Yeah, I've done plenty of both, and the balance is non-existent.
Forge guns are powerful vs infantry (they OHK everyone AND have splash damage, it's easy to go at least 5:1 KDR with even a STD lvl forge gun) and they can OHK all but the most tanked out DSs. The one's that they CAN'T OHK, like mine, are 1 Mil+ ISK, and they TWO SHOT those. Also remember, the first shot is a freebie, and the second shot can be fired well before even the best DS pilot can generally do anything about the barage.
So, guys just carry their forge guns all the time. They tear through infantry with them and then when you try to fly even vaguely close to the battle: BOOM. There's no strategy to it, no counter measures, nothing. Forge Guns are by far the most powerful weapon in the game, and they make flying dropships basically suck. The only people who will argue this point are the ones who main forge guns, haven't used them, or are just terribad. |

The problem with buffing Dropships vs. nerfing Forge Gun damage against dropships, is that the balance between swarms and dropships is already just about perfect. Buffing dropships would screw up that balance. Otoh, needing forge guns against dropships would resolve the problem without screwing up any other balances. |

As in people with experience both flying a lot and shooting DS with a FG?
I know there's got to be a few of you, I just want to know who...
DS are not made to take Railgun/Forgegun fire. Forgeguns are HEAVY anti vehicle weapons, if a DS is hit its obvious you'll get destroyed by 1 or 2 hits. Pilots need to learn how to fly DS and move faster...LOL BALANCE? Forge guns are balanced for that they are , anti tank weapons. But if a pilot is moving slow enough to be shot by a FG , so be it...
It's not the flying part that's a problem. I can dodge forge gun fire all day, the problem is, when doing so, there's nothing actually getting accomplished. Your argument basically boils down to "dropship vs. forge gun balance is fine, as long as the dropship doesn't try to actually play Dust 514." |

herp derp, checkmate pilots.
In reality, a single shot from any gun in the game would drop the guy getting shot. I guess every gun should be OHK. |
