The point of a forge gun is taking out vehicles at range. No zoom makes that hard. vehicles run soon as they get hit and run and escape because I miss one shot because he is so far away.

Give it significant slows down while aiming and you've got yourself a deal.

Yep but who cares that wasn't op anyway that took skill to do. You had to have good timing. And now they nerfed the forge guns range so.

Vehicles fill the entirety of your reticle within the forge gun's range. You don't need to zoom in.
As for them running away, try shooting where they WILL be, not where they're at. Lead your target.

Pffft Forge Gun sniping is the pinnacle of low skill. Maybe if you're using an Assault Forge it needs timing but pffft

I've forge sniped before and it's not so hard. It's harder with a Mass Driver. Try a mass driver, scrub.

What do you expect me to do? Stand there as you blow me up?
If I could fire back at you with a blaster in any meaningful way without having to drive up to within 20m of my target..... to be fair I'm not complaining I dont think Large Turrets should be Anti Infantry guns......
But why oh why can I not switch to the Small Turrets I have mounted on my HAV?

The relationship between charge-to-fire and vehicle speeds is an old issue. The gap between the two is bigger now than ever before. I don't think sticking a zoom option is going to fix it.
Frankly Large Rails have rendered the Forge Guns into Hipster weapons. Get an HMG and stay in cover out of sight from HAVs and angry Assault Dropships. The only reason to mess with FGs now is in high functioning squads that can coordinate their DPS.

Maybe not zoom, but have L1 enter a "precision aiming" mode, where finer adjustments can be made. |

Oh, that is very sad indeed, you have the SAME range as the large railgun (you don't even have the elevation problem of a tank) and twice the range of a swarm laucher... The 4 things that have a superior range to you are :
- Automated missile launcher (because it is broken)
- Sniper rifles
- Null cannon
- Missiles that the MCCs are launching beetween themselves and that sometime hit a dropship
So don't cry about your range...

I'm also a level 3 proficiency swarm launcher you know... So talk me about range nerf when you want.
Just to laught, try to kill a dropship or a tank by doing it solo with a swarm like you can do with a forge-gun and we will talk about this.

Hey I now the swarm got nerfed hard.
I just thought that a zoom wouldn't be this much of terrible thing. think of a really small zoom.

This could give a boost in public matches as the dropships there run as soon they are hit. For that case only it could be interesting (and i'm still very skeptical at this idea). However, it is impossible because we would definitly have more roof camp than we already have in public/FW.
And it would be worse by far in PC. In particular on the cargo hub and production facility maps where forge gun can deny tanks dropships and infantry on the main combat area (the town). In other words, it would reinforce what is already a "camp win spot".

I and many other forge gunners like to send brick tanks hurtling through the sky. Don't give us a zoom. That's just OP. I can already beam snipers if they are within my 300m limit. |
