To people that say get good.
How would getting good in anything tank related help him kill the tower camper? It only takes one player to shut down the entire map from DS and HAVs.

Lone gunner with an Ishukone Assault, the only infantry weapon in the game capable of taking down a 7k hp tank in under 10 seconds when you're in the open.

So apparently the forge gun has a range greater than that of a particle cannon. Apparently there's a new bug where forge gunners now sit on top of the tall spires where they are so high up that their player model and red dot doesn't even show up when you're looking at them, yet they can still nail you with a forge blast.
I grabbed my madruger and tried to do some tank sniping when some forge guns forced me to take cover, I was literally pinned down the entire match because they had me camped. Every time I looked right at where the shots were clearly coming from no player model showed up, only the occasional name tag whenever a sniper looked at them, but the issue was that they were able to snipe players without being hit by a particle cannon.
We've all been abused by forge gunners in the past before but this is going too far, if a tank cannot take these pricks (let along see them) out when they can easily shoot me then there is something clearly wrong here.

Was it the enemy team that pinned you, or was it a lone forge gunner? If it was just one guy, you need to get good.

Large Rail Guns have a range of 600m while the Forge Gun has a range of 300m with absolute max of 320m.

EDIT: Removed incorrect info, my mistake.

If it's a HAV doing it (same spot, same effect - happens all the time) no problem, right?
A single player kept you from squatting your 20+ Kill death machine on the frontline? For a single match?
So sorry.

This again? The forge gun is the only weapon that scares tanks. Av nades and swarms may cause you problems... But you arent scared of them. Tankers really want this to be ez mode for them huh? Whiners gonna get forge guns nerfed and then tanks, and rooftop mass divers and snipers will be the qq topic. Yall can never be happy

It is to my teams tactical advantage to take the high ground, and if your team does nothing to try and counter this advantage then you have nobody to blame but yourselves. Get smart, play smart

Forge sniping is not all that difficult, especially with a variant that can hold a charge. I do agree that most cases involve tracking a few pixels, but once those small pixels are seen, lining up a shot so that the crosshairs turn red becomes relatively easy. In my experience, the farther away a target is, the less movement a forge sniper would have to perform on his or her joystick. When things get too close, then the problem of chasing down targets becomes more apparent.

Same company different studios, one has near perfected the player feedback process, the other is still rolling on the floor after it fell over its first baby step.

Vehicle Turret Draw Distance....... We could have Infinite Range, but if S**T doesn't Render past 200m it's pointless.
