My timing was way off and I could only hit vehicles.
With the regular forge you just charge and fire when YOUR ready
The assault version requires you to have the target in sights and the gun timing in synch, seems much harder to do.
Even though the chargeup time is longer I do like that breach forge with its 2000+
damage, dropships dont seem to like it though, lol
The main thing seems to be finding a good spot and having enough ammo.
I will give that assault forge another try tomorrow and see how it goes.
What is your main goal when you deploy with the FG? If you're after vehicle kills first and foremost and consider kills on infantry a secondary goal the AFG is the best choice. If you're after infantry kills primarily and only shoot at vehicles at times of opportunity, the vanilla FG is much more reliable.
The vanilla FG does work as an anti-infantry weapon. On some sockets it is actually the best choice for clearing out heavies.
However, if you want to become a true legend, CQC AFG it is.
The main reason I started forging was for vehicles. I didnt even think about infantry till afterwards.
Currently I spawn in a uplink/hacker scout and then switchout to my apex shogun for forging
I lost to many officer forges so i am running the basic stromborne with 4 krins damage mods with another shogun fitting for the an advanced assault version with 2 Krins- thats all I could fit with that.
Other than getting the aiming and timing down right I am always running out of ammo. So I have skilled ammo capacity to 3 and plan to max it out.
I have been messing around with the breach forge but not being able to move while charged in addition to the 6 sec charge time is making me not want to use it.
Using the Alldins proved why everyone here says to use the assault version.
It just punishes vehicles =ƒÿ¦
I need to start skilling into a heavy frame really soon.
I was going to go with the Cal sentinal because you dont need to rely on anyone else for reps but also considering the Min since it has almost as good shield reps and can run faster for longer. Also because I have a stockpile if Archdukes
Which heavy would you recommend?
Jade I have been trying to catch you online but it doesnt seem like our schedules will allow it, hopefully we can meet up and I can learn from you.
Breakin & Slayer I will try to remember about the splash damage
Jammer I am trying, lol. Hopefully it doesnt take to long for me to get the hang of it.
Thanks to all for the input and please keep it coming
