If I do splash damage to someone I'm saying to myself "damn, I missed, what a waste" not "HAW, HAW! ONLY THE REST OF THE MAGAZINE TO GO BEFORE I KILL YOU!" Please by all means AV waste your 4 bullets shooting down on people which you will have to directly hit. instead of the tanks lol. AV surprises sooo much. You guys will be surprised what happens to your kill count when you can shoot down on infantry anymore. You will flame the forums harder than tankers ever could.
shooting at vehicles instead of infantry is a no-brainer. I'm not going to waste my precious Wiyrkomi BFG rounds on a starter suit running in a straight line when there is a vehicle anywhere in my field of view, because landing a single hit on a vehicle is going to get me at least 75wp, vs 50 wp for killing infantry.
But sometimes, there aren't any vehicles to shoot at, and I'm not just going to sit up there waiting for a militia lav to drive by.
What I am telling you is, most forge gunners killing infantry are doing it with direct hits, and are actually pretty good at it.
I'm using a breach forge gun, which if you aren't familiar with already has the splash damage and splash radius of a flaylock pistol, with a 4.5 second charge time. I take potshots from high ground at infantry all the time, and frequently hit my target. Nothing more satisfying than hitting a brick tanked sentinel.
Very few of my kills are from splash damage, so please believe me when I say I'm not concerned about the nerfing of the forge splash damage 
If you actually want me to stop nuking infantry with a forge gun, you'd have to look into reducing their accuracy in a way that they are just precise enough to hit vehicles but can't reliably hit smaller infantry, or give infantry some kind of damage resistance against forges |

So follow-up: Would the explosion be imaginary now? XD
It would be a harmless (to our suits and vehicles anyways) but pretty explosion, there for little more than dramatic effect. Like the special effects in a movie, fireworks, or the standard flaylock pistol |
