Why was the Swarm Launcher buffed an additional 20%! The Tank nerf was fine, but who asked for this? Forge I understand, it takes quite a bit of skill, but when you have an auto-aim tracking weapon that's basically shoot and watch, it's pretty unfair.
LAV's in particular have been hit bad. You not only nerfed tanks, you nerfed already weak vehicles, including Dropships.
I know this isn't the final word, just getting a point out there for some feedback.

I was hoping for a sizable nerf to swarm lock on range.
They did say more changes coming. We'll see |

The buff might be excesive, but with swarms it's more like lock and watch it miss (ofc, a LAV running on a plain is free kill) |

Hello Tiger,
I know what you're saying brother. I'm also a LAV driver first and foremost and I saw a difference today. But the difference I saw that there was a lot of more forge gunners around, and even before these changes they were very strong against a LAV granted that they could hit you. I didn't get hit by high level swarm launchers today so I cannot talk about that.
My personal opinion is that a skilled LAV driver should be able to dodge swarm missiles, which we can do, but it's just that the swarm missile tracking is sometimes very over the top.
Overall as a LAV driver I think it's all about speed. If we go full speed and are smart about it we are veeery hard to destroy if our car is good. But the faster we go the harder it's for the gunner a lot of times, slowing down helps but makes us more vulnerable. It's all about knowing when to go slow and when to go fast. Now I think these changes might be very good even as the LAV shouldn't be quiet the killing machine it had the potential to be earlier. Either way I'll be sticking with the LAVs.
Best regards,
Zane Hollgren |

not really the swarm launcher, how it currently stands, the missiles had terrible reach, would dud out before target or smack into random objects, and were slow. |

They finally buffed Swarms? This would please me immensely if I hadn't just taken the plunge into vehicle land. I figured the post AV nerf tank nerf was to get more LAVs and dropships on the field by making HAVs more vulnerable to the weaker AV stuff.
Why do they always mix one WTF tweak in with otherwise reasonable balance changes? |

Absolutely agreed. These guys with these militia cheap cars make all of our vehicles look bad, man. It's not a smart or effective way to use a LAV either.

As a lav driver cause I'm a fatty. Let's face it swarms always take out an lav no big deal drive faster or bail out same as always. I see no real difference run them over before they shoot you lol.
I even have a tanked up lav for those important rums and it seems the same not a significant problem |

My saga seems resilient enough for quick raids. Militia ones are free, and a deserved free kill to anyone with a Swarmer. I do miss exploding them with AV nades. But I like the lvl AV nades are at currently. I think it really depends how much you kit your stuff out. |
