I think we need to stop comparing size to efficiency.
Yes, forge guns do about the same damage as rails. Rails, however, are mounted on a multiple thousand HP chassis, has unlimited ammo, and the user can laugh off small arms fire while his two copilots rain blasterdeath on anyone that pops their head around a corner. The forge gunner has at least a 2 second charge between shots, moves slow as hell, can maybe get to 1k EHP (if he sacrifices damage / speed), gets mowed down by anyone not using an AV weapon at the time, and must sacrifice his main armament slot to dedicate to AV.
Stop using raw numbers to say something is OP / UP, and consider the benefits / drawbacks that the entire setup has.
I should also mention the forge gunner must also be wary of murder taxi's. |

Can a tank not be called on top of the redline mountain and rain railshots across the field? |

I'm not going to forum 1v1 you on every little aspect these two classes do not share.
There are also plenty of slopes to angle your vehicle on, and if that forge gunner is dumb enough to wait for you to come out from behind that hill, odds are a sniper is going to find him. |
