I'm new to the forge gun (my squad needed someone to keep tanks off our backs and destroy lav's before they ran us over). I noticed though, that my charge was still taking 2.5 seconds. With 5 levels into FG operation, I thought that charging took 25% less time, which should have put me under 2 seconds. Do assault FG's not have this applied?
NOTE: have not had the time to test this with any other FG than the DAU-2\A |

It's 2.5 for assault versions.
At level V it is a reduction of only 6/10 of a second so it's an easy thing to miss. I know for a fact last build the skill worked fine for the assaults. I used it so much I could tell a difference immediately when I started a new character who only had FG Operation II.
That being said since there is no more basic assault FG there really isn't anything to compare it to. Going from lvl IV to lvl V would be almost imperceptible. Although it does seem a bit slow to me that could be only because I went straight to lvl V after the respec. I don't exactly keep a steady supply of stop watches nearby but after DT I'll try and test it out and post back here. |

Nothing fancy, but tried these different methods 3-4 times each:
Counting normally: fires right before 3
Counting 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, etc.: fires at 2 Mississi-
Using a clock: 2.3-5 seconds
Using stopwatch app on phone: 2.3-2.6 seconds
Also reproduced this with having someone else check these methods
for me
Those methods above: SCIENCE.
But really, I only had time to test it in two matches, and only with the DAU-2/A. I haven't had many opportunities to play so far this month, and the few matches I've played with the FG were just to test out the role. |
