For the 900th time, ive got yet another solution to fix the imbalance. We all know the issue, infantry is too effective with av and vehicles arnt effective enough with anti infantry. Infantry in able to use peek a book tactics and hide behind obstacle. Vehicle have to attempt to run or hide. But even when you do hide the missles track you behind cover and hit you at a 90 degree angle literally.

So to offset this severe disadvantage i propose a very simple solution. Make the swarm launchers a heavy weapon to hinder movement slightly. We have heavy militia suits already, just equip it with a standard scrambler and other basic militia type stuff and there you go. Now they cant ninja everywhere. They'll even have more h.p, and any AV weapon should be classified heavy anyway.

Im not saying the swarm launchers are over powered, theyre not. They are just far too effective and imbalanced. I am merely trying to balance the game out. Makes sense to me that they are listed as heavy anyway, damn things look heavy enough.

Im seeing a reading comprehension issue.

Am I the only person who thinks it fine now. Badly built tanks get spanked and will built ones dominated and need teamwork to take down which is how it should be

meh lock on weapons are easy mode
especially when u can acquire locks behind cover and poke out and fire and get back in

Noc made a nice post in the feedback section on how swarms should be re-designed to take some skill cuz right now its ez it does most of the work for u

especially when u can acquire locks behind cover and poke out and fire and get back in

Can someone tell me where this myth started ... Swarm Launchers CANNOT aquire locks without line of sight.

From the vehicles perspective it might seem like it does ... but the SL is a shoulder mounted weapon so you might only see the head of the user over a wall or hill, but he has line of sight from cover ... in my experience you are much more exposed than that before you can see over the hill and start aquiring a lock.

If you think lock on weapons are easy mode ... then give me the same weapon direct fire but you'd have to double or quadruple the velocity of the missiles or it would never hit anything ... you'd see them coming and have time to make a brew before deciding which direction to go to avoid them.

Have you even tried using them against anything other than a militia LAV ? Next time there's a HAV on the field ... YOU get a swarm out and hunt it till it's dead ... see how "easy mode" you think it is then.

This.

You tankers need to stop whining.

lolwhining

i will give FGers props because they actually need to aim and get in position to get a shot off
Swarms take 0 skill just fire and forget
and it def can lock onto u through cover because i do it as well

swarms are perfect!
DONT MESS WITH THEM!!
if there was a somethin like a smoke screen or flare that tanks could use to FLEE from me that would be acceptable...
i suppose...

Iv advanced swarms with 3 complex damage mods on an assault type B suit.. That's enough sp to do whatever i want.
