I've killed about 8-10 HAVs with a militia forge so far.
The number would be higher but the other thirty I have been shooting at declined to remain in convenient places for me to shoot them like stunned sheep.
or they were tanked properly.
In most cases both.
A good shield tank loses maybe 1/8th of it's shield to a militia forge. A good driver doesn't stand still with his well-tanked HAV while I fire the nine times and reload twice in order to gank him.
The only good tanker I got had pissed us all off and there were like six or more of us bombarding him with swarms and forges of all types.
Killshot came from a Ishukone Forge |

and honestly i think maybe if they nerfed that then they should add that as the militia av standard and remove MLT swarms.. i mean hell you have to have weaponry five to use them properly anyways
militia forges are useless versus proper fit HAVs I've shot 4 dropships with them, but none of them popped. it was a disappoint. HAV kills all sat there while I unloaded the clip, reloaded, unloaded the clip, reloaded and unloaded again, or thought they were clever and tried to pop back and forth from cover predictably.
Now when you have a skilled tank driver get killed by a solo militia forge WITHOUT being bombarded by multiple aggressors I'll take this more seriously as long as it happens more than once, and doesn't involve the tank getting caught and stuck on terrain or something stupid.
Personally i think vehicle recovery options should be implemented if you think the AV situation is too hot. With the same limitation of vehicle delivery. Takes time to arrive, and if you call to close to buildings the RDV can crash and fall on your toy.
i don't care if LAVs get one-shotted. Shooting a jeep with an antitank weapon should pretty much do that. But I've hit LAVs that took two shots. I've heard of three, but never seen. |

Oh wait, I forgot the important part.
Ask me if I think militia forges are NEEDED.
Personally IMHO the first militia heavy weapon should have been a dumbed down HMG, since that doesn't need weaponry 5 to use the basic one.
Do i think militia forge is OP?
Not a chance in hell. Mt KD ratio with a forge suit setup is around 1 kill per 5 deaths when I'm rocking out in the zone and everything goes right.
tanks that are properly tanked and have secondary turret gunners whup my ass almost every time if I try them solo. The ones that don't I merely chase off behind cover several times before a match ends.
But do I think the militia forge is necessary?
No. A militia HMG setup would be the best thing for aspiring heavies |

Militia Forge is 1.5k ISK, deals 1.2k Damage, isn't really slow to charge up and I can easily kill Infantry with it.
Started playing again yesterday, took out two tanks with it and got quite a few Infantry kills.
Rolled around in my Gunlogi afterwards and got popped by a Militia Swarm and Forge Gunner (Militia Swarm got the kill) and then later on got killed by Militia Forge Gun (I don't think he was the only guy firing though).
I mean, I was starting to get SP into my AV weapons but it's stupid, why bother? I just use Militia Swarms and Militia Forge Guns since they're just as good as the others.
Once i get used to the assault forge on my heavy I would like to have words with you. they begin with Ha, go on for about five minutes and ends with HAHAHAHAHA in an evil cackling mad scientist voice.
Imagine Doctor Horrible, only scary. |

Ahhh Have fun in eve514 guys

You mean playing obsessively for a week and a half leaving you maxed out in everything?
No thank you sir, I would like to have a game that has long-term playability behind it instead of merely the hot thing until the next MAG/COD/Blackops/Halo/insertwhateverhere comes out.
If this game is successful, it will garner updates, new weapons, new structures, new dropsuits and a permanently dedicated DEV team who's sole purpose in life is to make the game better and to add yet more ways for us to slaughter each other and kill EVE players.
I wait with baited breath for the day someone realizes I'm accepting orbital strike requests from both sides of a groundfight and shooting at everyone with sadistic glee.
Edit: and then uses orbital defenses to pop my ship. THEN I will call DUST awesome. |

I use the militia forge obsessively on maps where LAV and HAVs get spammed. More because I think its hilarious to watch dumbasses who dont understand tanks panic and flee when I start firing. every now and again I get this orgasmic moment when I fire the militia forge and HALF THE SHIELDS DROP IN ONE SHOT!!!!!
Then the next three shots plink off the armor and the driver retreats behind cover to repair faster than my fatsuit legs can carry me.
Its the ultimate rejection. the gamer equivalent of having your hand fall asleep masturbating. militia forge guns are for weeding out the weak, stupid and lazy of the tank world.
The disappointment was crushing... I lose 6-7 militia heavies in a match for two or three balochs, an maybe a sica every few matches. If I feel really hardcore, I shoot a dropship and it crashes because I sent it ass over teakettle but no kill credit.
Then I trained the assault forge guns.
The militia forges were nice, and when I got really lucky, the fates delivered me idiots who think running straight at heavies alone is like Marine Corps badass. But with the assaults, and higher?
I AM THOR!!! EFFING GOD OF THUNDER! BOW BEFORE ME! PUNY GUNNLOGI!
Ok maybe not that awesome but still pretty cool. Actual skills with actual forge guns make tankers cry as their steel coffins burn.
Bring buddies to hold off the inevitable rush of bads coming to bust your high. scouts are almost impossible to hit. bring a toxin.
Plus its cooler to say you lost three heavy IIs with advanced modules and a level three forge for a fifth of a mil than if you zergrush cheapass militia suits killing a gunnlogi or madrugar.
Mostly because with the real heavy fit you might actually kill a tanker with more than lukewarm IQ. You yourself must also be higher than room temp IQ or youre just wasting ISK |
