It takes an extremely skilled forge gunner to effectively snipe with a forge gun I should know I use them

Assault forges on top of buildings using their supposed AV weapon to suppress infantry. Assault forge has near instant travel time and can hit from where it cant be seen. Any challenge against them requires a paper thin dropship.

Solution: lower splash radius or bring the dmg falloff closer.

No reason to combine the mass driver and sniper rifle.

my problem is that they can 2 shot ANY good dropship, i was once one shotted by a proto forge gun that must have had at least 2 complex damage mods. because he took out 700 shield with like 8% resistence, and just barely over 3000 armor with like 12% resistance. in one shot.... i also had an afterburner module on and was going very fast, and i was really far up.

First off the splash radius is already small and they do very little splash damage. Where do u get that it is an AV weapon the description never says that. Even if it was an AV any reduction in either range or radius would render it in effective against anything but tanks

Deal with it.

Well all dropships are made of paper. If forge guns were nerfed to allow them to survive better they wouldn't do anything to good tanks and anyways u need to leave heavies with something

Dropships need a huge HP buff, they should be flying tanks, but with little armanant.

Point is, its too easy to get infantry kills with the forge. I ran forge/hmg before respec and would slaughter with a forge/scrambler combo.

good for you.
Still FG is TOO good.

Why nerf forge when ar can out dps it? Why are you trying to counter a railgun with a plasma thrower? Why are you not getting your squad to all line up sniper rifles from 3 angles and time your headshots? Why aren't you proing him with an assault md? Genades? A 610 isk mlt forge? Any installation in a 20 mile radius? A blueberry's missile turret on his tank/lav? Not op if it has counters.

Can't counter the forge on some maps because of how the maps are designed. The city socket with the towers that has gates around the tops, but with slats you can shoot thru. You can only shoot up into them, and only when the forge is looking directly at you. The only other option is a dropship which will be instantly shot down because its a forge.

The FG is fine.

It's only "too" good because heavies can choose to fight back at a distance, and preferably with a height advantage... at that point you just use it back at them or get multiple people/snipers to concentrate fire and they're either dead or not willing to poke their heads out which ultimately means they can't hit you anymore.

Well fit and SP invested pilots should be able to only withstand 1-2 shots from a proto breach 2-3 from proto assault and basic. (assuming that they're using high slots for damage mods.)

If you're like me and run crap militia afterburner/overdrive fit just to get on top of buildings then expect to get one shot by most things.

Theres a problem when the supposed heavy AV weapon results in consistent 20-0 matches against infantry.

They do 1300+ damage, its an AV weapon. Splash is 3 meters, MD is at 4.

No one is spamming the forge gun. They are using it, its a potent anti materiel weapon.

Its a rail gun,not a rifle.

Do you know what material is?

Evidently, you don't understand what material is, judging from the link you provided...

Here, this might help:

fixed that.

You just got served.

1998 wants its phrase back.

Again, it isn't a AV WEAPON. ITS ANI MATERIAL. MEANING INFANTRY! INSTALLATIONS! AND VEHICLES. ITS A DAMN HAND HELD RAIL GUN. READ BEFORE YOU SOUND LIKE AN OTHER IDIOT ON FORUMS WHO CRY ABOUT EVERYTHING.
