Here is my reason. I skilled into Adv Swarms and i have proto forge gun with prof. 3 .... first off you have to shoot all and reload about 2 times with swarms just to kill a madrugar because its Total Hp is 5200 :P my next reason... my forge gun was a beauty and still is but tanks move too fast.. the moment i let my first shot off the tank is already on the other side of the map either 1 out of my range or behind cover and that goes for swarms too the moment they get hit they drive backwards or fowards so fast and there is so many collidable objects in a map that your swarms hit them instead of the target because they track after it.... honestly i would run AV all the time I used to be AV and Logi but i find it difficult now adays but you are right it does give mad WP and ISk just hard to do when you have to use all ur ammo to kill a tank :3 :P :)

That's actually been a long running problem in this game. Well over a year ago in 2012 the games changes with vehicle speeds had pretty much dictated which FG was desirable or useful. When roadkilling was trending up in Chromosome. I rushed to max out the FG skill and switch to assaults for a chance to nail the LAV before becoming a hood ornament. In early Uprising after the emergency HP most vehicles received you could identify the experienced HAV TC by his use of terrain and keeping in motion. Now that vehicle speeds and the charge-to-fire gap is even greater the problem has been underlined in the extreme. Good TCs from last year have been made godly by using those honed skills. I truly wish I had made that game trend more clear last year, CCP might have not screwed up like they did in December.

As for the main topic why would I use a Forge Gun when a Large Rail gets the same points faster and has a reasonable chance of killing the target? If only I could stop myself from trying to drive HAVs like LAVs... *sigh*
