Lorhak Gannarsein 1420	Posted - 2014.01.30 13:19:00 - [1] - Quote Forge gun is still useful, don't talk to me about swarms, they were over nerfed, you're sad, we know, continue applying lotion, maybe it'll assuage the butthurt. ANYWAY. For those who are willing to ADAPT, from a TOTALLY FRESH character you can have a good proto forge fitting for 2.5M. Many of these skills are luxuries, and aren't necessary to kill a tank (for example, I prefer using the DAU over the Ishukone). Others of these are cross-skills, like some of the weaponry skill, grenade skills, and weapon upgrades. Now. Without further ado: NECESSITIES. Weaponry 5 = 311k Heavy Weapon Op 3 = 136k Forge Gun 4 = 311k You are now the proud owner of an Assault Forge Gun, and can kill most tanks without a problem. Assuming you're not a scrub. NICE THINGS TO HAVE. Dropsuit Command 3 = 89k Amarr Heavy Frame 3 = 274k Forge Gun Op 5 = (a further) 311k Forge Gun Proficiency 1 = 32k Explosives 1 = 13k Grenadier 2 = 100k You now have a nicely rounded Ishukone Assault fitting with some STD Packed nades. ROUNDING THAT SHIT OUT. Forge Gun Proficiency 3 = (a further) 311k (feel free to go further if you really want; 3 is where it starts to get expensive) Handheld Weapon Upgrades 5 = 621k (Does this even need saying? Should I even add this? Doesn't everyone own this skill?) Grenadier 4 (5) = 622k (1.24M) You're done. You now have a double complex damage modded proficiency three Ishukone Assault Forge Gun fitting, with either EX-11 or Lai Dai Packed AV Grenades. Comes to about 3M (3.5M) SP all up, of which 2M is dedicated to the fitting, where the rest is cross-compatible, and most people have them already (grenades and damage mods) If you can't kill my HAV with this, you're a bad player (assuming I'm not using my scrub permahardened fittings). I'm sorry but there's no polite way to put it. My HAV is a fully proto-fit Gunnlogi, in case you're wondering. Now. I've invested this much SP into forges, and, more importantly, triple this on HAVs. I know people who have 20+M invested into HAVs. This fitting will screw them all. But you guys don't want to work to kill tanks, you just want to bitch. I guess I've wasted my time. IMPORTANT EDIT: IF I GOT SOMETHING WRONG, PLEASE POINT IT OUT AND I WILL FIX IT WITH CREDIT GIVEN. Happily printing ISK with permahardeners and MLT blasters. Just let me get a couple mil more before nerf, CCP!
PARKOUR PRACTIONER Redline Defense Force Seekers of the Unseen 497	Posted - 2014.01.30 13:32:00 - [2] - Quote I use remotes. And a 10 year long charge up time militia forge.

Stefan Stahl Seituoda Taskforce Command Caldari State 415	Posted - 2014.01.30 13:44:00 - [3] - Quote Unfortunately with at the onset of 1.7 I skilled into Scouts because I was expecting Scout-content soon, so my heavy skills came late to the party. But ever since I've skilled past Forgegun 3 I've had similar findings to you. This is because the Forgegun scales very well. From the top of my head: 25% DPS bonus from Forgegun operation 5, 25% DPS bonus from normal to assault forgegun, 20% DPS bonus from standard to prototype, 15% DPS bonus from proficiency, ~17% DPS bonus from two complex damage mods. This adds up to a total DPS bonus of 250% from a militia FG to a prototype assault FG, not even considering the difference in clip size. Consider now that a militia forgegun has a higher DPS than a prototype swarm launcher and you may start to imagine the power a well skilled forgegun user wields. Of course a Railrifle will still kill this forgegun user within 1.5 seconds at 70 meter range, but that's not the topic here. My conclusion is that two comparatively well skilled forgunners can absolutely deter or destroy most HAVs in the field.
Lorhak Gannarsein 1420	Posted - 2014.01.30 13:45:00 - [4] - Quote True that. I don't like remotes, though; purely personal preference; I can't get consistent results out of them like I can a forge.

