Its made as an AV weapon which it is fine for and i have no trouble with it
Big problem is that it is a superior weapon to use when killing infantry and requires free aim to do so
You can easily pull a 20-0 and use a milita FG if wanted granted it does require to be up high but once up high you are basically god and only a well placed OB will throw you off
But when this happened with swarms it was classed as broken and OP, that got fixed by being a lock on weapon and only for vehicles
So do you think the FG is OP against infantry?
Do you think the problem is the FG being up high?
Do you think its a combination of both problems?
Should the FG kill infantry?
Is it even a problem at all? If it is how would you fix it?
Also remember its basically a handheld version of a railgun except more damage and splash/radius so infantry would cry for the vehicle railgun to be also changed most likely because they are similiar so if a FG cant kill infantry then neither would the vehicle railgun for example
Thoughts?

a gun that destroys vehicles/installations SHOULD be able to kill infantry also.
so no, it's not a problem.
I didnt know a FG could shoot through buildings |

So then the Vehicle Mounted Large turret requires 10x more the PG should be instant also, agree?
Instead the vehicle mounted large railgun is weaker than the FG currently and also has shell drop and travel time
As for anti material it didnt say anti infantry even tho it does say devestating to infantry because 1600DPS hurting towards a infantry player with 1000hp at max it will be, common sense
It is more of an AV weapon, lack of sights because you dont need sights to aim at something as big as a house
The FG does more damage and has more splash than a rail, effectively when rails did have more damage and more splash they got nerfed because its a vehicle turret and shouldnt kill infantry because lolvehicles, on the otherhand FG got buffs
The FG is good at killing infantry but only from a height advantage, doing it on the ground is alot harder but with an assault FG and splash it can be done
Generally we have a weapon which can do everything, kill vehicles and infantry at the same time, no one seems to have a problem with that except when it was a vehicle mounted railgun because lolvehicles cant defend themselves against infantry its not fair
In this game generally a weapon does one thing well and the 2nd things is just useless for ie MD killing a tank
