Im fed up that a AV weapon can be used as a anti infantry weapon. Its time to screw it up like with swarms. if you want a hand wielded railgun then you should have the same penalty. CCP should reduce the blast radius to 1.0m that should prevent it to be missused as AV weapon. Dont see a reason why a weapon that acts like a railgun shouldnt share the same penalty. Oh and reduce the blast damage to something like 100HP max.

There are only two types of Heavy weaponss - what would you say if I suggested nerf half of Light weapons?

The issue is the perfect accuracy when crouched. If it even had slight dispersion, it could not snipe infantry at any real range.

Ditto for tanks missiles and rail guns. we shoot what you shoot.

perfect accuracy when crouched? whatttt? pretty sure at any range the blast goes in the general area of where you aim


but yes lets get rid of the blast radius of a forge gun. make a heavy even more fckin easy to kill. for those that say well you have a sidearm...yea an smg or pistol is def gunna save me against an ar... forge gun is fine the way it is. if you get killed by a forge gunner on foot then kudos to the heavy, either he got a lucky shot, or you stayed in the same spot and let him range it in.

i have used forge guns 3 builds now i think? they do not need any change to them. swarms got adjusted becuase scouttards ran around spammin them at their feet magically taking no damage.

If it is not a direct hit, you need 2-3 shots to down a militia assault. With a breach forge that sums up to approx 20-30 seconds. If you cant get out of there in half a minute or kill the (defenseless) forge gunner then you fail.

Accuracy on Forge guns is total crap.
Not only that, but they seem to have poor range too.
Not only that, but speed and mobility and steal are all crap because you have to be a heavy.
Not only that, but you can't hear a thing when you are charging because they don't give you ****ing earmuffs with the gun.
Not only that, but they don't allow you use an equipment slot so your few rounds are all you've got.
Not only that, but when you charge up you either slow down considerably or stop completely.
Not only that, but the rounds don't evade walls like swarm missiles can.
Not only that, but the gun lights you up like a christmas tree.
Not only that, but the rounds can do pretty poor damage.
Not only that, but to train the secondary skills you need more SP as they are an x3 skill.

Yeah. Nerf forge guns.

PS you know how AV weapons get thru all of that armor??? MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF ENERGY!! => slower firerate, less ammo, lots of noise and and light, god awful fitting requirements, but no they need a nerf because you can be bothered to notice where they are and to get out of their way.

ps ive never play heavy dont want to, and i will agree that some of the high end tank missle could use a splash damage nerf, but not most of them.

1. a forge can pop a dropship out of the sky the breach has poor range because its a breach varient
2. thats a issue with the heavy suit
3. theres nothing to hear any way
4. thats the heavy suit not the forge
5. thats the type your using get a different forge
6. the rounds also one shot everything
7. forges are shock and awe people scatter when they see that christmas tree
8. you should be able to one shot anything with a forge if you can aim
9. thats the price of having damage measured in 1000s

this wouldnt even affect thier ability to kill tanks its a nerf aimed at stopping thier AI uses whats the problem with stopping a weapon from being used as a AI when its clearly meant to be AV?

edit: obviously they dont one shot tanks or dropships but thats not what this tread is aimed at its aimed at stopping a AV weapon from being used as a AI weapon which the forges is fairly effective at

all forge guns have the same range

rounds do not one shot everything...you do 250 splash..90% of suits have more hp then this so a one shot is not gunna happen..unless you get that luck direct hit

ppl scatter when they see the christmas tree? HAHAHAHAAHAHAH when im not using the forge and i see a christmas tree, i go right for it. Why? cuz i can kill the heavy with my ar before he charges the forge, and if he switches to a sidearm ill just back up a bit so im out of his range

forge has to be fairly effective as AI cuz well lets see you are slow suit, only have 16 rounds (seems ppl forget about the small ammo supply), at times ur rounds seem to just dissappear (framerate issue still i believe), sidearms are a joke against an ar.


so yea lets nerf forge gun splash damage, make a forge gunner a true suicide route (probly dont even get my 72 virgins when i die). take away splash damage and anyone close truly will track down the heavy. stay at 50m and unless they are a god with a pistol, you will kill them all the time
