Why are these posters failing at quoting lolol it's not hard xD

How can you say he sucks at trolling and then go on to give him just the type of post he was trolling for? Were you taking pity on the troll, or did he actually get you worked up?

As for the Original Post, unskilled Swarm Launcher users die quickly and die often. For more information see my guide:
Unleashing the Swarm, a guide to being effective with the Swarm Launcher

dude i always fall for troll bait....even if i know the man is trolling...ive been like that since i was a kid...... only God knows why i still fall for this stuff

This thread is no troll, swarm launchers are noob mode plain and simple.

first you suck at trolling...second the swarm is a lock on weapon.....its supposed to do that. talent....i didnt know that hitting some buttons was considered talent.....i dont care what playstyle you use....in the end its just a game...and playing a game is not talent....go back to your stupid bf3 or cod....in this game anything goes...that includes mopping up the competition with lock on weaponry....and coming soon*tm* guided bombs smart weapons and all that other good stuff that belongs in a game about war.also the swarm cant hurt infantry....everything you just cried about is invalid.

On your final point, Proto swarm launcher with damage mods a one shot kill for all LAV's 98% of the time.

Lock on. Release trigger. No talent.
Plus they turn invisible and turn corners

Personally, proto-swarm launchers make me laugh. Whenever i get hit by heavy proto swarms i just watch where they come from and use my dropships speed to fly literally right over the swarmer but be going so fast that all of his swarms are completely useless, and i make sure to let him know i know exactly where he is :P & people that SP sink that much just for swarms is pretty hilarious alone.

It is nice when player skill becomes a prominent component in balance. Proto Swarm vs Dropship is a great example of this.

Proto Swarm vs Bad Pilot = Dead Dropship
Proto Swarm vs Good Pilot = Wasted missiles

I solute you and the skilled pilots like you. I just wish the bad pilots could keep their drop ships from running into buildings before I get the kill.

Watch a well-fitted Madruger run through a pub full of newbies, then come back. Pfffft.

Do....You...Expect...People...To...Take...You...Seriously???

Also, assault forge gun master race reporting in. My AV will wreck all forms of AV in just a few hits

Thank you very much :P And i completely agree, the one thing that determines whether you will survive in a dropship (apart from random RDV's) is your skill, and my python can out-run a 2nd swarm shot any time of day, because once the first swarms hit me i have about 5-7 seconds to put my fuel injector on and speed away. But i have seen some insanely funny DS crashes as I'm shooting them down, such as the pilot trying to land ontop of a building but as he's getting out his dropship topples over the side and takes him with it, as well as while a DS is trying to run away from my proto-missle launchers he runs right into a large building.

This thread is no troll, swarm launchers are noob mode plain and simple.

Don't forget that luck is a factor too, while swarms are rarely an issue there's always that time when 1 hits you just before a forge gun or vice versa and your cackling laughter turns to a moan of dismay as your dropship plummets, or those rare cases when the knock throws you into terrain.

Well yes, when there's an AV team up on me and i get hit by 2-3 seperate AV's all at once, I can't help but say oh well, there was nothing i could really do even if i did have an all shield tanked ds, I have had that happen about only twice though, where the reason i lost wasn't because of 1 OP assault forge gun making unbelievable shots at me or railgun snipers picking me off, but instead because i had an entire team of different AV's focused on me alone.

Nobody said remove them, all I said is they are too easy to use, forgegunners that are good have talent, the best swarmer in the world is still a scrub

HAVs are easy mode....

...Because they can see over objects from the vantage point of a camera 10 m above the tank itself giving them unparalleled situational awareness. And because even though I can hear the tank, somehow my radar cannot see them until they suprise blaster kill me. And, they have infinite ammo. Ofc I could buy some fancy headphones to play the game, but I'd rather not just yet.

Make all tanks first person view, limit their ammunition, and make them detectable from 50m, and then we can talk.

To shoot at a tank with swarm launchers you must have line of sight on most of the tank. So for a blaster tank, this means you can get a chance to shoot at the swarm launcher.

I think the smart dropship pilots know how do think 3 dimensionally. The better HAV drivers I can tell, because they know how to cover their retreat with vertical barriers. I'm not a HAV pilot, but I think this is why the high-ground is that much more important for them, because if the SL rockets are coming from below them, backing jup just a bit will mean the missiles hit the ground right in front of them.

LOL line of sight, you can lock on to it behind rocks, even if the tank is behind rocks as well.

You're not a HAV pilot, so you have no idea what you're talking about from both sides of the fence, only one.

And you dont use swarm launchers...you can not lock on to people behind cover...

Well there is a way... but Im not gonna give away the secret do I?

And you dont use swarm launchers...you can not lock on to people behind cover...

LO- Seriously cut the crap people and stop using "LOL dude".
Insults show weakness in arguments.

I'm a tanker/proto swarmer.... I don't see them as easy. If you don't have a good enough sidearm your dead. DS's outrun them which makes sense right now... But will have to change when jets, super fast flying planes, are introduced. Also unlike the FG you have to step out of hiding for a couple of seconds.
Also
OF COURSE there is going to be a heat seeking weapon. At least it can't fire at infantry still. Complaining is going to do nothing. Do you really think CCP well nerf this weapon? They may do nerfs/buffs to other things that result it seeming to be nerf.

The glitches do provide an unprecedented advantage... Which well obviously be fixed soon...
If your going to complain about something, other than core flaylock, please be sure you are specced into it as well.

Go away, your posts keep getting more and more useless

Forge gun

Point
Shoot
Profit

Hmm so much skill is there.
