Blame the tankers, they couldnt handle getting blown up so now all AV has to be as useless against them as the plasma cannon

Lol maybe you are forgetting the nerf tanks are getting (less slots, lower speed, electronics no longer gives CPU, low ammo counts etc..) plus swarms are OP and I know this because I use them. I can lock onto a tank at 400m and fire 3 volleys at it before the first lands, because I am so far away the swarms are invisible so the tanker gets no warning so the first shot is essentially a sneak attack, then as they are activating their modules the second and third land by which point I have reloaded and begun firing again, if the swarm guy has half a brain he waited until the tank was in a bad place to avoid swarms so all 6 of my volleys are pretty much guaranteed to hit. This coupled with the fact that even if the tank gets into cover the swarms usually fly past then do an instant 180 on the spot and get them anyway.

Forgeguns are working as intended but the damage is a bit too high especially on the IAFG, higher damage and lower charge speed from a gun that works from a distance well beyond your optimal range and 9/10 beyond your render distance, but FGs are also probably getting nerfed thanks to AR514 players screaming about getting one shotted. (rumour I heard was removal of splash from FGs and a few other tweaks to make it less effective against infantry.

Plasma cannon is laughable against vehicles and is completely out classed and out DPS'd by AV nades.

So yeah AV is currently UP. Pirate

One thing I do agree on is nerfing swarm range and damage is a bit too far it should have just been range to solve cloaking swarms and left damage until we see how it stacks up against the new vehicles.

I just soloed a Tank the other day with my Cannon.
It wasn't some beginning tanker (as far as Skill Points spent [I can tell by how much damage was done per shot]) and it still only took me four shots.
Two blasts for shields and another two for armor.
If I had (like every other person seems to have for ANY weapon) the Prototype Cannon, Proficiency V, and a couple of Complex Damage Mods, It could have been three shots, maybe two.
And I can still OHK mostly any suit in the game.
Cannons are meaner than anyone gives credit for.
As far as all the other changes, to both Tanks and AV weaponry, it seems like it's falling in line.
Are they bad changes? Some of them, yes.
Will it make the game better? I think so.
We will just have to wait and see.

HMGs, not so much. Use a FG if you want to kill at range in a heavy suit. Even better, CCP could actually release the other two heavy weapons. Or you could just use a rail rifle yourself, nothing is stopping you.

I'm pretty sure they said they are coming very soon. Given that the LR would have to outrange the scrambler and be very competitive with the rail rifle (especially since amarr wont have a sniper rifle), I'm thinking that it will get a decent range and range band buff.

Combat rifle will bring back the old days of me punching a burst into someone's skull and doing a ton of damag. The accuracy + range + RoF = YES. Bursts rely on headshots for maximum damage. Spike damage, suprise, panic, chaos...it's like using a mass driver, but more sneaky.

No it's not working as intended. It stopped working as intended when CCP removed shot dispersion, making the weapon able to hit a dime at max range. Assault forges should be least accurate for their increase in DPS, making them "close-ranged." You should get yourself dirty and up close if you want to deal more damage than a regular forge gun, and not from the safety of a tower 250m away. Regular forge guns are fine, just re-introduce shot dispersion. Breach forge guns are also fine, but just need some shot dispersion, but not as much as a regular one. Breaches should hit hard, but have low DPS. They should be the most accurate of the forge guns.

Well I like the plasma cannon as well but compared to current AV it is much much worse 4 shots for a tank no offence but it must have been a bad tank I have a crapish fit Madrugar and it takes more than 4 forgegun blasts to take it down. The real problem with the PC against vehicles is the slow travel speed allowing easy dodging and the fact that they do less damage than homing AV nades, thankfully AV nades are getting toned down so maybe more people will spec into the PC.

I don't think you're going to see that. Based on CCP's line of logic on the latest "tweaks," the FG's damage, range and/or splash is going to get touched instead. I'm not making a statement of approval or disapproval. Just calling it.
