Since the tank nerf I dunno if the forge gun is a bit OP in my opinion, I drove a tank with a very very high shield bonus. At objective B in Skirmish on the map where the NULL cannon is almost on the top of a tower I THINK it was a guy with a forge gun shooting at my tank across the map as I was on the other side of the map. I am not completely sure if he was there but still it was a HUGE gap between me and the guy with the forge gun. And ofcourse, three hits with the forge my shields were down and 20% of tank health gone, and then two more hits and my tank was gone, but still I do not think a tank is supposed to get soloed down by one guy, it should take ATLEAST 2 people with good guns to take it down. Know it is many threads about the same thing but this was my situation. Recap: Guy takes down a tank from across the map, it should not be possible.
EDIT: Sorry, somehow i ended up in Feedback and Requests, should be in general discussion. Sorry |

For most players equipped with medium+ range weapon a heavy with a forge gun is pretty much a free kill. (unless he gets a lucky shot with the forge-gun or the player thinks it's good idea to stand still and take the shot. I play TAR-assault and no forge-gunner gets chance to get 5 hits against my teams tanks on my watch. Gcember wrote: but still I do not think a tank is supposed to get soloed down by one guy,

Why should something that requires just one person to operate, need multiple people to take down? Things like that just break the balance and render everything else just meaningless. E.g Why spec to infantry when everyone could just spec to tanks that require a team/squad to take down and most importantly can solo other tanks?
1. Forgot to mention that this was an Ambush match, my team was pretty much everywhere on the map, but i recall the huge gap between me and the other guy.
2. You have a point there my friend :) Never thought of it that way :) My issue was mostly pointed at the distance between me and the enemy, other than that you are right :) |

Forge-gun is like a portable rail.gun, it's fairly bad against infantry and you are forced to use slow heavy armor with it. Forge-gun users are basically giving away most of their anti-infantry power to fight off vehicles.
Yep, there is the issue with the tank nerf, we will have portable railgunners all over the place I am afraid, seen lots of more forge gunners than before. |

Looked around on the forums about the forge gun, and some people said it had less range than before? |

As the tank is not so fast and I did not have so much cover and other threats lurking around it is quite hard to move without getting shot and if you just stand still there other guys Will take the tank down, to answer touren question I wap unable to move without getting shot, I recall that I am not sure if the stood were he did but still 14.8 seconds does not matter, he took the tank down solo, ot would not matter if I were behind cover for 5 minutes, if i har moved he would have shot again, even if he respawned he would try to take the tank down again. |
