With player trading came more officer snipers.
Tanks were tweaked and are speedy enough to escape.
What's the problem?
FORGE GUNS.
I can't remember that last time I saw someone use it and ACTUALLY DESTROY A VEHICLE.
I was looking at some dust videos and I saw a map that I haven't been on in a LONG time. It is the perfect map for forge gunners, well was. Tanks can escape and rep quickly now and there's always that one annoying Officer sniper shooting everyone.
FORGE GUNS need a BUFF.
Damage or rof wise, it needs to be looked at.
Maybe even both. It is should be the superior av weapon. It needs like 1 sec less charge time per tier and a couple hundred more damage.

The Alldin IMP-10 Forge gun is an assault. 2.5 Base charge, higher alpha, six round mag.
WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary. This means Quafe suits are the optimal loadout for killing all of you.

Aldin's officer forge is AFG.
Forges are fine.
All I need for them are 300+ rendering distance for anyting, not only vehicles.
Sitting 200m form sniper when he see you and you not is painful.
In generaly better buff heavy frame at all.. not dedicated weapon.
If you buff weapon .. people will start hate me , but I just want to spread my music here ;)
Not much time left...

Forge guns are still excellent.
While tanking, they are scary and have to be considered about when moving around.
While using them... They still have The power.
Difficulties breaking a well designed proto tank with all modules on? Live with it. Don't expect to solo it that very moment.
Hold fire when you see some other AV open fire then open yours!
I am talking mostly as a Ishukone Assault Forge Gun user. Never fired a single shot on any of the officer forges.

They are not good. Only officer ones are acceptable. You could destroy a tank wth your 4 shots with a pro forge before tanks were tweaked. Now you can't. They can quickly escape and rep there armor. Before, they couldn't do that. The first or so shot would automatically mean fight back and get out of the tank.

Actually, the greatest attribute of forges, often overlooked, is their damage projection.
Near instantaneous, 300m radius, very accurate.
THAT is the advantage the swarms don't have!

Forge Guns are exactly where they need to be, but you can't expect a Sentinel fitting with a Forge Gun that costs 100,000 to take out a tank that costs 1,000,000. CCP intended that, to take out a tank you need at least 2 guys shooting at it. On the other hand AV grenades are a little bit too strong. Sometimes I am in my Gunnlogi Cv.0 and a scout uncloaks out of nowhere and since hardeners take 2 seconds to turn on he has already thrown 2 Lai Dai Packed AV grenades and dropped most of my shields, then one shot from the Plasma Cannon to finish of.
In my opinion the delay between each grenade throw needs to be increased by 0.5 seconds.

True, I am speaking as a pilot of a Madrugar Gv.0, if you want to destroy a tank, catch him of guard with his hardeners down, my tank takes around 400 damage with both hardeners on from a FG. Without them, around 1600.

Forge guns are great for both vehicle hunting and infantry sniping... And sometimes even when used as a kind of mid-range shotgun... Yeah, scared a few proto HMG scrubs with that, had to finish them with the SMG though.
There are a few reasons you don't see forge guns much these days.
1 - You can not equip it on a scout.
2 - AV grenades do equip on a scout and do more than any dedicated AV weapon (they are also **** cheap.)
3 - If you need a weapon to finish a vehicle after AV grenade spam, the swarm launcher doesn't require aiming.
4 - Most of the maps are tiny, you don't need range to hit the vehicle, so swarms and pogo plasma cannons are a better choice.
I prefer to fight tank with tank, or dropship with ads... So I mostly only pull out the forge gun to snipe roof camping ballbags, or pew pew the objective defending heavies.
I did however get annoyed with a wannabe tanker jumping out with swarms and av grenades, so I pulled a Gastuns on his protato tank and blew it to hell... They still work nicely, but why aim if not aiming deals more damage? |

I kindly ask that please don't make isk comparisons - they do nothing for the battlefield balance and also should not do.
Isk balancing is the worst balancing.
No matter what the price tag is, they bring absolutely no balance whatsoever for a single fight. Or a series of important fights.
While the concept if 'winning the isk war' is coming to Dust,
Thinking isk wise in this context only does harm.

While I am saying that forgers are powerful and okay,
there was some esteemed person who proved that it is impossible to break a doublerep-doublehardened madrugar by a IAFG - or two!
I checked his math and it was solid.
2rep2hard tanks in their prime can't be broken, each ~2500damage hit nets only some 300 point net damage.
BUT that still does not matter. Those plateless tanks are so vulnerable that they pop all the time when their hardeners aren't on. Instapop without a chance to activate them is common.
note that I do not want to derail this into a tank fitting discussion, I pointed out that there is a scenario where even the best FG isn't enough - but it shouldn't be able to either.
Cool if someone finds the post with calculations.

Not to go off-topic or anything but here is something I call GÇ£MythTanker's IEDGÇ£.
First you need Lai dai packed AV nades, then you set the all 3 nades in a small cirlce as a tank is coming down the avenue. As he comes pre-charge your FG, I prefer to use the Alldins. I gurantee that the tanker will **** himself as all 3 nades and the FG shell hits him at the same time. This will kill most tanks, but if not just continue shitting on him with your FG, again I use the Alldins/Gastun on a regular basis, so I have the advantage of a short charge time.

You haven't seen them on the killfeed because they just inexplicably aren't being used. Perhaps because it's harder to infantry snipe with them?
Forge guns (and large rails) but inexplicably vanished in the codex build when we needed them most: dropships were OP as hell, and swarms couldn't touch them.

They are used in every PC to roof camp.
They do better than swarms/la dai fits.
In pubs it's whatever.
Ps. Don't except to easily solo a tanker that has put dozens of millions of sp into them.

Isn't it somewhere in the swarm launcher description? Something like "When AV-ing, you should sit back, put your legs up and just pooop everywhere." |

Apparently, some people have forgotten that normal and breach variants of the Forge Gun exist. Forge guns are so balanced. Yup. And logical, too.
The assault variant is totally consistent with other weapons that bear the "Assault" descriptor.
The Normal variant? With its lower damage, worse charge time, and no splash damage, you have ample reason use it.
And the Breach? You'll frequently see it "breaching" the kill feed. Yup. Amazing AV, the Breach.
Forge Guns are totally fine.
