I-Shayz-I I-----I 2145	Posted - 2014.02.02 11:21:00 - [1] - Quote I personally enjoy both of them, as the breach is great for sniping tanks, and the assault is good for general purpose AV along with being decent at taking out infantry. However when it comes to straight up dps, the breach wins because it doesn't have to reload as often, while the assault might take 1-2 reloads for a tank. The breach is also much better at getting that alpha damage hit in before they can activate hardeners. With most shield tanks you can almost guarantee a 2-3 hit kill if they don't run away or have a booster. The Assault is much better for chasing a tank around a map though as the charge-up time and ability to move while charging makes getting a shot to connect very easy. The main problem with the Assault variant though is the lack of alpha, and the fact that you can't hold a charge. While the breach can sit and wait for a tank to roll around a corner, the assault variant can be somewhat tricky to time, especially against a moving vehicle. All in all, I've killed more tanks with the breach forge, but have dealt more damage with the assault. I also think the assault fits my playstyle more. The main problem is my movement speed. Once the minmatar sentinel comes out I'll probably do much better with the assault since I won't have to worry so much about waddling from one location to the next trying to get a good shot on the tank.

castba Penguin's March 319	Posted - 2014.02.02 11:40:00 - [4] - Quote Breach for that heavy initial hit. Was assault prior to 1.7 but with how HAVs are right now I find myself having to hit twice to scare then chase them around the map. Too much playing for my liking.

Pretty much this, I've got prof 5, before 1.7 I used afg 95% of the time, no it's more 75% bfg and then 25% afg. DUST514 Weapon Range & Information Team Fairy DUST
Arx Ardashir Imperium Aeternum 516	Posted - 2014.02.02 12:54:00 - [7] - Quote I used to love the AFG as it was useful against both vehicles and infantry. I haven't touched anything but militia since Uprising, as I'm saving my SP for the Amarr AV. I do like that the Breach Forge Gun's acronym is BFG, though. I contribute nothing.

Gelan Corbaine Gladiators Vanguard 311	Posted - 2014.02.02 13:59:00 - [11] - Quote Assault . I can sometimes straight up dance duel a blaster tank on flat ground with it . No job is worth doing if you don't get paid in the end .

Patrick57 Fatal Absolution 4585	Posted - 2014.02.02 15:27:00 - [15] - Quote I prefer the Assault Forge Gun. I don't think the lack of being able to hold a charge as a drawback, because I can get my shots off faster.
N1ck Comeau Ahrendee Mercenaries EoN. 1962	Posted - 2014.02.02 15:30:00 - [16] - Quote Assault for tanks and Lav's. Breach for dropships, (1hko) Minmatar Assault. Hopeful Caldari Scout soon. praying for that respec.

Tried the breach, but the inability to move which charging and holding the charge is becoming difficult to me... I feel more like a sitting duck than a heavy. Haven't tried the assault yet.

ROMULUS H3X research lab 20	Posted - 2014.02.02 18:54:00 - [21] - Quote Ehhhhh.... Breach Forge is boring. Sit still for more than 5 seconds and you are ASKING to be murdered. Nothing like running into combat with my Assault Forge and slaylock as backup, give a HMG user a nice Forge Face while he's siting on a point with maxed out armor plating. Personally I have not found a circumstance that my Assault Forge couldn't handle, that a Breach Forge gun could.... you just gotta have a good shot and an even better 'Internal Forge Clock'. I prefer being able to strafe as well, it's a true Forger's best friend. But don't let me tell you what to do... To each their own, right? P.S. If you are running mainly AV and not running Slaylocks, you are a FOOL. Personally I have finished off numerous Gunnlogis, Maddys, even drop ships have felt the wrath of my Slaylock.... try it, I DARE you.
NextDark Knight Hellstorm Inc League of Infamy 167	Posted - 2014.02.02 19:07:00 - [22] - Quote Afg, It's not enjoyable to use since the rate of fire was increased, i find myself using the breach even with the undocumented splash reduction. Forge Changes needed Officer Splash 3.0, Proto 2.7 Advanced 2.5 Standard 2.1. Original ROF needs to return!

Sir, the charge time increased not the rate of fire (but i'm sure that's what you meant). Also, why are you using the breach to kill with splash damage.... kinda fighting against the grain don't you think?
