There's a lot of QQ here. But it's not your typical QQ, and it's really rather a QQ about others' QQ.

So +1

whoa whoa whoa hold on there, us heavies complaining about our FG? since when?

i've seen FG nerf threads but a thread about FG being UP??

i want what you're smoking there lol

I am a forge gunner.

Towers are overpowered

Stay away from my forge gun

(fyi i dont towere snipe)

While I kind of share the same sentiment... aren't snipers in the same category? It's a playstyle which takes very little risk for decent rewards, while also being incredibly boring to play.

Most people would probably rather watch paint dry than sit in the redline or on top of a tower all day, but then there are those who really can't get fun out of the game doing anything that requires a modicum of spatial awareness.

Well... They won't ever get my respect, but the game designer in me also wants to say that it's not a bad idea to give those people something fun to do. While it's frustrating to deal with, in turn we "others" get to enjoy entertaining threads like this, sharing our disdain in solidarity.

redline rail tanks cant see much... soooo they arnt particularly dealy to anything besides tanks who wander around like they are immune to gunfire... wich means if the railtank diddnt get them soemthing else would of.


soooo take mountain rail tanks off this list of gripes?

SO let me get this straight, If I rail an enemy tank that is working hard to help his team in closer combat, this is me saying I have a weak tank, but I'll cheap shot other tanks, OR is this a tank with a powerful long range weapon using range, to supress and stop other tanks from killing my team?

CCP like people using the height advantages on this game, and a forge gunner a top a tower is not invincible, he is a sniper target, if your teams snipers cant supress or kill him, to bad, better luck next time.

Also rail tanks can shoot forgers off them towers, its a matter of knowing how.

So to generalize the OP, anything that uses range or tactical postioning should be ashamed of themselves.
By the same whacked out logic:
AR's you should be ashamed of using automatic weapons, try being a man and pull the trigger every shot.
Mass drivers, quit relying on explosions your cowards
Snipers, how about you come into submachine gun range.
Knova Knifers, try that from 50m
Tankers, how about you get out and try fight me.
Grenades, how about you don't explode.

etc etc etc

man i hate those snipers who carry the kaalakiota SR. but then i just switch to my heavy sniper and find those guys, i once hunted down a sniper so many times in one game that he switch back to militia SR after losing too many of his officer weapon

As is the how dare you use your long range weapons at long range rant on post#1

I love taking someones Thales, few minutes later you'll see their name on kill feed with an ADV SR, funny stuff.

As someone who likes to think he can read I'd say the post was not about the distance but more so the placement and cowardly behavior.

I use a railgun sniper, I really love it. I don't really stay on the redline (unless my infantry gets pushed back to the redline) but I try to stay as far away from combat as I can, railguns' main advantage is range of course. The thing is though, with the render issues, railgun sniper tanks are actually easy to take out right now because swarms and lock on and fire from outside their render distance and so can FGs (well, not lock on anyway) so their missiles/projectile is totally invisible just like their suit. I just want to point out your rant was hilarious, even if uniformed, and made me lol so you get my like. BTW, even blaster and missile tanks are supposed to stay as far from enemy infantry as possible so they really shouldn't be wading into an enemy held objective infested with AV.

If I'm not on the tower then the enemy team is likely to, better me for the sake of my team then them. If you don't want to deal with it then stay out of my limited 300 meter range or die or better yet, get a decent sniper. Get four dropships since I can't kill all of them before you get up there. Hell if you squish me with one, I'll send you mail telling you that was absolutely hilarious.

The rail tankers on hills is a problem and they are bad and should feel bad.

Forge gunners on towers is actually less of a problem and they are doing what they are supposed to be doing. People always forget the forge gun is not anti-vehicle it's anti-material.

reasonable, rational, grammatically proficent, hard to kill in game and lookin fine while at it in your caldari suit +1 when we gonna squad up again?

Time well spent, I'm getting on in the next 10-20 minutes. Ill find you in our chat room o7

OP you are absolutely right and awesome quick question though is it by the same definition cowardly to retreat to the redline for a short period during a match or use the redline to recall? either way +1 dude

This is for all the forge gunners camping on buildings

As a Heavy who stays on the ground, I cannot condone tower camping with a FG. It is cowardly and it throws off the balance of the game.

Redline Sniper tanks are in the same club.

-1 to tower camping FG Heavies

-1 to redline railtanks

+1 to OP.

As a side note, those Ferrari Armor Tanks...

The link doesn't work for me.

(assuming your a lady) I wanna have sex with you. I don't even care that you're a money *****, I just want to **** that amazing mouth of yours

Tact and grace, my friend, tact and grace.

yeah, I should take my tank, put the worst kind of turret for my tank type on(shield tank, blasters use WAY too much PG to fit a decent tank alongside the requisite coolants/damage mods), and charge the field so I get ripped in half in 12 seconds(skewing my numbers a bit high here). Or I use missiles, then I get ripped apart in 12 seconds, and laughed at.

or, I sit on a mountain, provide fire support where it is needed(like say onto that enemy tank, who, no matter what gun I'm using will outright murder me in every fight unless I get the drop on him, and he's a poorly fit, crappy driver, or I have significant range on my side) and have the height to revoke enemy air superiority.

Different tools for different uses. Shield tanks are very good for railgun usage as none of their tank mods are useful for a fight, and their lows can be left open via using the "efficient" models to stack mods for heavy burst damage over a decent period of time.

Railguns, thanks to their low track speed and massive range demand to be used from significant range and height as to ensure maximum battlefield control, anything less is pure folly.

so, we have a tank that is very poorly tanked, and hits like a truck. guess how you beat it? hit it once or twice(or use your own and hit him twice before he can even move and he's dead) so it has to hide to regen the 2/3 of it's shield you just took out for the next few minutes. when it comes out again, you hit it again. he'll move, then you take advantage of the time he's not shooting to push. or you keep hounding them until they recall or are killed.

Sorry that I'm not a battlefield derp who'll charge into suicide so you can have the free points you seem to want

you do shields and survive? interesting..
