Bojo The Mighty Bojo's School of the Trades 665	Posted - 2013.03.21 21:22:00 - [4] - Quote I can tell you that Basic Swarms are well worth the 6K SP. Four shot magazines.

How do the prices and CPU/PG compare? I'm pretty sure forges use more CPU/pg and cost more. Not sure on #s though.

Chad2k95 D3LTA FORC3 Orion Empire 1	Posted - 2013.03.21 21:35:00 - [7] - Quote Forge Gun is the best because not only you can use it for AV you can use it for infantry

I want to know before i spec into them Thanks N1 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.
Enderr Wigginn KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 69	Posted - 2013.03.21 22:16:00 - [12] - Quote I love the my forge gun and would not trade it for the world. It looks like everyone hit all the key points.
IRuby Heart DIOS EX. 456	Posted - 2013.03.21 22:21:00 - [13] - Quote 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.
Buzzwords Deadly Blue Dots RISE of LEGION 438	Posted - 2013.03.21 22:23:00 - [14] - Quote 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?
N1ck Comeau Planetary Response Organisation Test Friends Please Ignore 123	Posted - 2013.03.21 23:21:00 - [15] - Quote Well guys thanks for all the facts and opinions and such. I think i'm gonna start using the forge gun, i'll get better with it and spec into it more. Thanks everybody. N1
