I have been using the proto swarm since the respec, but I have recently gone back to the militia to save ISK. Anyways...
I have noticed that the militia Swarm missiles seem to be better than the proto version in key areas. They seem to go over obstacles better, such as doing 90 degree turns and 'jumping' over walls and hills. It also seems that they lock on more reliably, sometimes through objects. Though the craziest thing is that they head to there target faster, this is because they stall less when doing turns.
Anybody else notice this phenomenon? Now I feel like a scrub for using the proto version ;_; |

You're experiencing Cheap Bastard Syndrome.
Now that you see how cheap gear can be, you'll do anything to convince yourself to stay a cheap bastard. |

No, I have been killing a lot of Dropships, though, this is odd because in my experience with proto, my missiles usually can't even catch up. Plus I have seen my missiles do crazy maneuvers that I never saw in all my time with proto. |

A theory; because militia has 4 missiles vs the proto's 6, it is able to do more aerodynamic maneuvers. |

As a tanker, I highly recommend you spread the word about this. Militia swarms are much better than proto swarms and therefore NOONE should spec into protos...
On a side note, I've noticed that as an armor tanker flux grenades are my bane, so maybe more AVers should consider using fluxed instead of actuall Av 'nades... |

I dabbled in Proto stuff for a while, not worth it.
Sadly, Cost =/= Efficacy

Yeah, go for 4 complex damage mods instead. P.S AV grenades do more damage to shields than flux now.
