Hi folks,
Has anyone tried swarms since this morning's hotfix?
What're your impressions?
It might just be me, but they seem to be a bit slower & still insist on trying to queue behind a dropship.
Also, has their damaged been nerf'd as well?
Might just be my perception, as I was expecting them to have received a bit more love.
Cheers, |

Do seem to be slower, don't seem to turn faster, do seem to love crashing into whatever is next/above/behind/under you more now when letting them loose |

that's what they have always done.
a tank could be to my right and i will fire them straight in the air and they will go left into a wall. |

I've tried em tonight and they're still bad.
I could be wrong, but I do feel they are slower and more dimwitted than usual. |

I tried it twice on a DS : 2 hit, with another swarm and a forge --> DS down !!!
Seems to turn faster, that's all I can say ...
And now, DS need flairs, or they won't have a long life... |

The hot-fix only changed the turn speed of swarms, not their broken tracking mechanics (that will probably require more than a simple hot fix) |

A hotfix can only accomplish so much. The swarm launcher has to be revamped and that requires a new build. |

they still fly around corners and then hit my tank. Just annoying when you are 20m behind a corner just to realise that you get hit by swarms that the enemy shot at you 5 mins ago. |

So both sides of broken are still broken.
Good to know they need to fix the parts that go well for the swarms as well as the times they're working against their user. |

They don't seem to be any better.
When they're following a dropship in a straight line behind it, they're too slow.
When they're flying at a dropship that is flying at them, they still swerve to avoid it and follow from behind.
When a dropship turns slightly, missiles make a little bit more effort to keep up, but still miss by a longshot.
Even my LAV is avoiding them more easily. |

I have yet to see a single swarm go straight at a mountain then decide to curve around it, I have seen them launch from the side and follow a tank around the corner ( isn't that what they do.. track ) |
