This is a misleading post.
The damage done by a militia 80gj railgun is 1075, about two third damage of a protoforge, and two milita mt1 missile launchers add 297 a piece to this. Fit these on a cheap sica and you can build an efficient milita tank for about 200k isk. With two gunners if you are focusing collectively on a target your militia tank is already more powerful than a proto AV, with the added bonus of doing far more DPS. This doesn't examine the relative health of a militia tank in relation to proto av.
If you are running a mil isk tank, what you are paying for is armour and shield, CPU and pg. This let's you create extremely strong tanks, with either shield or armour reppers, and turrets that deal crazy amounts of damage individually. If you don't die, you can run off and heal yourself.
What you're basically asking for is your SMALL turrets to be far more powerful than even the best AV equipment.
If you are running a tank that expensive, and crying for a forge gun nerf you're doing it wrong.

This is the only OP thing about forge gun. Otherwise, they're quite good as it is in damage and splash.
I actually like the forge range currently. It's far enough to be useful against most ground vehicles most of the time, but doesn't allow us to sink dropships from across the map (which would be ridiculous for dropship pilots.) I'm only skilled into heavy sharpshooter 3, so maybe I would feel different if I had proficiency in this skill. I think rather than nerfing its range, it makes more sense to make the forge less accurate at longer ranges. |
