The moral of this story is that all tanks can be absurdly strong but you have to put a crapload of points into it.

Just like in EVE just because you have the minimum amount of skill to get into one doesn't mean you should. Train up your tanking skills, toss in some resist mods as well as just extenders or plates, get a repper of some sort and you'll find that vehicles are alot stronger than you think. Not to mention most of the time vehicles are support units they aren't meant to be weapons of mass destruction that roll entire teams alone, work with your team cover them and have them cover you.

you need a heavy damage mod for a swarm launcher to do more damage.

HAVs are a menace, but either they sit silently in a corner shooting at snipers or they chase infantry around with a blaster, which gives infantry a good opportunity to strike back. What's seriously messed up is the way forge guns and Dropships interact. My dropships have about 6.5 eHP, which is 3 shots from a forgegun, or, measured in the time it takes to take it down: 5 seconds (measured from the impact of the first shot to the boom at the third). Ain't that the truth. My 6.2 eHP Eryx (about 700k ISK), got two shotted by a forge gunner jus earlier today. By the time the first shot hits you don't even have time to make any real evasive maneuver before the second shot puts you down. More HP, less DPS for medium and heavy vehicles would make everyone much happier. It's never fun to get blindsided, especially in a game where you have to "pay" for every piece of equipment.

Nope. Swarms are light weapons.
