How hard is it to spot a heavy with a big sig and a glowing gun.

Forge guns dont need to be nerfed or buffed. Leave them as is.

Obviously a TL;DR poster. THIS WORKS FOR BOTH SIDES. The tracer would allow the forge gunner to follow their shots better, so if they are off by a hair on a long ranged shot, the tracer would make the needed adjustment easier to see.

This is neither a buff or a nerf, it's an addition.

You can claim it's not a nerf all you want, but adding a tracer to make it easy to find the Forge Gunner is a nerf.

It WOULD be if the forge gun didn't get something in return, which it DOES. There are SEVERAL uses for a tracer from the forge gunners perspective. Not the least of which is the fact that it can be used to help with lining up shots on a weapon that has no ADS view. It would make it easier to see exactly where your shot landed after the explosion clears so that you can adjust your aim accordingly for your next shot, which I see as a HUGE bonus.

I get what youGÇÖre saying, I simply donGÇÖt agree with it. This is actually a weapon I am familiar with, by no means a subject matter expert though. It is easy enough to judge your shot from the explosion. This is a straight shot weapon; there is no curve, drop or anything to take into consideration. You shoot at the tank and there is an explosion to the left, aim right. Now, I am not saying cosmetically it wouldnGÇÖt look good, I think it would look great if done right. I just donGÇÖt agree with your argument that forge gunners would get something useful out of it, the only benefit would come to the tankers. Now, if you changed it so forge guns charged faster, but had the tracer, then I think it would be a fair trade.
