When I call in a sica, equal to a gunloggi in 1.7 without resist, a current advanced assault forge can two shot it with ease. Vehicles often "hang" on the bolas waiting to be dropped. This is absolute candy for an assault forge gun who can then kill it before it reaches the ground. The range is also a bit too long as well as a forge gun on top of home point can reach the back of the adjacent redzones. This needs to be looked at as if the pilot is not in the vehicle there is no way we can activate that wave of opportunity and are totally defenseless.

No it is ok because that tanker is risking a boat load if ISK to have that capability. Also tanks and their possitions on the map can be easily determined and proper action can be taken accordingly.

wrong, I can do more dam faster and get better range too
with my forge

You know there is something called teamwork, right? Even the Sagaris could be brought down with proper coordination.

No need for the drama.

Tanks will still be killable, just instead of limp wristed scrubs with swarms and AV nades, it will now require the fat suit and a forge.

Giving the heavy an actual job to do is a step in the right direction for everyone who wants an interesting game instead of medium frames everywhere.

Bad AV will always need to work together to take down a good tanker. Not because tanks are OP, but because people don't seem to consider that good tankers have lots of experience fighting AV, but most AV has never even seen a good tanker. I don't tank without seeing proto swarms and AV, all game. SO I know how to fight it, and how to escape.

Bad tankers will always get solo'd as long as the person attacking them is not an idiot. Unfortunately, OP AV made far too many players lazy when it comes to AV.

I as well have a fat suit alt, with a prof 5 forge and all the fixings.

It is absolutely easy mode to take down tanks right now.

Proto fluxes and one forge shot for any shield tank.

Proto AV's and a forge shot for every armor tank.

Hurray for difficulty.

In the next patch, with AV grenades getting a nerf, there may be some hope for armor tanks, but shield tankers are f'd. They just don't know it yet because they think the eHP numbers are going to matter.

Could the forge use a nerf? Maybe, but lets wait and see what happens in the next patch before we go calling for one.

Targets for FG render at 300m.
Targets for tanks render at 100 or less.
If rendering was fixed you'd have a point but since you obviously do not use a tank you look like an idiot claiming we can easily shoot something that isn't there.
