I agree to an extent that forgeguns should be the most effective infantry AV weapon. However, I don't think that the forgegun should be as powerful as a vehicle mounted railgun.

In my opinion, infantry with AV (swarms, forges) should support vehicles with AV (railguns). They should be the backbone of the AV profession that can be spammed quickly, cheaply and easily and used to overwhelm vehicles with numbers (3 infantry AV = Equal meta level Tank, 1 infantry AV = equal meta level LAV, 2 infantry AV = equal meta level dropship). The big expensive vehicles should do the greatest damage by a long shot, but should have compromises to balance that out.

What I mean by this is:

Infantry AV: Soft counter to vehicles (3 infantry AV : 1 vehicle)

Vehicle AV: Hard counter to vehicles (1 vehicle : 1 vehicle)

My reasoning for this, is that infantry AV is more flexible than vehicle AV. They have the benefits of being infantry, while being to fight tanks. As it stands now, infantry is like the "AR" of roles; master of all trades. They are arguably the most effective at fighting vehicles (even more so than vehicles themselves), but can still slaughter infantry like no tomorrow. What Im saying is that infantry needs to be balanced according to its flexibility and adaptability, where it can do basically everything, but it isn't the best at everything.

All tanks can do is kill things that are out in the open and support points. Infantry can go anywhere they want and do whatever they want.

I propose that if tanks get a buff, AV weaponry grant WP baseed on HITS vs vehicles.This would mean
Hitting a tank with a FG would grant around 15-20WP. This way,at least if i couldnt kill the tank i could make a living
of keeping tanks away.This way tanks can have their so desired HP buff without being broken, both red dot tankers and
Blue AV specialist pushing him back/killing him earn ISK and SP....
