I am using my AFG for few days now... and only thing I can say is WOW

That thing is just like you hawe a Railgun turrent in your hands with splash dmg and much more dps...

Yesterday I was ontop of tower in Domination, I got 34 kills with 4 deaths,killed 3 tanks,4 shots to kill any tank,dropship go down 2 shots max (one shot is enough to shake him up badly)
You dont hawe to be ontop of tower to be good with it,I was yust running around with my sqad defending me,and I still got like 12 / 20 kills easily..
With skills maxed out (wich I still dont hawe) and good aming with it, FG becomes insane killing machine.

For me AFG is better then HMG against infantry

It should be nerfed! Anyone agree with me??


PS sry for my bad english

again? Forge guns aren't the problem. Sniping from towers is a problem.

In any other circumstance the playing field is much more even.

Im repeting this chause I want ccp do something about this!!
Like ceopyrex said FG shouldnt even hit a dropship!!
im a vehicle user,and I want to fly a freeking dropship!!!

Yeah and one more thing,it is ridiculus that W.Breach FG can one shot my tank?!
That is ********!!

lol these tower forgers, giving us TRUE forgers a bad name, b-i-t-c-h- please, get your ass on the ground and see if that AFG is feeling OP when you have a lot of people shooting at you, i bet you would change your opinion about the FG.

lol breach FG OP? you do know that you can't move when you charge that type of FG?

Agree.
It feels OP when used as tower sniping...but it is only OP in pubs. Watch a PC match and Forge gunners do not top the list or kill feed. It is a huge bazooka used to contain tanks and guard letters. Very vulnerable to all infantry and tanks. The heavy suit scares no one. I doubt it will get nerfed as no one sees it spammed...which is how CCP defines OPness...which I respect.

As an half dropship pilot (both assault and logistic) and half a logistic, I can confrim (like a lot of players) that the forge gun need a lot of work (like everything concerning the vehicules I guess). I got a proto swarm launcher and it's not as OP.

First, the swarm can't hit the infantry which is normal
Second, the rockets got a limited fly time, unlike the FG which can shoot my drophip from the other side of the map.
Third, a drophip with an active speed booster is FASTER than rockets, but not as fast as the forge gun (which is logical after all).


CCP could do things to the forge gun like :
- Have the same damages as the swarm launcher at the same level as a counterpart you can have different models with less charge time, or deliver 2/3 blast (like the cyclic turret). Because for the moment one of the proto forge gun can deliver more than 3000 damages with damagers and skills.
- Do something with the area effect ; why a blast of forge gun (militia) would make make my dropship become crazy to fly when a proto swarm launcher do almost nothing to my stability.
- Make sure it can't hit the infantry anymore, after all we have the plasma canon to do that, and it's quite fun and MORE REWARDING.

To put it in a nutshell : Forge gun is to the weapons what the Charybdis were to vehicules a few month ago : cheated things

Sniping from the tower is a secondary effect of the drop uplink tactic. You don't want them to be destroyed ? So you reduce the chance for them to be spot by use them on a tower, and then half of the team take sniper rifle and forge gun, shoot everything and LOST the battle.

Range, damage, or splash.

Pick two

Counter or don't counter.

Pick one.

Yes, yes we all know about this by now. And yes it is a scrub weapon. So please do yourself a favor and don't sully yourself by using it seriously. You will lose respect with every shot.

I dont give a **** about respect, this is a ******* game!!

I just wanna hawe fun in this game with my vehicles (tanks and dropships) or FG, and yeah that penalty that imobilze you while charging is usles while on the tower..

In every PC match I was there was few FG guys on the towers,and not to say in pub matches,...

Calm down little dude

The real problem are the towers lol not the FG's

Standard has a low rate of fire
Assault makes it difficult to aim
And Breach welds you to the floor

All have limited ammo, a charge up, and are almost useless hitting anything on a level plane or above them...

And some other stuff i cant be botherd to go over as its all been done already

Counter or don't counter.

Pick one.

I agree with you about tower sniping,..but charge time,dmg with skills maxed out,and few dmg mods,it kills shield tanks i one clip and I didnt se any assault dropship flying around for a month now :P

As a dropship pilot how do you propose I do that?

By having half a squad on the ground hunting you down?

So you think its ok for you to be able to go solo and take down dropships all by yourself while the only way for a pilot to counter isby using multiple people?
