Very few, including myself, use the Breach variants. It is seldom, if at any time, a problem for infantry and pilots alike. The long charge times and inability to move make the Breach the most balanced Forge Gun out of the three options. However, this recent nerf to all FG variants hit the Breach the hardest. It now seems more useless than before. All the complaints about Assault FG tower sniping just killed a perfectly balanced weapon.

Well, here's how it works. One Forge Gun is killing everything so that automatically means that all Forge Guns are bad and need to be nerfed, despite whether or not variants outside of the abused one are balanced or not. -AR 514
I'm a Breacher when high end tanks come into play. Come 1.7, I'll still be a Breacher. I'll be using my proto breach to stomp HAVers just as I've always done. The damage done to the Breach is a crime, but I refuse to let go of it (the Breach). You can nerf the damage of my weapons, but you cannot nerf my spirits.

Base HP of gunnlogis will be close to 2300 shield right?
If so you will literally instantly kill any tank that doesn't have resistance.
Sooo... Upset about nerf why? I also had a fatty race: Mlt forge walking whilst charging, versus dcma/5 bunny hopping. Dcma won. And mlt guy was only half way there btw.

One shot can take all the shields off of the most shield tanked + hardener Python (and you never catch the first shot with a hardener). Despite the longer charge time (which is reduced to 4.5 sec iirc with skills), by the time I'm hit, reason what happened, and react, it's virtually impossible to get out of range or dodge the next shot. Not to mention I've been knocked around and have a very defective damage indicator, making everything all the more difficult.
All the forges were broken, hopefully they'll be more balanced.

so the charging time for the FG was not long enough? really? 3 seconds is a long time to charge a weapon while trying to dodge bullets and grenades being thrown at us. now its 4 seconds charge time???? so now we have to really dodge those bullets and hope that we survive long enough to charge the FG?

Sorry a FG can in situations out snipe a sniper. All it takes is height or walls and the blast radius pays off in spades... Ace to be precise.
So you have a huge armored individual who can one or two shot tanks. One shot most infantry.
And is practically immune to one shots even to the head.
Plus less reputable members of the heavy FG fraternity might be WP farming by shooting all the visible neutral installations for double points even if the team could utilize a CRU or supply point to push the objective.

R.I.P. Breach Forge Guns You're saying RIP because infantry needs every insane crutch.
I happen to think they're incredible OP. One shot to the weak spot on a Madrugar with no modules running and a 180mm poly plate is all it takes to destroy it. I tested it with witnesses in an empty PC, and it was my own tank with nobody in it.

As a pilot I can definitly say I got problems with the breach in its current state. But I'm not a tank so I don't expect to survive 2 shots from it. All I want is to be able to see where the hell you are so I have a half decent chance to get away

Well tanks are getting there hp nerfed so.. Yeah it wouldn't be smart to leave the 3k dmg forges out there when tanks would barely be able to get 3k hp.
It's never good if the receiver of any weapon doesn't even have time to react before dieing.

Because you don't have to worry about bullets when you've got 5-6 people with forgeguns on a roof and 2 logi's spamming nanohives and uplinks for them. No one ever actually took the forge-gun into close quarters combat, they got up on a rooftop and sniped with it, or *occasionally* chased vehicles if there wasn't a good roof for them.
Don't create false dichotomies or misrepresent information, it doesn't cause discussions to go anywhere. The forge-gun will still oneshot practically any dropsuit, the nerf on them was to prevent them from one-shotting practically any vehicle now too. |

I really dislike this attitude. Why exactly do you think you're entitled to one-clip kills on vehicles when you always have all the advantages going into a fight - You're small and can't easily be seen, you always get the first shot in, unless you're stupid the vehicle won't be able to kill you their only option is to retreat or die.
As much as I dislike the game league of legends they've more or less coined the term 'counterplay' - a concept that really doesn't exist in this game - basically it's the idea that everything you and your opponent does should give each other options (both positive and negative) on how to play against each other. Unfortunately the cards are all held by the AVers in this case and the vehicles hold absolutely 0 cards.
Because of its abuse there isn't the ability to attempt to drive over people anymore this would be the counterplay to grenades and close range AV, where it puts the vehicle more at risk but allows them to succeed.
Almost all AV always gets the first shot and is terrifyingly disproportionate in its amount of damage preventing vehicles from being able to activate hardeners before they've lost most of their tank or giving them the option to attack them.
Vehicles are *HUGE* massive easy to hit targets whereas infantry is small and hard to hit, preventing vehicles from meaningfully being able to defend themselves or really go on the offensive.
Vehicles and vehicle trees will now cost more SP than infantry and AV trees... and they also cost more isk too.
And when we get to when AV actually receives some nerfs despite being wildly powerful and so easy to use its absolutely ****ing painful, the av stands there and whines "RIP SWARM LAUNCHERS, RIP FORGE-GUNS, I HATE YOU CCP THAT YOU TOOK AWAY MY ABILITY TO 1SHOT / 1CLIP VEHICLES, THIS ISNT FAIR AT ALL! I WANT MY EASY BUTTON BACK!" |

