its not the speed that is the biggest issue on it vs infantry its splash range.
btw the assault has 300 more DPS then other forges and its higher then rails. normal proto forge have a dps around 550(includes breach as well) while the assault has 850~ these are just soft numbers w/o modules. if ccp really wants to balance it drop clip size or increase reload time(by 2+seconds) would seriously hurt assault forge snipers without making it useless. the splash could be switched with the breach as well. |

Use the breach for heavy damage, use the standard for mobility with the ability to conserve ammo, use the assault to asault things. Don't be so naive. Please see above post by ladwar. I invite you to play some ambush and domination matches you'll see a lot of Ishokune Assault Forge Guns. For AV, AI, everything. And please don't say it's anti-matter because it's not. It's a small railgun doing way too much damage. -XOXO
all honestly switching the splash ranges with breach makes the most sense and would really hurt its ability to snipe infantry which is much more important than its AV over forges.
the SL i have issues with a lot while its scaling and lock on time. they need tweaks otherwise its fine. homing and range at the cost of speed and no AI uses. |

As it stands, I have basically no reason to use any other forge gun variant. The Assault forge gun is the be-all and end-all of Av AND Ai. How often do you see a breach? Or the 9K330/Kaalakiota?
The Ishukone, and even the DAU-5/A make all the other forge guns pretty much obsolete.
And, before anybody asks, I do use the forge gun (while running on the ground exclusively). I have an entire character pretty much dedicated to it. I wouldn't say that the other variants are obsolete. I rock the adv breach forge when I know an enemy tank is going to be passing me, so I hide then bunny hop out behind them to hit them in the sweet spot. And I use the 9k330 in place of the DAU from time to time when I want to be able to choose my shots more carefully.
lies, dirty dirty lies!! assault FG or GTFO |
