Let's assume three heavies with militia forge guns and no invested SP against a 10k shield Gunnlogi
1200 damage/shot * 3 shots/volley = 3600 damage/volley
3600 damage/volley / 3.5 seconds per volley = ~1028 damage/second
10,000 damage / 1028 damage/second = ~ 10 seconds.
Using more discrete terms, it's 10.5 seconds. 10.5 seconds to blap a full health HAV without investing any SP and basically no invested isk. If you do go for advanced forges those three heavies can do it in six seconds. Since forge guns have a 300m range you can do that from basically anywhere, without exposing yourself to much enemy infantry fire.
So yeah, you're right. There's no way, even with teamwork and advanced AV, to kill a HAV.

dont believe me? read some of the "nerf AV" threads.
EDIT: nvm just see the post two above me, some guy feels a heavy suit, that moves a quarter the speed of a Logi player carrying a forge gun should stand no chance vs a tank, that moves near the speed of an LAV, has near infinite range, 100% visibility, HAS THIRD PERSON VIEW, so he can see everything around him. two guns angled all around him so he has no blind spot. and has the hitpoints of a BATTLECRUISER.
My only take-away from this is that you really need to work on how you fit your BCs.  |

I didn't say the current balance was bad. I was pointing out that what he claimed was impossible to perform with high quality equipment could be done in ten seconds with low quality equipment. My only complaint about forge guns is their ridiculous sniper rifle-esque range. But then I hate sniper rifles, too, so I may just be biased in that regard. |
