Welp! You went against one of the best forge gunners. Ironhide, Spero and MAGlives are probably the best forge gunners in the game.

You just cant solo with your tank anymore unles you have good infantry support and/or a remote repper. Have someone tail you in an LAV or tank and rep you constantly. Thats the best way to stay alive right now.

Ishukone Forge is afaik a higher tier froge right? Did you also use a higher tier tank?

Forge guns are good against armor tanks and not so much against shields. Shield tankers have a higher survivability simply because there shields regenerate so quickly where as armor tankers are going to have to depend on damage resistors and armor repair modules to survive. So basically forge gunners in general have a better chance against the slower heavily armoured tanks than the faster more mobile heavily shielded tanks. That's probably why you had such a hard time against him you weren't able to get out of the way fast enough and your regen speed wasn't fast enough to get away before he got you.

If anyone says tanks are OP then they must be talking about Missiles before the Nerf. TBH never liked them, the game is better without them. Forge guns are not OP They are simply annoying, specially in the hands of someone who knows what they are doing. Ishukone forge gunner from Synergy gaming (damn that thing is crazy), i survived with just 132 HP. I could hardly come out from the spawn point, even if i did for a bit i had to go back or i was pushed back.

I can may be take a forge gunner or two if i'm lucky. But if they have a swarm buddy running around then i would have some serious problems. I like to run and gun with the tank. But its getting difficult ( I wish blue dots would cap the objective when i try to cover them, but i can only wish)

Now what should i use to be able to run and gun with a slow armor tank and have a good chance against a forge gunner or two?

Guess Ironhide finally becoming decent :P
someday the rest of us will be decent :(

I have a question. If the swarm launchers are explosive dmg isnt a forge gun an EM or Heat weapon. Therefore shouldnt it do less damage to armor compared to shields types because of the different resistances? I can take SL all day but like zero hits from a forge gun. Isnt that backwards?

GG yesterday NAV. Was fun chasing you around and dealing with that other pesky Sargaris your team had lol.

I know forge guns are more effective versus shields but shield tankers are much faster than armoured tankers. So forge gunners have an easier time against armor because of that and because armor regents so much slower.

Just get an armour tank Surya, 10K armour LOL. Forge gunners can take a few pops at you even the proto ones and youll be fine, you just have to have a safe gameplay mind. If you get hit by something nasty, back up asap. Doesnt matter if you can see it or not.

Yeah its an expensive fit, but you can run the best rep module and two armour plates on surya's and madrugars, railgun only may I add. Blasters draw too much. But you need that initial armour there to soak up the nasty proto AV gear, which appears to be everywhere and anywhere. Especially when forge gunners head glitch...

Actually, quit contrary. Forge guns are a hybrid weapon, and work equally on both health types. Furthermore, swarm launchers are actually more effective against armor tanks due to missile bonus damage. Even more, armor tanks can actually move faster than shield tanks due to the capability of more torque and speed modules. The only time a forge gun is a major annoyance is when you can't kill him, you can't run away, and he's got a buddy/prototype gear.

A speed module. There are boosters. Torque. And chassis modules. Only the chassis modules reduce your armor for a speed increase. And i would highly advise against using one if your an armor tank. There are better ways to increase your speed
