1 Forge Gun can take out any kind of LAV. some just take more shots than others.
1 Forge Gun can put a serious scare into a Dropship if the gunner is accurate.
1 Forge Gun will NOT take out any decent HAV worth its salt. Honestly as a full time Forgegunner, if you are in a HAV and you die to One ForgeGunner, either you suck, your tank fit sucks, your gunner sucks, or some combinaton of the three.
You need at least 2, maybe 3. I'd say 2 coordinated Forges should be able to knock down a HAV with some effort. 2 Forges and a non-Militia Swarm, and that HAV may be in trouble.
the difficult thing about it is simply staying alive long enough to get all your shots in, thats why your multiple Forges/Swarms need to be really coordinated and try to hit the HAV in rapid succession.
Unfortunately, I am usually the only Forge on the field in most of my matches(because pretty much always run a Forge), so i have not had an opportunity to really go HAV hunting with another specialized AV. I imagine it could be some fun. |

Yeah. Specialized AV requires Anti-Infantry assistance. thats something that a lot of folks don't realize.
not even Assault, a couple of Logis with ARs would do it. |

A heavies dream: two totally decked out Logis running along side 
2 Forges, and Assault with Swarm Launcher and AR, Logi with AR.
1 Forge, 1 Swarm, 1 Assault, w /AR 1 Logi. w/ AR
Wondering how an "AV" Squad would work.
