why the slow swarms ccp what use is it if a dropship can just fly away i understand flying behind a structure to block the shot but out running them just by moving is lame and too easy to do as most new players cant use forge guns so you just sit there and die due to no chance of shooting any good dropship down i find matches a no win with those in the air considering the lack of firing speed and ammo of the swarms and don't even bother. It is just a kill farming machine and I feel like the only chance of connecting a shot is if they stop the hav is slow and can be killed but the dropships speed makes it unstoppable as you can shoot while moving and have close to no cover from the sky i am sure others feel the same way but its just my opinion and feel free to voice yours in case i am wrong |

Swarm launchers aren't a weapon. They're a beacon that lets the entire enemy know that you only have a sidearm and need to be put out of your misery. |

I find they work great for luring Shotgun and AR guys into my SMG's preferred range.
EDIT: Not bad for supporting fire against HAVs, or for trashing LAVs either. |

I've spent the last few weeks using the swarm launcher as a training tool. I've improved my gun game quite a bit because I only have a pistol. Also, like the previous poster said, other people don't take you seriously, so they just run right into the path of your sidearm.
Blowing up scrub buggies with the swarm launcher is just a side benefit. |

Swarms aren't meant to be used as a tool to dominate Drop Ships. They're meant to take out ground based vehicles.
If you want all AV all the time, take up Forge Guns. |

nothing like being in a slow easily killed monstrocity that will still get one shot by a missile to make you feel like the game is working properly. |

O.o I've had no problem taking out dropships lately maybe because I haven't been using militia or perhaps new players using them who knows |

Missiles have limited range now, which means Dropship pilots have to fly closer, which in turn means they make themselves easier targets. |

Someone's turning their own thoughts of how things are ment to be into concrete fact !
Since when we're swarms not AV and solely AGV (I'm guessing you're calling it).
The fact they screw with the flight characteristics far too much and the damage inflicted by swarms or forge needs balancing further, but that's what we're here to do ... provide data and feedback for CCP to adjust these things, rather than telling them what their weapons are and aren't ment to be for. |
