attempt #2 at duplicating my masterfully crafted troll thread

Seriously, these have to be the most underwhelming weapon in the game. Im tired of getting killed by infantry that just spray and pray and kill me. 2.5 second charge time on an assault forge gun is ridiculous, it needs to be about 1 second since on the weapon description it says is the most devasting anti infantry weapon out there. Against LAV's they're fine, usually 1 shot and then you get the free kill. Dropships on the otherhand simply can tank too much damage for a single forge user. Seriously 2 shots to bring one down? Those things are flimsy pieces of crap, 1 shot from a forge should be plenty to take them out. Also before the QQ from dropship pilots you have to understand where I'm coming from. First of all, aiming that thing is intense. Super intense. We even have to lead our shots sometimes when you activate your broken afterburners since your traveling at a rate of speed so high its hard to hit you.
And tanks? Don't get me started on tanks. How come I can't solo higher tier tanks? If you hit the treads on it they should fall off and the tank only be allowed to drive in circles. Its only fair. Also if you aim at the tank turrent the forge gun round should be able to travel down the barrel and blow the tank up from the inside. Hello CCP! Do you not watch hollywood movies? These things happen all the time, even in real life. Please can we have real physics when dealing with tanks. Thank you.

Militia FG should kill everything in one hit! They should also have unlimited range, lock onto targets, and fire fully automatic with a 1000 round magazine. Oh and you should be given isk whenever you buy them, instead of having to spend isk to get them.

ITT: man complains that his weapon can't insta-gib everything.

I'm not talking about militia fgs, I don't use those anyway. Stop trying to troll and steer this into something irrelevant. Proto fgs are really expensive so they should kill other expensive stuff easy, like the sagaris. I wanna shoot down his barrel but it wouldn't happen anyone because fg aiming is broken.

ERIOUSLY GUYS???? TWO SHOTS????

dropships OP

I don't think you can take the OP seriously.

But while you're at it, why don't we make all weapons one hit kill? then everyone will enjoy the game as much as the OP with his forge gun.

Dude I'm not trying to have any one upmanship with all these troll threads lately, Im just want ccp to take a realistic look at balancing issues we have now in regards to the upcoming build. Great, we get pc and all that good stuff but where is the fun going to be if only certain tiers of weapons can perform well and were still not able to shoot down a tank barrel.

Dropships on the otherhand simply can tank too much damage for a single forge user. Seriously 2 shots to bring one down? Those things are flimsy pieces of crap,

my only issue with forge gun is the accuracy. other than that - it's fine. There are times where I think " that should have exploded in his face. IN HIS FACE!" yet it passes right through them.

I guess the travel time doesn't help but oh well, I guess the forge gun stats will tell wolfman if there's something wrong

Just to be nice, I'll respond seriously.

It would be impossible in "real life" to shoot down the barrel of a Dust Tank with a Forge Gun and destroy it in one hit. Dust Tanks don't have explosive shells. They use railguns or missiles, and yes, blasters are types of railguns. Missiles typically don't arm until fired, and railgun rounds are just chunks of metal (Tungsten in the modern era). Technically, it doesn't even need a long barrel, just enough to run a charge through, so no complaints about destroying the barrel to destroy a tank in one shot too. Also, no matter how many movies you see, a single round from a man-portable weapon is not going to bring down something the size of a dropship. You don't expect an RPG-7 to take out a F-22 or AH-1Z in one shot, right? If you do, then go study aerodynamics and the properties of titanium alloys, which I'm sure are far less advanced than whatever there is in EVE. (On the AH-1Z, it's max take-off weight is 18.6k lbs, or 8.4k kg which means its rotor produces MORE down-force than that. Most man-portable weapons won't even hit one because of that down-force.) Perhaps, you can argue that dropships and tanks need weak points, but unless I'm mistaken, they already have those.

Yes, because in real life there are plasma shooting guns that can be shot through the barrel of a tank. Stop your whining. Forge guns are fine. You are complaining about having to two shot a dropship? If CCP made it your way then there would be idiots running around one-shoting every vehicle they see. It's not broken CCP, don't listen to him.

Also if you aim at the tank turrent the forge gun round should be able to travel down the barrel and blow the tank up from the inside. Hello CCP! Do you not watch hollywood movies?

I smell a troll. Frankly, everyone should be having a laugh at the OP.

The forge is grand. Max out its operations and the charge time is significantly reduced. Aiming does take practice but seeing as to the potential return when you get good, it's perfectly balanced. And, it is the only weapon group I'll use all variants of, sometimes in the one match. Different hammers for different jobs And as someone posted above, a couple of forge gunners working together will tear apart HAVs.

Back to the main fact though. The OP is trolling.
