Yes, they're totally balanced. If you're flying low enough and SLOW enough for a forge gunner to hit you with a charge shot, well too bad. You hover for a second or less, everyone bails and you burn it out of there and hug the terrain. Just because you want to fly in at 3000 feet, don't mean you should. ;) They're not exactly easy weapons to line up on the dropship pilot who knows how to jink and weave. Especially the lower meta-level ones.
As a former breach and assault forge user I can say with certianty forge guns are overpowered! [Really dropships are just underpowered I think]
I also think personally a small damage reduction would do the trick.
Having said that ive been flying along high up and ive been hit a couple of times by a stray forge shot. They are not too difficult to line up at all. They do great damage have great range , the assault version cycles really fast too.
As a former forge user I dont want to nerf them and make them weak. I think the problem is that CCP released them into the game at all.
Think about it, any other game a vehicle is leagues above the infantry in terms of firepower and defence. Well with dust the dropsuits have crazy defenses and hit points and arguably MORE attack power than vehicles (looking at the forge gunner here) you dont get that in ANY other game like this. |

Especially the lower meta-level ones. Okay. You're displaying your ignorance here. The Forge Gun round travels fast enough that you can nail a DS at full afterburner with less than an inch (screen-wise) of lead on your target, and a Breach Forge can do more than enough damage to take down even a well-fit one in one shot. AV vs Dropships is the most imbalanced aspect of this game right now.

Edit: ~By the way dont even contemplate fitting an afterburner on the python. Giving up a slot that would normally hold a shield extender to fit an afterburner is a no no currently. Scarce on the HP side of things as it is. |

Low ammo, long charge time, only heavies can carry it, no ADS, the most powerful one has a root, good damage when you hit, and weak against armor. To be perfectly honest I find your crusade against the forge gun ridiculous considering not even all of the weapons and drop ships are in the game yet. Also considering that I have seen very few actual good forge gunners in matches that I have played and now that the Dire suit is gone and lots of people specced out of heavies I don't know why you are complaining so much about them.
Sorry to TRIPLEEEE POSSTT! However I am under the understanding that the forge gun is a hybrid weapon? Hence it does thermal and kinetic damage hence it does equal damage to both shield and armor, then your point can only really mean its better when your armor tanked because you have extra hitpoints over a shield guy.
I could be wrong. |
