Ops, yea, sorry, brain fart. Hope what I said is still understandable lol

I love the forge with all my <3 My favorite combo will always be an LAV, SMG, and Forge. The ultimately stomp combo. If you know your spots, you can hold pretty much every objective safely from a distance and no 1 person can handle you.

Only objectives inside buildings make my forge combo a bit sad - but long corridors often work out for it :)

Shield tanked LAV, harden it and hop out. Most tankers will go for it rather than the Sentinel, why gives you time to take shots from behind your mobile cover. Used to work well before the last tank tweak.

For the Sentinel, try two Rechargers, an Extender and a side arm or Krin's mod. Swap the Extender for another Recharger if you prefer.

I do this as well, but I like to do this with my bpo LAV. I call it in and use it as bait for tanks. just drop it in a field or street. As they come in, throw out your flux nade and hit it in the sweet spot before it can run. 2 shots and most HAVs are done for. HAVs can't resist blowing up a LAV as it comes in. Or sometimes I will see the reds hack it and get in, that is just funny as I drop the hammer!

So, I'm not the only Forge Gunner using Flux Grenades. I prefer them for tank hunting over AV Grenades, if I get the drop on a HAV.

One time, just burning Aurum gear I got from salvage, I booby trapped a BPO LAV and left it out in the open. Waited until it was hacked and loaded up, then blew the charges. Points and tears rolled in.

Balistyc Farshot OUTCAST MERCS General Tso's Alliance 166	Posted - 2015.05.07 15:37:00 - [1] - Quote CCP Rattati wrote: RE nerf and AHMG buff, what do you say my dear fatties Thank you! I haven't used the AHMG since the buff, but I agree that it should be able to hit the broad side of a barn. Having been a heavy, I eat them up because they know that at 30 meters, I own them with the CR. I would also say to reduce the dispersion on the burst HMG and simply reduce the ammo in the hopper. That or take down the overheat. No one runs those anymore. If someone is running it still, let me know how you use it, because I used to love it as my fellow heavy combat tool. Now you have to use the boundless or AHMG and the burst is just an over heating ammo hog that can't hit anything. Too much risk for the reward. Thanks for helping out the heavies, the last nerf, plus buff hurt. You won't see heavies in LAVs but you will now see 1 or 2 on the bridge with AHMG pushing back the waves, just as they were intended. Heavies are team anchors and really need to be the bricks they were intended to be. Reducing the RE frisbee and the raining myo REs will be huge in PCs. In common matches you didn't see this as badly. Instead you get more of the RE on the uplink, but that will happen. From Logi, to Heavy, to Scout, now I am moving to ADS. Please stop balancing!

Holding a point is so much harder now due to all the nerfs on us heavies and enhancements to ranged weaponry. We did get some buffs though, we just need to be able to exploit them. Like the AHMG, I use that exclusively now and even the Alex can't win against me in toe to toe, just aim for the headshots. The accuracy will give you the advantage. I think Ratati is trying to push heavies to stop standing in place and controlling the fights. That is why the TTK has been decreased for heavies by increasing weapon dmg and making hit detection/dispersion a joke. I use my Amarr heavy, but I put 2 enhanced reps on. That way, I can hit the enemy, then pull back and my reps will pick me back up enough to be ready for a fight again by the time I finish my reload. True, a logi is useful in that situation, but I expect my logis to be fighters first and healers second. That is how I play them, and people beg me to logi when I am not the heavy. Plus, when I am reloading, I want my logi shooting the enemies. The signature says it all. New tactics state you try the hit and duck method. Watch the ranged fire from lasers and SCR because you can't fight back against those. Instead duck and make them close the gap. I wish CCP would stop the old heavy hate and make the explosives resistance higher so we weren't so pestered by MDs, but CCP has learned that nerfing and buffing is going to be a losing game. If you want to be a jerk, pull out an Amarr Commando and ranged fight back. I don't have a min mando otherwise I would try the combat rifles. One assault one standard. CQC and ranged anti armor.

That is due to the fact that it has the ability to be defense and attack. Just because some people want to use it solely for defense does not make it an ideal candidate for respec. I think the Gal sent is the second best for the forge gun. That is because it is able to rep through sniper and RR fire while having enough high slots to put on a myo and a some dmg mods. Hell, the gal sent is great for charging points due to the fact it isn't going to be as slow as an Amarr sent and doesn't need a rep leash to charge assaults. If there is a heavy there waiting, yeah, that is a tactical disadvantage, but that happens. Use your speed to maneuver down some stairs or away to out range, kill the logi, and fight the second heavy from his max range. If it is a Cal sent, you won't outrun it if you have a complex plate, but hopefully you brought some flux nades for those squids. Personally I find the min sent useless, but that is just me. The suit has very little EHP so it isn't really a heavy. Yeah, you can jump around with a forge gun or HMG, but you will lose out to any other heavy in CQC and you are too slow to fight the commandos and assaults. I hate how the only officer heavy is the Archduke. It just doesn't feel worth the skilling. This is the same argument they had with the scouts! Yes, the Gal scout was the most superior in the current meta due to the high low mix and reps making hit and run ideal for a scout. Cal scouts should be better but having very few low slots they can't stack a red, green, and damp. Does that mean the scout is useless, NO! It means it has a different play style. Same with Heavies.