I was lolBreaching tanks the other day - synched shots will kill all unhardened Gunnlogis and most decent unhardened. Madrugars, and if they ARE hardened, they're dead 4.5s later. The trick is, of course, getting into a place where you can hop your fat ass into a firing position. Ishukone is still better. Breach needs a buff to be viable (or Ishukone a nerf, I go both ways).

I like tanks they provide a serious threat to infantry and take work to destroy them The only time I cannot deal with them is when 4/5 stay in close proximity of each other WE NEED TANK NUMBERS REDUCED!!!! 4 HAV max in Skirmish 3 HAV max in domination 2 HAV max in ambush these numbers are per team.... and this change would go a long way to balance vehicles Minmatar Demolitions Specialist Plasma Cannon Pro

My conclusion is that two comparatively well skilled forgunners can absolutely deter or destroy most HAVs in the field. Mistakes! First, the operations skill reduces the charge time by 5% not damage. The Ishukone Assault does base 1500, plus 2 complex dmg mods (18.6%) + 15% prof 5 = 33.6% buff, that's 2040 per round, every 3.1 or so seconds. Also, no difference in clip size until you get to officer. Please check stats before posting. @OP - the only flaw in your fitting would be using AV nades, I get the concept, but honestly coming from a FGunner, use the fluxes instead. They are still anti-vehicle-ish, but can also remove uplinks and shields from infantry to let your SMG burn them down. NO TANK should ever be close enough to get popped with AV nades when you have a FG, and the times that they are, are very few and far between. The beautiful part about the FG in current build is it is literally the most versatile weapon on the field; Tanks? Check. Infantry? Check. Lavs? Check. Uplinks? Check. Gimme another FG on the mushroom and Bolas? Check.
Drapedup Drippedout 0uter.Heaven Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive 248	Posted - 2014.01.30 14:11:00 - [10] - Quote On a side note, to any pure FG users out there....Has anyone else been getting the FG glitch where it charges and fires normally, but does not expell the charge and the clip still reads you have not fired a shot? 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.

Also, no difference in clip size until you get to officer. Please check stats before posting. The time between two shots called the charge time, the charge time is reduced by 5% per level. Without operations skill it's DPS = dmg / chargetime, with operations skill it's DPS = dmg / (chargetime*0.75). Above I approximated 1/0.75 as being 1.25 because I'm lazy and that's a lower bound on the result. On second thought this is actually 4/3 ~= 1.34 or a 34% increase in DPS. And there is indeed an increase in clip size from militia to prototype. Please check stats before posting.

Me and a Corp mate destroyed five tanks in one match with FGs, 'nades and the help of two Orbitals yesterday. Furthermore I've realized a generally growing awareness of most ppl towards how to handle the "tank problem" quite well... There are matches though where we stand chanceless against good tankers with good skillz and vehicles. BTW: Will anything in 1.8 change the current situation with tanks VS. AV -any anouncements yet?

Lorhak Gannarsein 1421	Posted - 2014.01.30 14:32:00 - [19] - Quote Not the point, Darken. The point is that infantry AV is still incredibly viable. Forge gun is exceedingly effective still, and is actually the only way to pull back a tankstomped ambush. I have a Particle Cannon. I know tanks are better for AV. Sometimes they're not an option. Sometimes (often) I don't want to use it. For those who feel the same way but are too thick to try something new, here is me spelling it out for them.

Bayeth Mal OSG Planetary Operations Covert Intervention 16	Posted - 2014.01.30 14:43:00 - [20] - Quote 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.

Go with the tank its easy money Forge is a skill weapon, tanks are for pussies. 2-3 infantry? get them allotek hives with you lol. And a well equipped/placed FGer can render 2-3 tanks useless at the least by forcing them to pop hardeners and retreat. Good tankers are very few and far between in this game and a good FG can claim 4-5 tanks in a match easy. YOu are correct, the forge may not net you the most kills, but it certainly slows down the other team to the point that if you have a somewhat competent team, you make more of an impact on the battle than a tank. I like to think of the FG as the mass drivers big brother. It most definitely can be used as area denial, ask anyone who's tried to cap A, on the city map with a FG on the tower. However it can also smash DS's, tanks, infantry, installations, etc....
Lorhak Gannarsein 1423	Posted - 2014.01.30 14:47:00 - [22] - Quote Yep. Forge can deny tanks from anywhere, and less obviously than a huge turret poking out of the redline. And if you're not in the redline... Well. My 50k ADV forge suit would like to say hello. On an unrelated note: OHKO on Sicas is the most hilarious thing.

