Nothing to see here, move along folks.

i had standard forge guns doing 3k damage to me. in a tank. although he was in an LAV and should die. Forges are op. they do more damage than railguns do. want them as gunners.

Standard forge gun doing 3k damage? Either you got hit in this soft spot I keep hearing about or they had 7 complex damage mods and Forge Gun Proficiency XIII.

i'm tired of driving LAV then the 'Standard Forge Gun' can destroy them in one shot. Even when I use shield boosters they still blow up my LAVs

i got hit on my side which i do recall is not a weak spot. and i know forge guns tht do well over 5k of course not standard. i mean once a forge did 5k damage to me. advanced breach.

I was using the the adv breach when I blew up that sagaris.... Not some cheap ass std forge lol

there is a weak spot of the side of every tank.

the weak spots the back on a tank. where those little pipe things are. and the bottom. the sides are not weak. As far as i know.

on armor tanks theres a green light in a cylinder that's a weak spot and on shields between the tracks theres one too on both sides for both.

Nerf all the things!

one hit the plate as far as i could tell not anything else. either way he hit me 4 times and i died different spot every time. i had 2.2 k shields when i died. had 6.8k starting out with repping and all mixed with delay between shots. and hardeners. first shot 3k then hardeners and repping, shot me again then a delay then finished me.

I tend to tip towards the group saying "forge guns OP" primarily because I've flown a lot of coffins, and I'm halfway descent (read: not painfully horrendous) at forge gun sniping.

Forge guns remain an extremely powerful weapon without too too much skill (but definitely some, especially if you use the Assault), and the higher tier ones are pretty effective anti infantry as well.

I wouldn't go so far as to call them OP, just maybe a tad too strong / easy to use at the moment.

I agree that hitting a (moving) target with the charge holding variants takes some skill.

However I feel it takes me no skill to nail a 'coffin' flying anywhere with a militia forge. And for the damage it does I can take any ship down in <5 seconds.

forge guns might be a little too strong in general. militia are Definily too cheap, easy to use, easy to access, and too powerful.

The answer is not to nerf forge guns, I'm sure an ADV swarm launcher will knock out your flying piniata just as quickly.

The answer is to make dropships actually useful. Albeit it is rare but I've had a dropship survive 2 consecutive hits from an MLT forge (was on my assault alt) which was plenty of time for the pilot to take cover and recharge his reppers, I never did bring it down.

I think the damage is fine, even at the higher levels. The only change I'd like to see is a slight reduction to projectile speed to require the shooter to have to lead their targets more.

But said LAV can run over any proto suit and one shot him is not OP ? One a lighter note I enjoy running around with a regular assault forge gun two complex damage and level 3 proficiency decimating enemy vehicles and making them go WTF it is only a regular assault forge gun

The Hand Cannon is my second favorite weapon.

I wouldent remove the malitia vatient just nerf its dammage a but and increase its chargeup time . All other forges are working asintended . I miss my proto breech

I have as of yet met a forge player I could not kill, and I am a noob with no gear and crap SP.

Slow, fat, and can't really fire back.....Seriously easiest 50 WPs in the game.

Forge guns are not OP.

This might be the stupidest post I've ever read.

Seriously.

RAILGUNS HAVE SCOPES enough said about that.

So would you sign my petition to remove the scopes off of railguns?

1st. my protoforge takes more than one shot to kill a good LAV
2nd. If a tank is getting 2 shot from 1 protoforge, then lets face it...your tank sucks.
3rd.I laugh at any one who thinks the forge gun is op...

so what shield tank can live from 2 5k shots. there isn't one tht can unless u make some rediculous build. and thts an advanced forge. it might have been more i was in an armor tank 5.5k armor with shields 1 shot from the forge only brought me down to 500 armor. plz. it was a soma. i was messing around.

what forge gun does 5K in damage?

let's do the math

1440 x 0.03 (do this 5 times if you don't want to do 1440 x 0.15)= a 43.2 boost

1483 x 0.03= 1527

1527 x 0.03= 1572 (1573 if you round up)

1572 x 0.03= 1619

1619 x 0.03= 1667

if my math is wrong than someone correct it. I'll also make it clear that I AM NOT rounding my numbers up


1667 x .21 ( two 10% damage mods)

2017

That's just below breach forge gun levels, 2100. Maybe the third DMG mods, weaponary,some rounding up, and weak point hitting (which is anywhere from .20 to .30 in effectiveness bonus not a full 2.0) will bring it up to just under 4K but not 5K.


Than there's the debuffs from tanks running passive hardeners and active hardners :/



Once again some is free to do the extra math since i just covered the barebones basics

I can build a Sica with over 7000 EHP using nothing but Militia modules. Total cost is under 300,000 ISK. Pretty sure you can do a LOT better with non-Militia gear.

it was a 2.5k advanced breach forge gun. with other added stats.

It's a breach forge gun.... you shouldn't be dying to those at all one hit and the next shot won't be until 6 seconds after, well around 5s with the boosts.

that's why i love my gastun's tear extracter one shotting dropships and LAVs. 3 or 4 shotting tanks STD and above. brings tears to even my eyes.

Forge gun is not OP end of story

Are they behind you?

Tanks have a weak spot in the back where the engine looks to be located. Last time I was able to get a reading on that spot I was getting ~200% efficiency.
