An easier way to fix this is to make the rail guns MORE like forge guns.

If they did the same damage and splash then the tank will have its shields and armour whilst the forge gunner has manoeuvrability.

It's a fair fight. If some one has got a PROTO forge gun and spent the SP to get there good luck to them, HAV drivers better put more SP into survivability rather than PEWPEW Glass cannon tanks.

You've obviously never skilled in HAVs. Majority of us have actually maxed out our Vehicle skills, not just turrets.

ahh no.

What im basically saying is Forge Guns are OP, they should have ZERO splash damage and a shorter range then they would be balanced. Keep the direct damage as it is thats fine

Forge gun is the most OP gun in the game right now, Its the only weapon that can do EVERYTHING in game. From Sniping across the map, anti Infantry, anti Air and anti Vehicle.

Its massive damage and large blast radius makes it the weapon of choice for an all round playe

try kill a forge gunner who keeps popping up over the top of a mountain while they spam forge blasts at you then you will see how defenceless a HAV is

What you said right before he said this is that vehicles are a good counter to snipers (particularly true in the case of HAVs), while conceding that snipers are a good counter to Forge Guns, which in turn confirms that they're easily countered by one of the most prevalent weapon types on the battlefield, thus making them definitely NOT OP.

You may not be OPENLY admitting to that concession, but you still made it.

I take it you dont drive?

Ther is only so much you can do, i have perfect support skills for my tank and if i wanted i could whack it upto 10k shields but tbh that would be useless because the resistances got nerfed and i have no room to for them anyways with a 10k shield, even the active 10sec active 30sec cooldown useless tbh but better than the nerfed passive mods, AV can hit me from across the map anyways without even trying before i even get into killing distance

So i swap to a armor tank it gives me more hp overall like a 8k mauarder or 10k plus suyra but whats that i can see? oh yes swarms from across the map hitting me because they bend around cover like that and wiping out shields and more armor because they have a 30% damage bonus to armor

Tanks are weak when compared to AV to begin with so we dont have much choice anyways since resistances got nerfed, 2 out of 3 turrets got nerfed, AV does more damage to armor tanks and also armor tanks do not have active resist mods either

As for the Large railgun should act like a forge gun lolno maybe the small can but the large should always do more range/dps/splash damage and radius than the forge gun

ahh no. your wrong. A forge gunner can do the same back to a sniper, he doesn't even have to hit the sniper to OHK him.

forge gunner can kill EVERYTHING in a game if that's not OP I don't know what is.

All I see in this thread are Forge users crying "please don't Nerf my god mode"

HTFU

my forge gunning gear costs 200k a suit and your tank costs you double.

Try 5x. easily.

"You need a squad if you wanna **** with me."

Now I find that funny even though it seems straight forward. You should need a squad, but so do tanks. How fair is it that my forge gunning gear costs 200k a suit and your tank costs you double, yet you want to be 5 times stronger then me.

I'm really sorry tankers, but even in real life a single infantry can take out a tank if they know what they're doing, and using terrain falls under that category. You're a big hulky metal monster who doesn't have a gun pointed in every direction, a well placed infantry should be able to strap on explosives to your tanks tracks and take you out. And considering the way Ambush is played, tanks should struggle, people are spawning all around them and everyones put SP into AV by now.

And FYI, if you tankers haven't figured out the counter to forges, it's not missiles anymore. May want to ask around which certain constant stream of death us fatties are starting to fear most these days.

No, I'm not wrong (or should that be "my not wrong" to fit with your atrocious grammar?). YOU indirectly conceded the point that snipers can counter Forge Guns. In responding to another player's comment about Snipers using sensible tactics to kill Forge Gunners, you suggested having a vehicle to help the Forge Gunner out, which implies that snipers are effective against Forge Guns. I'm correct in pointing out that your comment in that situation was an admission of that point, whether you're willing to directly admit to it or not.

Tanks are like buying computers.

If I buy a crappy laptop, I may just get some weak virus finder system and enjoy my ****. If I have a super expensive PC, I'd make damn sure nothing happens to it.

One system can handle and do more, but both can be wrecked by the same viruses.

And hackers are like forge gunners. They can send out a devastating payload, but once caught and in sight they're doomed.

You know what I keep reading on the side of "FORGES ARE OP." It's, "I can't solo a forge who uses terrain correctly." ... In a team based game where tanks used to say, "You need a squad if you wanna **** with me."

Forge gun is hilariously OP. If you think otherwise you are just attached to it cause its a jack of all trades weapon that does AV and AI equally well.

Yep.. I see forge gunners go 20-0 every game wtf CCP !!!


(Sarcasm)
In case you didn't get it.

Actually last build i use to go close to 20-0 and had a game with 30 some kills and 2 deaths running forge only.

Yeah I get close to those types of scores now on line harvest every ambush with it too but it doesn't help when arguing for the forge

Basically I'm trying to say you will not go 20-0 every game with a forge gun to where as you'll have way more luck (guaranteed) to do it with an AR.

With the recent changes to small missile turrets, it only seems obvious that the forge gun is going to be the next to face the nerf stick, with the large splash on the assault proto forge, and the superior range to any dropship on the field, it is only a matter of time.

Still Bitter I see.

Have you tried forgeing people?

To those that can and do my hats off to you that takes some skill.
