For armor use swarms... For shields use forge. |

I can tell you that Basic Swarms are well worth the 6K SP. Four shot magazines. |

I'm pretty sure forges use more CPU/pg and cost more. Not sure on #s though. |

Forge-guns dont paint a kitten big sign pointing to where you are, and can be used to kill infantry.
Best suggestion? Have suits using both, use the basic/militia versions to get a feel for when to use which. |

Forge Gun is the best because not only you can use it for AV you can use it for infantry |

100 % to armor and shields. it has no bonus to anything but is equally deadly to everything. :D. |

It depends on your playstyle really. Aside from the armour & shield consideration, you've got to consider how to best utilise each weapon.
A swarm launcher is best at keeping constant pressure on tanks, making them retreat, or forcing an error out of them.
A forge gunner can't keep the heat on any vehicle once they start to retreat, however the assault forge gun is a devastating ambush weapon, able to take down the average Gunnlogi's shields before it has a chance to flee. The FG also has the added bonuses of being able to target infantry, and being far more effective vs LAVs and especially dropships. The downside to this, is that sp spent on improving your range, capacity etc, is only going to benefit one other weapon, whereas doing the same for the swarm launcher improves a whole range of other weapons.
All things considered, I would personally go for the FG if I wanted to make a dedicated AV build. |

I love the my forge gun and would not trade it for the world. It looks like everyone hit all the key points.

You should always be using a swarm launcher with complex damage mods and your soldier should be equipped with at leeast the Advanced level Flux grenades. Every type of tank will drop like flies. |

it's not really an apples to apples comparison.
a forge gun cannot be used on anything but a heavy suit, so it may not really be an option for you.
a swarm launcher COULD be used on a heavy suit, but it doesn't carry much ammo. to be self sufficient you kinda need the ability to carry a nanohive. which heavy suits cannot.
so you may wanna look at it from the angle of, what kind of SUITS are you speced into? |
