance issues, the insane swarmer trajectory were implemented (I think) purely so that it wouldn't be as easy to use it vs infantery as the OP days of the first beta build, this is just another way of getting the same result. You could still kill infantery with a direct hit, with lets say a 20m minium range for the wathead to arm itself. I have to admit that my inspiration come from todays armor piercing javelin anti-tank rounds, wich is with a little help a way of explaining why there is no splash dammage. Its basically a futuristic armor piercing spear.
Simply put: I want a direct-hit AV weapon that can be carried by others than the heavies. Thats not too much to ask now is it?

[quote= Little to no splash as it's an implosive AV warhead. Single fire only, perhaps make it light, like the Swarmer.[/quote]
