Flying my DS when all of a sudden, I hear the *Whoosh* of Swarms chasing me down, I turn a sharp corner hoping they'd hit the towers, and they still manage to hit me 
Is there some special technique to shaking Swarms? |

Thats the only way to avoid Swarms?
I was hoping backflips or barrel rolls would shake them, or something cooler.

Ditto, the one main countermeasure for DS pilots right now are active afterburners. |

Swarm missiles seem to know where you are even when you are obscured and they track right to you ignoring terrain.
So the trick is to put an obstcle between you and the missiles while they still have time to alter their course to fly through/into the terrain to target you.
If you turn a corner too late the missiles will miss turning into the terain, then turn to track you.
Don't wait until the last moment. |

You must get behind an object while they are still far away they don't have a realistic AI like in batman where he shakes the missiles chasing him. They are annoyingly accurate. |
