My biggest beef with swarm launcher is their range. I wish there were images of map available so I can draw them, but I've had people up in the mountains shoot me, where only a sniper might be able to take them out. It doesn't matter how much I back up or move, they'll just continue to follow me.

So basically if I'm in an open field, I'm royally screwed. Even if I do manage to survive, I'm basically trapped. I can't move back out in the open again because I'll get shot at, and while I'm sitting, the enemy is approaching me with AV grenades and forge guns.


Just take Battlefield's lead with tanks. A lock on rocket launcher with no counter to it is just lazy. At least make it guided (you have to manually maneuver the rocket after you shoot it).

Basically tanks cannot DODGE AV attacks. Forge guns are instant rocket launchers essentially. Again, swarm launchers are lock on rocket launchers. When you take away all the sci-fi away from it, it's just very newbie friendly. There's no timing involved with the rockets, no accounting for gravity.

Make the swarm launchers slow moving, but powerful guided missles.
Make the forge guns either very fast or instant lasers, but low damage.

These two things will also balance them against dropships as well (a good pilot could probably dodge the guided missles, although with skill you could also hit them, and the forge guns will definitely drive away, but not kill a dropship in about two shots).

Get rid of AV grenades, as it basically allows anyone to become AV. Being AV should be a tradeoff or sacrifice, you shouldn't be able to kill infantry and vehicles, you need to have weaknesses. Instead force people to get up really close to the tank with the remote detonators if they really want to eat their cake and have it too.
