Catchy title is catchy 
Anyways atm I am really the forge forge gun and I would like to squad up with some other forge gunners to get better using this weapon. The swarms are OP and take 0 , and I mean 0 skill. Now in my book , a weapon that takes no skill is not fun ... Swarms only good against LAV's .
I currently run it on a Cal Heavy frame C-1
w/ D/AU AFG ,
SMG
2 ADV DMG MODS
Lai Dai AV Grenades
ADV reps
I would also ask who is considered to be the best forge gunner in dust 514 ?

best way to get really good with the forge is by using the assault variant exclusively, as you seem to want to do.
Then play an unpredictable game mode (ambush or skirmish) as a lone wolf without tower sniping.
Ground forging infantry gets you better in a hurry, plus there is nothing better than timing the charge to direct hit that proto heavy/HMG as he rounds the corner 5m from you.

I was running the gastuns forge gun and perfectly hit the sentinel that came around the corner, but he still had 100 hp left and killed me with his hmg.

Unfortunate luck!
Never used my gastuns so can't quote the numbers, but isn't it over 2k damage? Without doing the sums, I wouldn't think that any infantry unit could survive a direct hit.
Not to say it didn't happen at all, just surprised I guess.
Perhaps the pro AmSents that have hit with the iafg have a slot for a repper...

Gastuns does around 1500... But with +damage to armor, how the heck did he survive???

A Gal Sent would survive if tanked and at full shields, given the 15% resist to hybrids VS Armor helping immensely. If he had a smidge more prof and/or D-mods he likely would have killed him.

Tips for forgegunning:
1a. Use regular forgeguns to get a feel for projectile travel time, movement, and distances for a few weeks. Anywhere topologically is fine.
1b. Switch to assault and don't go on the high ground for a few more weeks to get good at charge timing and improve on your movement sense. Stay on the ground and use it for fire support. You aren't looking to get splash damage kills right now.
2. Use the mouse/kb.
3. Get a VERY good sidearm. Spec into it and expect to use it a lot. Being a good forgegunner requires having a good sidearm and being good with it. |

The Amsent has a resistance bonus towards shields that just so happens to be railgun.

I use ishukone assault, timing shots is more fun to me than catch and release. tbh its not super worth equipping av grenades unless you're trying to toe to toe a tank, or LAV drive by squadding. The forge jas enough range to never really need to be in grenade toss range unless you're playing close range tag.
Mark a$$ tricks, and bags of dicks....

lose the damage mods for energisers on that cal heavy you can peak-a-boo with that one second delay and since you fit reps that is a c-1 series or just the c-1? you should be able to get around 90 sheild/s and have a complex armour repair too

things blow up without the damage mods survivability is more important 2 complex gives approximately 150 extra damage per shot with full skills and is pg/cpu expensive,
or
2 advanced and 1 basic energiser makes 93.33hp/sec after 1 second and a complex armour repair adds another 10.38 hp/s so 103.71hp/s after 1 second.
your dau on a calsent will do around 1500 damage per shot without any damage mods if you re fully skilled

I love forge sniping.
My forge gun usually comes out when there's an abundance of vehicles on the field. After that, it's infantry bye-bye time |

Also there's almost nothing funner than Order 66.
6 dudes with assault forges targeting proto suits till they switch down to cheapshit. It works on all the major proto stompers.

Play few games with AFG and you'll be fine.
It's not that hard afterall.
Ps. We need more light AV. Maybe swarms are getting boring but atleast you don't have to be in slowmo suits to use them.

Use the Caldari heavy, swap out the dmg mods for energisers, ditch the grenade, and the sidearm(if m/kb). Try to use peek-a-boo tactics, and dont forget to bring a buddy to give you ammo.
Get somewhere high, and try to kill all the scouts/starter fits with splash. Only practice youll ever need. |

You want skill out of the Forge Gun, huh? Use the Breach.
