It might have to do with Railguns being able to one-shot literally every dropsuit build possible, and HAVs being faster and thus able to dictate battlefields.\
Or something...
I don't have a problem with it *shrugs* |

As someone who has used railguns since closed beta started... I don't think forgeguns are more accurate. I can hit a bunny-hopping swarm-spamming scoutsuit 300 meters away just fine in mid-jump, and I even manage to headshot people with it just fine (A whole new definition to "countersniping" snipers).
Using HAVs properly is an artform, and I firmly believe that a single HAV shapes a battlefield much faster then a single forgegunner.
I can roll out of cover, slam two or three rounds into a force, and roll back before anyone realizes. I can prop myself up on a hill and dominate the skies faster then any forgegunner ever could. Simply rolling down the street I can use my HAV as a weapon, kill infantry at full speed and destroy even logi-LAVs without much more then a dent simply by running them over. I can roll down an avenue and force every sniper taking refuge in the rooftops and pipes to move.. Or Die.
The instant a forgegun appears on a kill-feed, every vehicle operator changes their plans from that instant on. The instant an HAV heavy weapon appears on the killfeed, everyone on the battlefield adapts.
A forgegunner can not in the first 120 seconds of gameplay destroy every turret on the battlefield, which is a staggering amount of warpoints by itself. A forgegunner is forced to run with fellow infantry for protection or lurk and prepare ambushes, or a sniping nest.
A forgegunner is forced to rely on weak LAVs for transportation, and will never cause the same level f fear and chaos that an HAV makes simply by rolling around a corner.
Everything is prey to an HAV. |

Yes, I will.
I have literally 100% of my SP since the last forced reset in Vehicle related skills. I make money exclusively off of HAVs, and I call them in every map. I've been playing all day, made millions even after losses and only lost a handful of HAVs, one to a forgegun/swarm combo, one to a LAV gank squad of AV protos, and three to other HAVs.
I'm doing okay. |

North America, Skirmish only. It's against my religion to play any other gamemode in a vehicle.
Skirmish is best for HAVs as there are predictable zones of chaos.
EDIT: I should also note that I'm using a Caldari HAV, not Gallente, so I have a significant edge against most forms of AV compared to armor tanks, and I use an ADV Rail so I can keep my EHP optimized. |