I've had one where my Ishukone shots would only fire when I releases the trigger. It was a bit disconcerting. I don't use forges enough to get it that often, but I can safely say that I get it with my rail gun incredibly frequently. Lag, maybe? Happily printing ISK with permahardeners and MLT blasters.

I'm asking because maybe locally the charge-timer ran out and the shooting-animation played while server-side the weapon wasn't charged yet at the time the client told it that the trigger went up. In that case a player-side solution would be to keep the trigger down even well after the shot has visually fired, even if the clip is empty and the reloading animation starts.

ANYWAY. For those who are willing to ADAPT, from a TOTALLY FRESH character you can have a good proto forge fitting for 2.5M. Many of these skills are luxuries, and aren't necessary to kill a tank (for example, I prefer using the DAU over the Ishukone). Others of these are cross-skills, like some of the weaponry skill, grenade skills, and weapon upgrades. Now. Without further ado: NECESSITIES. Weaponry 5 = 311k Heavy Weapon Op 3 = 136k Forge Gun 4 = 311k You are now the proud owner of an Assault Forge Gun, and can kill most tanks without a problem. Assuming you're not a scrub. NICE THINGS TO HAVE. Dropsuit Command 3 = 89k Amarr Heavy Frame 3 = 274k Forge Gun Op 5 = (a further) 311k Forge Gun Proficiency 1 = 32k Explosives 1 = 13k Grenadier 2 = 100k You now have a nicely rounded Ishukone Assault fitting with some STD Packed nades. ROUNDING THAT SHIT OUT. Forge Gun Proficiency 3 = (a further) 311k (feel free to go further if you really want; 3 is where it starts to get expensive) Handheld Weapon Upgrades 5 = 621k (Does this even need saying? Should I even add this? Doesn't everyone own this skill?) Grenadier 4 (5) = 622k (1.24M) You're done. You now have a double complex damage modded proficiency three Ishukone Assault Forge Gun fitting, with either EX-11 or Lai Dai Packed AV Grenades. EDIT: Drapedup Drippedout suggests flux grenades instead, because you don't need the grenades for primary damage and fluxes are more versatile. I agree with him to an extent, excepting the fact that I play a lot of ambush and the high DPS of AV nades at close range pays itself off when you spawn on top of the tank. (You still probably die) Comes to about 3M (3.5M) SP all up, of which 2M is dedicated to the fitting, where the rest is cross-compatible, and most people have them already (grenades and damage mods) If you can't kill my HAV with this, you're a bad player (assuming I'm not using my scrub permahardened fittings). I'm sorry but there's no polite way to put it. My HAV is a fully proto-fit Gunnlogi, in case you're wondering. Now. I've invested this much SP into forges, and, more importantly, triple this on HAVs. I know people who have 20+M invested into HAVs. This fitting will screw them all. But you guys don't want to work to kill tanks, you just want to bitch. I guess I've wasted my time. EDIT: PARKOUR PRACTIONER (practitioner?) likes remotes, which you can't fit on a fatsuit, so good luck using them in conjunction with a forge. EDIT: Atiim and Darken-Sol have both pointed out that a tank does it better. They're right. Spec a particle cannon on a Gunnlogi and watch the spam abate. But sometimes that's not an option, or your tank game is too shitty for justifying a 500k outlay, so you use a forge. IMPORTANT EDIT: IF I GOT SOMETHING WRONG, PLEASE POINT IT OUT AND I WILL FIX IT WITH CREDIT GIVEN. That's about right. If you cant knock out a tank with that fit then you are bad.

