depends on the vehicle: Shield or Armor Tanked

For free and against land vehicles, i'd say go starter swarm fit. Dropships tend to get away from swarm launchers, but it at least keeps them from just hovering and their gunners from whaling on you and your team.
Forge guns are really for those dedicated to AV. It can be a little unforgiving using them at first but you get used to it and adapt. The forge is EXCELLENT for putting lots of damage down immediately on your target, even dropships (if your aim is up to par). They're pretty much the only thing I bother bringing to a vehicle fight and I tend to get a little nasty with them. They cost a metric f*ck ton(ne) for basically anything above Tier 1 guns.
If you only want to work up a basic forge fit, I wouldn't really recommend it because if you're interested in just being assault/logi/scout, then that SP and money could be better used elsewhere.
TL;DR Forge gun > Swarm Launcher |

Then I would say go forge gun. Practice with just the Tier 1 basic forge when you can until you get the hang of charge times, leading targets, etc. I'd also suggest deciding on whether to pack AV grenades or flux grenades. Flux grenades work wonders against shield tanks and affords you more potential of actually destroying the tank.
One thing to be aware of is that once you get a tank down to about 1/3 to 1/4 of it's armor, people will start bailing out. If you have good enough distance, work them with the forge. If not, let your team mates clean up, you'll get all the credit you want from just taking out the tank. |

Yea Bailers get on my nerves. go down with the Tank dammit.
I've been using Swarms mostly, because I couldn't afford Forges. but now that I have the Heavy Suit skillbook, I'm starting to work on Forge Gun Operation.
both take a while to shoot, just in different ways. and I like how I can hold the charge until the target comes into view...or cancel the charge by hitting spriint.
need to work out the effective range of the Forge. with a swarm I can aim at something and send missiles from across the map. doesn't seem so with the Forge. |

Just don't forget that the effective range will increase with the heavy weapon sharpshooter skill. |

Forge is better for dropships as they are usually packing lotsa shields, swarms for land because of armour |

Yes, if you see caldari go with the forge gun. Even works well versus caldari tanks.
