With either Uprising 1.0 or 1.1 (think it was 1.0), the speed of missiles from tanks and installations was increased significantly, and now they make a very satisfying noise as they go towards you. +1 for this, I think everyone is happy.
But now the question turns to swarm launchers:
-They require a lock-on time, unlike any of the other batteries or the other hand-held AV weapons.
-Tradeoff - They track your target
However, the time-to-target is significantly slower than then other handheld AV weapons, they cannot be dumb-fired or used against personnel, and due to the mobility of LAVs, some tanks and drop ships, it is easy to maneuver behind cover and avoid incoming missiles that have already been fired.
Rather than increasing damage or reducing lock time, or making the swarms into some kind of dumb-fire AV/anti-personnel weapon, here's my suggestion"
Should swarms have their missile speed increased?
Is the speed fine the way it is?
Should they be slowed even more?
What do you guys think? |

I think SL are probably the most balanced weapons in the game.
Only people who drive about in full LAVs without spenting the 5000 isk or so sticking extra buffer complain about them
I miss lots of kills with my SL because some people know how to buff and drive.
SL punishes poor/foolish drivers.
I agree that SL punishes poor/foolish/cheap LAV drivers, but so do Plasma Cannons and Forge guns... and their damage is near-instant. LAVs, particularly logi-lavs, are tanked like crazy. Shouldn't time-to-target be improved to counter this? |

Too invisible - Cant see them half the time Hmm, I could totally see this as the description of LAV's 
Yeah, no kidding.... how can something as large as a LAV not appear on your radar until it runs you over!?! |