And is practically immune to one shots even to the head.
Plus less reputable members of the heavy FG fraternity might be WP farming by shooting all the visible neutral installations for double points even if the team could utilize a CRU or supply point to push the objective. A: You must have never played as a heavy forger if you're going to try to say forgegun is better than a sniper rifle, just because it can better it under certain conditions. Heck, under that assumption I presume you think then that nova knives are better than a sniper rifle
B: Your aim must be terrible if you're saying us heavies are nearly immune to headshots. Our heads are the size of a fecking microwave, and the body it's attached to isn't exactly going to win a race when moving!!! We're more like the obstacles that other players have to get around in a cross country race.
C: The farming of installations can be an issue. With turrets I don't mind it since most are in a useless position and someone on our side might as well get the WP than any tanker or forgegunner on the opposition side. Blowing up supply depots should only be done if they are on the only objective that the enemy own and they have it locked down, but some idiots do it regardless. To fix it I'd like to see supply depots have the same eHP as CRUs. And on the point of CRUs, it takes alot of fire to take one out, and like the depots, it can be very beneficial to do so in the right circumstance. Again, some idiots will do it regardless, but that's just a factor we're stuck with at the moment. Most will use a railgun due to the amount of damage needed.
OP: I'm not to unhappy about the changes as the idea of the breech is massive Alpha damage which it still has, but I'll wait till I play 1.7 to get a feel for it against the new vehicles. |

and where in my post did i complain about the dmg? im complaining about the charge time. beside i dont roof camp with my FG and i only use it for tanks not on dropsuits.
most of the time its hard to OHK a tank unless its a MLT tank, but i've seen tanks that can take more than 3 shots and still survive.

Far too often do players lump us into the same category as tower sniping Assault FGers, and that is wrong.
I ask this to anyone: out of your last 10 FG deaths, how many were caused by a Breach variant?
I'd be surprised if anyone answers with more than 3.

I don't breach FG regularly by any means, generally I bring it out for very very specific purposes, as the charge time and immobilization make you a huge target (especially for non breach FGers!!!) that said, for such a crippling penalty I think breach should be a little better than it is proposed in the patch.
For a 6-second charge time where your mobility is limited and you are glowing like a Christmas tree, I would expect massive damage spikes.. I think we'll have to see how this plays out. |

We are currently straddling a line where heavies may be able to survive a direct shot, if you would go so far as to need it further you would ensure the death of the forge gun.
Breach is not competitive, it is really meant for ambushing vehicles and overloading them with too much damage to escape. It is not a "competitive" weapon for use all the time. That is the Assaults purpose.

Spoken like a true forger.
Nowadays, true forgers are a rare breed. There's a passion one must have for the forge gun to appreciate it for what it is. Those that seek ultimate power will only seek the one weapon that will lay mountains of corpses to no end. But the forge is not this. Nor will it ever be. But one thing it will always be - a weapon of purpose. To be the thorn on those that tread the battlefield on iron horses. And when necessary, lay waste to those that stand before you.
From one forger to another, you have my respect. |

the only fg i would avoid was the proto breach fg with my decently fitted mlt tank.
the only thing i couldnt avoid was some idiot chucking 90 av nades at me. my only problem with av is av nades.
when i first unlocked the assault fg.
i had massive fun.
even while on the losing side of a pubstomp. i took down many proto bears with single shots to the face and crouch. and chest,
although im pretty sure majority of those were just luck shots as now im not hitting much with it any more. |

dude there arte plenty of vet tankers who will tell you of the damage I used to inflict with the dcma breech variant , mr Jason peirson watched me destroy a team mates sagi with 2 shots simply because I got the first shot on the sweet spot and stripped 6000 shields in one shot. the breech varients are monsters in the hands of experienced forge gunners and im not talking about tower sniping forge gunners.
Its gone from suck .....to blow

If forges had the same RoF as before, it would be THE SAME ******* PROBLEM. Imagine a sniper rifle that does 600 damage a shot, and shoots 4x a second? Now give it splash damage of 200 and a usable CqC hipfire. I'll vote your forges get 1.0 second charge, but give sniper rifles 300% damage against heavies AND EXO-5 splash characteristics.
A fully decked thales' sniper can only do about 1100 on a headshot, during the realignment phase, said heavy can simply stand backwards 3feet and sit on his triage hive, and waltz back out in a matter of 10 seconds.

If so you will literally instantly kill any tank that doesn't have resistance.
Sooo... Upset about nerf why? I also had a fatty race: Mlt forge walking whilst charging, versus dcma/5 bunny hopping. Dcma won. And mlt guy was only half way there btw. Long charge i can shoot twice with my assault forge gun in 5 sec and the breach gun can shoot 2 in 12 secs So you expect tanks then to play the scout playstyle? They're not allowed to stay outside for more than 5 seconds as Iafg's will kill them in tht timeframe. Wyrkombreaches will INSTAPOP gunny's if they don't have resistance. Which they can't because of the currnt 10 second uptime. So you tell me then how to run my tank, seeing as you know more about tanks than tankers.

They charge for 6 seconds and are immobile and are shining while doing so, and are limited to a bad suit. That's the risk you took for flying, making you are target for everyone. That's worse then saying "A Thale one-shot me on an open road it's unfair". |
