Like the title says, it doesn't have to make sense. I don't ever hear any of you tank guys complaining that tanks having unlimited ammo makes no sense.

If you guys want the direct damage of a breach forge gun, you should have the 6 second charge and the inability to move while charging. I can almost guarantee none of the people complaining would use it on there tank. They just want buffs with out paying the price.

Dont forget tanks are immune to sniper fire, have no fuel limits, can be recalled without a supply depot are immune to sniper fire and infantry small arms, can move really fast around the battlefield and are able to run people over, act as a spawn point either with a CRU or by carreying that **** on the suit inside and just hoping out for a second, are self repping at a huge rate, can provide cover for infantry, act as a bunker for almost dead troops, have a head shot spot that is on the very rear of the tank, can survive OB's. and a take does have more DPS then a forge gun if they man the 2 small turrets inside.

well...we do have to pay 1,000,000 per turret, but I don't really mind proto forge guns doing more dps bc ur aiming reticule sucks, your ROF is slow, your ammo is low, you glow in the dark, and you're in a squishy suit i can OHK from 600m away. i dont really mind that. i just wish turrets were cheaper. that's all.

they also cost more ISK than you can earn in 7 matches with decent payouts so, for them to be a viable career path, need to be able to last through just about anything.

If you are running a Caladri tank you can easily stick a couple of mods in that decrease charge time on railguns in the low slots. Even using the militia versions, that makes the refire rate just plain nasty. Add in the skills that buff turret damage (which can upgrade damage further and easier than the one that buffs forge gun damage) and you have a very deadly weapon.

No man, forges, swarms, and av nades are still overpowered, you should have to spend 5 million isk to take out just the shields on a tank

From personal experience, it is extremely hard for a lone forge gunner to take down a tanker that knows what they are doing. The only time I take down tanks is when they are militia or they are camping. If the tank is moving, it's nearly indestructible.

Hell, it can be hard for a group to take down a tank crew that knows what they're doing.
