I farted.

I'm seeing more and more lately people calling out that the Forge gun will be useless because of the light Plasma cannon.
Now let me ask you a question:
Does the Plasma cannon have a projectile that moves almost instantly across the battlefield?
Does it hit EXACTLY where you aim? (I.E does the projectile move forward without being affected by gravity?)
Does it have multiple shots in its clip?


Let me give you a hint:
NO


The Forge Gun is more or less Sniper AV, it can hit tanks across the battlefield with high precision.
The Plasma cannon projectile drops very quickly and is comparatively slow to both the swarms and the forge gun, it also has to be reloaded after each shot.
Please stop being stupid by saying that the Plasma cannon will replace the FG.

Actually, if you watch the footage we have so far you can see that it can fire more than one shot before reloading, but your other points still stand. All those spouting doom for the Forge also have to keep in mind that it's a Light Weapon, which would automatically imply it likely does less damage than a Forge.

Let's just hope the Plasma Cannon gets Swarm damage and Swarms get a damage reduction and a flight speed boost. Maybe then we'll actually have balanced AV.

I see it took exactly one comment to derail this thread.

It's not hard to derail a topic that is entirely speculation on a build none of us have yet. Some people just like to waste time in a ruder, more condensed form.

Its not speculation.
Its the knowledge gathered from what the devs said + gameplay footage.

I dont like this! we been thinkin alike and agreeing on **** too much lately! stop it....stop it now!

On a srs note if the swarms still do more dmg then yes id prefer the bolded alot more
Still the ideal non scrub swarms would be having to maintain a lock on and speed up flight time
