A/V is to strong and I'll tell you why.
Let's just say in that Swarm launchers are 100% Balanced. One thing the swarm launcher has is a charge up time or a Lock on time a time before it shoots which is about 2 seconds, then it has a time before it can lock on and shoot again which is about 4 seconds, then it has a reload time of about 6 seconds and in all it would take about. 4 lock ons 2 Time in between shots and 1 reload to shot 4 shots.
Time to shoot 4 swarms
(2X4) + (4X2) + (6X1)= 24 Second (this isn't accurate but it's an estimate)

Now AV nades have no charge up time, do roughly the same damage as swarms, no wait time in between shots, time to get another grenade to throw 2 seconds.
Time to throw 4 A/V grenades
4X2=8 seconds

Now the perk of Swarms Long distance.

Perks of A/V thrown fairly far for a granade.
Thrown around corners/ Over walls
Virtually inexhaustible when you have a nano hive
Fast fire rate
High Damage per second
Granade slot so you can run a light weapon
stays on the ground for 5 second until ran over
So much more but i'm sure you've seen enough to know there's a problem with them.

then what is even the point of that button you press on top for the arming action? seriously, i know people want to balance everything...but come on, if you're having AV issues, stick with your infantry support

CCP to Balance this weapon you should put a 3 sec Arming timer on so yes you can throw grenade over and over again but you should have to arm it so it take longer so you can fire at the same speed of forge and swarms
