1) Lock-on time relative to profile (shield HAV > Armor HAV > Armor LAV)
2) Swarm/Lock-on alert in vehicles (after swarm is launched, optionally)
3) Slightly faster swarms Number 2 would help to know you're about to get hit, but wouldn't help you dodge the almost undodgeable swarms, and number 3 would make it worse, unless they took forever to turn. I'm going to have to disagree on number 2. I don't always know about swarms until they are about to hit. Adding a lock notification would give me a few extra seconds to consider ways out. A few seconds can be the difference between losing your vehicle and keeping it.
Also, I've heard mention that CCP might nerf the turn-radius-of-doom, which makes dodging swarms a possibility (not necessarily in a tank, though). |

I feel like swarms are scarier for my Gunnlogi than my Myron. The Myron, I see swarms and tell my gunner where the guy is, and then go sit on his face for a while until he's dead. In the Gunnlogi, I throw on a shield hardener and back away. |

My passive-tanked Sica can run through a good few Swarms even from Advanced Launchers, get close, and gun down the shooter more often than not. If there are multiple targets with Swarms, or if I'm up against a Forge Gun, then there will be trouble. But a single Swarm guy is an easy enough target. I guess I generally see swarms in groups. They just feel like they hit the tank harder than the dropship. Is speed tanking a thing in Dust? |
