Pretty much my setup when forging, and being able to lol snipe infantry when bored can be fun.
Depending on the HAVs, pilot skill and map layout 1 forger is unlikely to kill a lot of tanks but 2 can eat them quickly and with focused fire deal with multiple tanks.
I say this as both forger and tanker, stop trying to solo tanks!
This "tank is op becasue 1 tank = 2 av" is bollocks, two forges like this could make quick work of my tank (just in terms of raw dps calculations, setting aside player skill) and then immediately turn to the next tank and make quick work of them also, they might not even need to reload (I'd have to do the math to check that). So really 2 forge = >2 tank. Though this is highly dependent on map layout, player skill, enemy snipers/tank support infantry etc.
Prior to 1.7 I felt bad how I'd deny most of the map to a whole player class.
I would like them to bring in vehicle damage WP though, it'd be nice to be high on the leader board and get a decent payout even if all I did was keep the tanks at bay.
Now as for swarms?... Unless they bring back dumbfire they can bugger off. For all the bitching about how Aim Assist has removed any skill from the game we have a weapon that you can lock, get behind cover and then fire at a target you don't even have LOS to, and that we're ok with? Plasma Cannon should really be the light AV (after a buff of course).
Prior to 1.7 if a forger nailed my engines mid banking turn I was annoyed but also impressed. A swarm on the otherhand... Welp, I guess he was vaguely aware of my existence. It felt about as worthy a death as to a thale 400m in the redline.
And I felt gross using them, my dren swarms have been pretty much mothballed since I got them. |

Its similar to the rail gun glitch on tanks. I get this literally 1-2x PER match. Have not reported in bugs section yet due to lack of video evidence.
You're not the only one, I get this a lot as well. A lot of people have survived when they shouldn't because of it. |
