AV weapons should not be able to to shoot at infantry. swarm launchers were adjusted, and now that you have these chucklefucks sitting on top of the tallest towers shooting grimlock/assault forge guns down at infantry..it just shouldn't happen and is literally impossible to counter, especially when they're on a roof where OBs don't register. obviously it shouldn't be a lock on weapon that homes in, it just should only be allowed to be shot at vehicles, installations, etc. and NOT dropsuits.

I can't tell you how many times I was busy spawncamping blueberries, only to suddenly die to a gigglecock militia forge gunner when there wasn't a heavy in sight. these are deaths that just should not happen. the fact you can kill a lot of suits in just two splash damage hits only a few seconds apart from 100+m out isn't right either, there needs to be some form of adjustment on these weapons to prevent an AV weapon from taking out infantry.

You trolling right?

I'm stealing this^.





Not that one tho. Ya weirdo.

Impossible to counter? Lol.

And since when do OBs not register on the maps?

Forge guns do need an adjustment as they can be used to snipe infantry. The lore goes they are miner tools adapted for combat, I am assuming they shouldn't be that accurate from long ranges. But that is not the case for the advanced forge guns for sure.

What I propose for a change is, if its not a direct hit, infantry doesn't take 1 shot kill dmg and are knocked back. As the heavy tanks have more mass, they can't absorb the dmg by being pushed around. This means it still does full splash dmg to tanks as they can't rid the shockwave away from the dmg. This could also lead to some fun combat mechanics where forge gunners don't kill ledge monkeys, but instead push them off their high perches to possibly fall to their death.

OB's are currently bugged, I think. They don't register on people standing on top of buildings, but they do register to people standing underneath them.

I've taken out a forge gunner with my AR before, at fairly close range, before he could charge it up. Not really too difficult. If he misses the first time, then he's dead. Oh, and knowing when to jump is essential. Listen to the charge-up noise.

But it's basically a railgun, those things are a OHK on any human target, the things working fine right now.

Don't stand still.

From a gameplay perspective,OHK forge guns really don't make much sense... regardless of miltia vs proto or any other argument. OHK from distance is always lame.

I move around more than a dude tweaking out on methamphetamines, moving or not they still have all day long to line up their shot from the tallest structures in the game.

Snipers....railguns...

So... you want to nerf a gun because of poor map design?

Can we just fix the map problem instead? Or make OBs do what they're supposed to?

(On a side note, if this really is a troll: expertly done, sir. Expertly done.)
