Why would anyone use an assault forgegun then?

Auto-firing is enough of a downside.

No

I'm sorry you spec'd into a weapon that is so versatile that you can't actually handle every situation.

Please have a tissue.

God no, the only, I repeat only thing that needs fiddling with on the AFG is its charge up time, what it is now is much better than it used to be. If anything should be changed on that weapon it's that.

Let me guess - Someone touched you with a forge, and since you're a pro, it's OP and needs a nerf.

I've taken out plenty of forge gunners with my LR. Get a bit of high ground and you're golden. But, of course, this might go against your gameplay style, so let's make everything work around your AR.

It's a forge gun, it's supposed to do high damage, the issue comes with it's rate of fire where it's putting out a ridiculous amount of shots in a short time, the current charge up time on it is somewhere between 2-2.5 seconds if I remember right, it used to be with maxed skills 1.8 seconds charge up time, they were ridiculously OP back then, they are far far better than they used to be. If people are still finding issue with them (I haven't lately tbh, haven't seen a lot of them) fiddling with the charge up time preserves the damage which a forge gun should have and doesn't make the forge gunners feel persecuted.

none of that ever happens by 1 forge...EVER....youre very silly

It's an AV weapon, so yes, yes it is.

Yup, what a clown. Prob 12 years old with a name like that. Every year older after that loses more respect.

I find everything about you offensive....from your name, to the way you speak, to your ideas.....

This thread sucks. How about you make suggestions on how to fix the assault forge gun, like you implied in the title. What you suggested would nerf it to oblivion, and CCP does that enough on their own. So how about you practice with this thread, make a reasonable request with a valid argument, drop the attitudes, and re-post this thread in the feedback / suggestions page.

I've seen plenty of tanks shrug off Forge Gun fire. It's called evasion and tactics, just because you're in a tank it doesn't make you invincible.

Auto-firing is not a downside. Not being able to move like the breach forge gun is a downside.

I have the ability to use an officer forge gun and I have trouble taking out a good tanker who actually knows what he's doing. The only people who complain about forge guns are people that have low level vehicles and don't use them properly or infantry that stand still for too long. Go use a forge gun and try to snipewith it, its a hard skill to master. All these Damn people who complain all the time just need to shut up and spend more time playing and maybe their skills will improve. You don't see the best players in the game complaining because they have the skills to adapt to the changing weapons and situations on the battlefield.

That's due to the fact that CCP switched the module and turret costs around so now we have cheap ass modules but ridiculously expensive turrets. And the forge/rail gun balance (while strange I admit) is that forge guns do more damage, but have less range, while rail guns do less damage but have more range. Sadly rendering issues mean that this is somewhat broken right now,

All valid complaints from a tanker that doesn't use cover for his MLT tank... and fails to exploit the invincible armour reppers that tanks have at the moment - a proper tank fit can rep faster than an AFG with 2 comp damage mods can damage it (speaks from experience).

Forge sniping is not difficult, but ACCURATE forge gun sniping requires skill... much like effective sniping with any weapon for that matter. Nobody is crying for the plasma cannon to be nerfed but can be just as effective as a forge on a dropship-only accessible roof top. Hell, the HMG on the mushroom is pretty deadly too!

FG splash radius is not huge. Mass driver splash radius is huge.

Breach FG can move

You can bunny hop where you need to go! Its so OP, a bunny hopping Heavy with a charged Breach!

Nerf Hopping.

To all those getting nailed by a Breach- that charge up time is long, if you stand still that long you should feel bad.

As a reply to the other FG OP, shenanigans...

Counter with:

Sniping
Running, walking, or just generally moving and not staying still
Our range is limited, the rail tank has render limitations for its range
also tactics work

THe forgegun autoshoots when fully charged. So if your accuracy is just a tad off, you'll miss
