I am a forge gunner...

I can tell what weapon a suit is using quite easily (still having problems between godlock and scrambler pistol)

I feel like a particually ott christmas tree... OF DOOM

excuse me but... what?

... im confused as to why you are confused...?

The size, and way a weapon is held, shows what weapon someone uses. Even at extreme range a suits silhouette can let you know what weapon they are using.

As a Forge gunner i look like one of those Christmas trees made by colour blind people that feel they have to use every decoration in the box...

Maybe, just maybe, you shouldnt try to solo a squad and then complain when you get killed
Squad up yourself with some infantry support to flush out the enemy into your kill box

Hey, dumbass, any tanker who dares to post on the forums is a solid tank driver at this point, its stupid OP stuff like this and imbalance of AV vs vehicals that caused the lack of tank players and the rest of us still playing dust are veterans. I do not under any circumstances leave my infaintry or its instant death to one forge gunner. When im supporting my squad now in 1.2 the enemy squad in front of us has a forgegun. Sometimes, there is 2 foregunners and 12/16 enemys are infront of us. when this happens, i can not see ethire of the forgeunners, these ppl holding cannons of doom are completly invisible to me and i have to geuss wich 2 ppl they can be out of the entire lot of 12. Balanced?

I have to ask, completely serious here, have you been to an optometrist lately?
Im not even playing on an HDTV and I can still recognize each suit even from a great distance, but I do concede that sometimes I mix up Gallente mediums and lights since they are both rather slim
Anyway if you cant recognize a heavy suit in a group maybe its time for some new lenses or contacts, and if you or your gunners dont instantly make them priority target number one then thats on you guys, not AV being overpowered

Never thought I'd see "Ninja" used to describe a heavys movements.

sadly. when your a tank it is very easy to get ninjaed. especially when the ppl who want you dead are invisible

They are not invisible, their projectiles & charges are. You have a valid point that needs addressing, please don't ruin it by use of exaggeration.

.... a cannon that fires 2300 damage every 2 seconds that is completely undetectable is not OP? your right, totally reasonable. So was the tact AR to infaintry right? anyways, my eyes are fine enough to see your a complete moron, i cant kill the AV because i cant see them and i also cant support my team when invisible anti tank weapons are keeping me out of the fight so my team and squad cant always kill the AV. in fact, sometimes, they are completly unreachable in the distance several hundred meters away sniping me & freinds. With no indications of were he is he is free to destroy who ever he likes. like my tank. Thats not fair at all, if im gona get my tank blown up then fine, but i at least should be able to defend myself and kill the forge gunner as oppssed as shooting into a crowd and hoping i kill him specifically by chance

bah, these forums are terrorable and no matter what is said you get trolled out of your brains, im expecting sota to comment any minute. The only way to get your points across is exageration

Actually I did think the TAC was fine aside from having an overly large clip
And do you know how little movement it takes to throw off someones aim from hundreds of meters away? Unless you are standing stock still or driving in completely straight lines then he is likely much closer than what you are guessing

All your ranting and bitching and excuses have made me think of something interesting though, we all know draw distance is affected by whatever weapon you have out, now does that also apply while being in a vehicle, if so what weapon are you hauling around

Don't be a dolt. I was agreeing with you, however exaggeration leads to nerf hammers. Can you say with 100% certainty, that CCP can filter through all the feedback, knowing which is exaggeration and which is valid feedback?

I think not. Don't be a moron and ruin the credibility of your own thread.

Your evil laugh is seconded.

But yeah, not quite fair to tankers, in terms of balance. Should be addressed.

Not saying I'm not gonna take advantage of this, though, as long as it lasts. MUAAAHHAAHAHHAHAHA!!!

yeahh... all the forge gunners own us even harder now. have you AV specialists noticed a decline in the number of tanks around? . I was talking to some of my tanking freinds and they claim to have lost more tanks in 8 hours of gameplay to "invisible" forge gunners than he did in the past 2 days. so not fair. Us tankers will disapear like the smite lights on your cannons of doom. sence uprising there has been an ever stacking list to stop tanking. Jus when we thought it couldent get any worse this happens and all thats left is the inevitable disapointment of the pilot suit

I noticed last night that tankers weren't really taking cover when I was hitting them, and weren't firing back on me when I did. I though it was because I was using cover effectively -- I charge up behind cover intentionally, to mask the forge glow, but this better explains why I wasn't getting hit. Normally, I get one, maybe two clear shots before a tanker figures where I'm at and starts gunning for me, but this didn't seem to happen last night.

Despite my glee at this news (due to getting repeatedly stomped by tanks over the last 6 months), this is a balance issue that CCP should address. A tanker can clearly see other threats to them like tanks and turrets, so stands to reason they should be able to see us forge gunners, too.

Yet people wonder why standard tankers won't move out from the red line when there is a variety of things that can obliterate them without being detected.
