Wrong, railgun installation does more to shield forge gun is anti armor.

im pretty sure CCP still hasn't fixed it. because it is, well, CCP. and look the "TAR" or rail rifle is listed as rail but still very plasma gallente based.

Today I asked a squadmate to confirm to which is the forge gun bonused to, and it's shields. Should be changed to armor ASAP as it can actually help in the shield vs armor imbalance. Also railguns need to be bonused against armor as well. This would make the Caldari better railgun snipers for once.

I tested it in game myself, along with other armor enthusiasts and the forge gun is indeed armor. Also part the shield vs armor imbalance is that there are 33% more weapons to kill armor, and more than half of those armor killers are either very high damage weapons or very high DPS weapons. So really the forge gun should be anti shields.

Armor and shields are both terrible. Neither ship can design any fitting that would survive 3 forge blasts.

Thats because you dont use an armor repairer, dropships need an armor repairers specially since if you activate one you can stop the imminent destruction of your dropship since there is a timer before it explodes.
