WTF IS SHOOTING ME??! WHERE IS IT?!?!

exactly. unless you happen to look right at it, you have no indication that there is a forge gun, or even where. You can hear them if they are close, but that is it, there are no direction indicator hinting where you need to focus your fire.
At all.

Swarm launchers I can usually deal with. I take off at full tilt, try to get behind cover, and outrun the missiles long enough to recover enough shield to take the hit.

Forge guns, especially if there are 2 or 3, I just die with little to no warning, and little to no way to avoid the damage.

True, unless you or your two other gunners spot the slow lumbering heavies with your combined ability to very easily have a 360 degree field of view then of course they are dead in 1 or 2 hits, but other than that you have absolutely no way of avoiding forge guns in you tank that is WAY FASTER than a heavy. Also a Sagaris Tank user told me he had effectively over 10000 total shield and armor and 50% reduction in damage taken, huh that would make a single assault forge gun do 630 damage I wonder how many shots it would take to kill that tank. I guess Needing 15+ shots to kill a tank definitely would not give them enough to time to react, I guess they need to get beefed up, hey CCP give tanks more armor, sheld, and speed the forge guns are way too OP towards them.

Yes, That was my tank. And yes I do not have to worry about forge guns very much unless there are multible ones it is still annoying not seeign where it is commign from.. With people glitching to teh towers it is hard to tell if it is someoen of the ground or some noob from way high up.. usaly you can just look around and tell, but it is still very agravateing. And yes, tanks should be much more. I make enough for 2 tanks a round when I spawn one.. I have so much isk I cant even spend it all... Even if the base tank went up to 1.4 mill i could still buy a few.. But tanks should be like capitals in EVE, you dont take them out very often unless you need to or have support. They are very cheap now but that is because they are in the BETA and need to be tested. Right now people can spam sagerouses.. I was in a match where we were killing one before it could land because we had the attackers pushed back to base spawn and he spawned like 5 or 6 of them in a row.. you also have to realise that in the BETA we have a boost in SP and ISK earned.. That in the real game we will probaly make a lot less. (Im not sure though because the game is not even close to being done)
