We would not be able to deal as much damage to dropships and LAVs if proto forge guns were removed, so the prototype versions of those vehicles would have to be removed as well. However, that still leaves proto railguns, proto AV grenades, proto swarms and proto missile launchers. Your idea isn't necessarily bad, but it would affect balance across the board.

You are all very bad at what you do. Get a stock sic a and snjpe him off from 600m away while someone paints him. Problem solved.

If you think forge guns are OP, then you've never used one.

You ARs won't stop until this game is AR only.

Although you got a 1+ i still believe that a team shouldn't have to spend a whole match trying to take out a HAV, maybe at least 2 people with av should be able to take out a tank, i have done this with my squad where my teams tank forced a strong enemies railgun tank to use his rep, once his rep was on cool down and the tank retreated to its redline my role was to finish him off with my assault dropship, this is the type of teamwork needed to take out tanks, but i believe that a whole "team" effort makes your point sound silly as your basically saying you want tanks to be op......

As a forger let me lay down some tactics for you all to counter a heavy up high. Obviously most of you are not clever enough to think of this yourself.

Drop ship. You have two options. First option is throwing on an afterburner and fly to the ceiling from your red line. Then either dive bomb to the tower and then jump to land on target OR halo drop onto platform. You can control your decent with left joy stick in the air (do not hit dampened until your on target).

Option two, use two drop ships, one to distract forge while other comes in from behind. Though I understand how difficult this is to organize a combined effort to neutralize a target. Nubs. Biggest mistake I see from people in drop ships is that you all fly right at us like idiots and then cry that we can take you out before you get to us.

SNIPE. One or two well placed snipers can keep a forge gunner from being effective. Even if you can't kill him out right, you will annoy him enough to keep him from tracking targets and force him to leave.

Orbital strike. CCP fixed the OBs so you can hit high ground. If there is a skilled gunner who cannot be removed in any other way, then OB him and this uplink.

As for damage against infantry. 75% of my kills with forge are direct shots with a couple of shots being headshots. Why people stand still is beyond me, especially when you know there is a forge gun around. You are asking to be an easy target. You treat a forge like a sniper, always move and in unpredictable ways. This is an anti material weapon. It should kill everything out right. Everything within the forge gun (suit included) is balanced. I do not cry when I'm forged myself as I know how difficult it is.

The forge gun should NOT be touched UNTIL CCP rebalance the entire vehicle department. The only vehicles that are difficult to take down are LLAVs because of their speed and madrugers when built right and in the hands of good tankers. Drop ships have always been weak to forge guns regardless of teir, so stop crying about the gun. Ask CCP to give some good love to the derp.
