If it didn't take out a Militia LAV in one shot, that "Milita" LAV wasn't Militia.

Plus, if you're just using the level 1 forge gun, it doesn't do much compared to a prototype.

My free LAV can take one hit from a non "breach" forge and keep going... you just need to know how to set them up with free BPO's. So many people don't change their set up of their free LAV... knuckleheads.

A breach FG would OHK it though...

But my saga... that's a different story all together.

When you fit it, it's not a true Militia in the way he means - he means the free ones everyone gets that people don't invest in - the "starter" fits.

. I have a Saga personally that runs 300,000+, but the top level AV grenade costs less than 10% of that cost

Your point's, invalid. Your overall idea, valid. Picture this. 2 maxed Myrons and 2 maxed gunlogis + infantry vs a field full of forge gunners + infantry. Vehicle side wins hands down every time. Why? Well, forge guns have limited range and poor aiming, so being semi close to a target is a must. In order to get close to a tank, you have to navigate through dropship fire and infantry. Who's gonna take out the dropships so you can get at the tanks? Swarm launchers? Ha! Oh, right, you. Ok. So you try to line up a shot on a dropship, you have it in your sights, you fire right at it, and.... nothing. Why?! Oh, right, not enough range. Well, got to get closer. Oh wait, freaking tanks.

Yes, you can upgrade your forge range. Guess what? A dropship or tank turret can still hit you with OHK missiles FAR outside even max range on a forge gun. And missile splash damage? WAY better than forge gun splash.

Missiles are the real issue here sonce no one has been complaining about rail guns or blasters recently. I have a forge gun that cannot hit you to 5HK you, but YOU CAN hit ME with a missile that will OHK me.

Pilots say "My vehicle SHOULD be taking them out easy, that's what it's made to do!" Perhaps. Except your argument doesn't take into account the fact that this is not real life where things are supposed to work as they do in real life, this is a game where things must be balanced in order to succeed. Also, your argument doesn't take into account that forge guns are weapons that do not exist in reality and therefore cannot be gauged against what you know about tanks in real life.

Edit: As for the pricing issue, aka "Tanks cost way more than forge guns!". HMG's cost way more than assault rifles as well, but AR's still kill HMG users quite often. And LAV's can be pretty darn expensive too with turrets and damage mods and all, but a decent level AV 'nade takes them out just as easy for a fraction of the cost of the LAV. I have a Saga personally that runs 300,000+, but the top level AV grenade costs less than 10% of that cost

I don't agree when people use the 'tanks are expensive therefore their dominance is justified' argument. People who write this usually compare the price of a tank to the price of a Forge Gun + Suit. As an AV specialist, I can tell you that it takes sometimes 5-10 heavy suits equipped with forge guns dying while trying to get into a postition to shoot at the tank. If you add up the price of the suits, it's more than the price of the tank. Meanwhile that heavy suit who died and respawned 10 times just to down that tank and help his team out is not earning xp or isk worth of snutt but the tank would have gone 15/0 by that point. The math is painfully obvious.

9K330 with x2 Enhanced Damage Amplifiers and Weaponry Lvl 5. Honestly, I haven't seen many LAVs on the field that could handle more than one direct hit when I've been playing.

Nicely put

When it takes more than 1 direct hit to take out a militia lav you know it is kinds worthless.

Militias explode when you look at them, you're doing it wrong.

I think CCP is planning for megacorporate war funding, honestly. ****, I could keep a platoon crapping out fits for a long time with about four hours of work. I shudder to think of how much funding TEST or the DRF will be able to chuck at groundwars.

I am sure that once market prices are unhinged in Dust there will be huge inflation and money from from EvE to Dust will be balanced. ie huge even corps would not be infinitely rich in comparison anymore.
