While I've always thought the FG was far too easy to use (as a long time FGer myself), it's kind of asinine to expect one of the heavies 2 weapons to be nerfed right now.
We don't have options. We are FORCED to do this by CCP.
This is CCPs lack of complete game design, not player habits, considering the FG is being used exactly how it's been used for over a year now.
This is CCPs failure at developing a balanced, diverse environment, and little more. |

It's like 1.75 seconds per shot or something like that.
Changes the FG needs:
Slightly more shake on charge up (this I'm not positive of, the Assault can be tough to use on moving targets as is, but it might be fine)
Assault FG damage swapped with Normal FG damage (lower base damage, higher overall because of RoF)
Slightly less splash radius
Damage decay on projectile, to help dropships, punish FG sniping, and discourage camping. |

I've been a dedicated forge gunner for over 6 months on and off.
I know all too well how easy FG sniping is. |

on even ground or up close this is extremely difficult
Can't argue there, I love getting FG kills in CQC or when the enemy has a better position.
You've got to admit though that FG sniping from an elevated position is a tad too good / reliable. Making it harder to do couldn't really hurt that much. I mean, Swarm Launchers can't even be used vs Infantry, and that's the other real AV weapon (not counting lolVnades or the lul cannon) |
