I've been useing the swarms more recently and I must say I'm glad I speced into them they aren't useless anymore and recived a spead increase so they can actualy catch dropships (or everyone I was shooting at was going slow) and splash dammage upgrade they are now an effective av against all hostile armor however I have two problems with it:
1: the ejection of the swarms is rather random and if you are standing next to something there is a 75% chance they will curve into the closest wall/hill/pillar of rock/mountain and either explode or 'stick' for lack of a better term
fix: while I do not know if the 'Jacks' used in one of the trailers are actualy swarm launchers (they looked to be nonlock on rockets making me think they may be something else) their flight path was strait forward making right for the target instead of curving in a random direction before 'locking' onto the target and moving towards them and the swarms may be easyer to use this way.
2:the lock on for the swarm launchers sometimes locks onto hostile armor when it is behind something ,mostly hills, or if there is even the smallest sliver of it visable missleading you and making you waist ammo in maps with low visability(spelling?).
other then that I've no problems with it as always anything my fellow dusters have experianced in this or have to add is wanted.
Edit: I am now aware of this and it may be the 'jacks' I was speaking of above:
[REQUEST] Swarm launcher - distinctive variants Update: There is work being done on a new type of launcher system that is very distinct from the swarm launcher and will require more skill to use.

I'm using advanced swarms
and what I suggested here are just some problems with the SL flight path not sure why you are saying I'm making it more of a threat could you explain? |

You can make swarms deal up too and this using the Prototype swarms mind you, with 2 complex damage mods so your light weapon damage is 1.21%, weaponry 5 and Swarm Launcher Pro. at 5 that the over all damage, that will be 2070.1 damage and say you was facing a tank with2 15% armor resistors which adds up to 27.5% resistances and about 8357worth of armor and no more than 1500 shield, the first shot/volley would take off the tanks armor to a total of 5717.6 that is not adding in the shield though so keep in mind and I'm to lazy to add that into the match part. Regardless take a little time out of the day to do a little math in game with some gear if you want the best out come for your weapons.
thank you for the tips this is however not what this thread is about and I'm not sure why you have posted this here |
