Is it just me or is blind fire with Swarm Launchers b0rken as ****?
I've got a scout with a swarm fit that I use to get behind tanks and spam them with swarms without locking so I don't waste those 5 seconds since the tanks is dead in front of me. Yet when I fire, the rockets seem to just explode before hitting the tank since I do no damage. And I don't see the visual confirmation that they actually hit the tank, more like they exploded in front of them.
Prior the Precursor build they seemed to have worked better, or at least 75% of the time. Now, I haven't got them to work once.
Before you guys troll me, here's the scenario:
I had a panicked tank driver drive up a hill and get stuck in the terrain, I walked up next to him, literally bumping him. I fired twice, I saw explosions surrounding the tank and yet his shields didn't move _one_ pixel. |

I have experienced the same thing. I don't even use blind fire anymore. Furthermore, the swarm rockets like to do anything but go towards the target you are aiming at. If you are in a tunnel and aim directly at a target, they like to go sideways and hit the walls for no good reason. It seems like they got the weapon dynamics backwards. |

need to stand back abit they tend to spread at launch then move into a focal point about as big as your sights when zoomed in.
also using ADS seems more effective in blindfire mode |

swarms got given an arming time i think to stop people using them like shotguns.
cant stand to close to shoot something, the missiles havent armed their detonators yet. |

I'd just be happy if they would stop dumbfiring themselves when I'm too fast on the draw for a second lock on shot. I've had super tanks with one hit left escape my grasp because of it. |

What? That's just stupid. Give them smaller blast radius not arming time. I want to shove swarms down the barrel of a tank. This just makes killing tanks even harder... again... |

I have seen this too but not consistently...sometimes it works fine ...other times it seems it does not want to fire...I blind fire a lot and they blow up 75% of the time. I am usually a couple meters away. For it not working all the time, I have not had this issue. |

Its been like that since last build the swarms spread out then come togeather at a focal point maby 20m away from fireing point |