Like I said, that makes absolutely no sense from the "balance" perspective and it is not practical for anyone not sitting on a couple million SP. I think many players who have been playing for many months lose the perspective of what the obstacles are for most players. If your post is a"here is what I run",I have no issue with it but if it is meant as a solution for others in dealing with tanks it has several issues. I think players who have played a long time lose perspective regarding the obstacles facing most players.

But ever since I've skilled past Forgegun 3 I've had similar findings to you. This is because the Forgegun scales very well. From the top of my head: 25% DPS bonus from Forgegun operation 5, 25% DPS bonus from normal to assault forgegun, 20% DPS bonus from standard to prototype, 15% DPS bonus from proficiency, ~17% DPS bonus from two complex damage mods. This adds up to a total DPS bonus of 250% from a militia FG to a prototype assault FG, not even considering the difference in clip size. Consider now that a militia forgegun has a higher DPS than a prototype swarm launcher and you may start to imagine the power a well skilled forgegun user wields. Of course a Railrifle will still kill this forgegun user within 1.5 seconds at 70 meter range, but that's not the topic here. My conclusion is that two comparatively well skilled forgunners can absolutely deter or destroy most HAVs in the field. Deter... never truly destroy..

ROF and Splash nerf was such a slap in the face. It was overpowered when team view was on but once they did away with team view it was a really nicely balanced weapon. With AIM assit on the Millita FG seams to get lots of people excited didn't feel the Hammers effect. With the ROF Nerf if your a packing a forge gun your just a easy target now, something to be picked off by close by infantry. Again CCP, Where is the statistically numbers showing why the nerf needed? Still waiting... Forge don't get Aim assist. The splash dog was right, scrubs were using my beloved forge to get scrubs-kill. Good Forger do direct hit. The charge time nerf btw was too much. @OP i've no problem in blowing up scrub tankers. Hell, i kill blaster-tank in CQC with my beloved Grimlock.... Problem come with decent scrub tankers with SP on tanks, and with good tankers. a blaster is 100% accu up to 100 M and i've seen tank hit and kill people up to 200. With A Blaster- Gunnlogi can soak dog like a boss and you have to wait that the hardeners go down, and you have a window of opportunity of 12 second. EDIT-forgot to mention that with the actual speed they can run the hell away before you shot your second rounds If it's a 3 Hardeners Gunny it's impossibile to kill. You can't apply enough DPS to break it's rep. A Blaster madrugar can OUT-rep your FG dmg. by the time the second SHOT is fired he's back at full health. And all with a new infantry rifle ( the RR) that have 100m of effective range, so people can melt you when you try to close up to tanks If the driver is a scrub driver A Rail SIca with 2 dmg mod grants enough FIREPOWER to break every tank. If the driver is a good one he only need one and one hardeners. And without having to worry about infantry to tell in other words: why use a "Fisher-price" Pic-axe to build a mine,when you can use dinamite???? Darken-Soul wrote: Lorhak Gannarsein wrote: Yep. Forge can deny tanks from anywhere, and less obviously than a huge turret poking out of the redline. And if you're not in the redline... Well. My 50k ADV forge suit would like to say hello. On an unrelated note: OHKO on Sicas is the most hilarious thing. why are you pushing people onto FG? You are a tanker. Why not explain how easy and profitable tanking is nowadays? For the same SP investment you can get a better killing machine than the watered down forge gun could ever be. I think you have other reasons in mind than being helpful. I am a tanker, that's true. I run a particle cannon. I use the tank when I'm in squads; if I don't, we lose to tank spam. I prefer using the forge gun; it's more entertaining and challenging. And if I tell people to use a forge, I don't need to waste more time trying to kill tanks and I can do other things! so tel them to wear militia suits. Its the same thing. Why use what is weaker?

This was a few builds ago when aim assist was all the talk. You beat your chest all you want about direct fire kills but from a tactical perspective that splash nerd was a slap in the face to forge. You can talk about being pro all you want , rof and splash will bring the forge back to a balanced state. Forge Changes needed Officer Splash 3.0, Proto 2.7 Advanced 2.5 Standard 2.1.
