So, are forge gun rounds supposed to be giant glowing balls that you can see from the spawn map? This some kind of stealth nerf to make them more easy to spot? |

is it worse now? I see them less if not at all this build from an aerial perspective (DS not map). if its that bad it could use a fix but from the in battle field it should be some what noticeable. |

You may be looking at railgun installation or railgun turret rounds; those are bigger than forge gun rounds, even if they deal less damage  . Forge gun rounds are probably visible though, if you look closely enough.
It is annoying that the only way you know they're coming is by watching a map though. On the ground or in a vehicle the only indication you have is an explosion on your dropsuit or hull. And they're almost as hard to pinpoint direction as snipers, bar the massive glow the actual gun emits when charging. |

I have not seen a Christmas tree forge in a while, they seem to charge up like a greyish color. The projectile is colorful though and can be seen.
Oh how I miss the Christmas tree forge, it was beautiful. |

Nah, you should be able to see the FG projectile flying through the air. I only started noticing it this weekend though. Makes the user's location much easier to pin point. |

First time I got hit in the face by one in a tank this build was startling to say the least, thought a smurf was attacking. |

Yeah man. But I can proudly say, I have yet to be killed by forge gunner  . ADS and after burners are no joke. They hit me once but I just fly my ass into the sky, go into the redine and recall my **** and suicide into my logo fit lol. |

Oh and I wait for like 5 mi utes to see if there is a proto forge gunner now since they love to kill infantry now  . And red line tankers still own me, I only fly my logi DS in ambush :/
someone doesn`t go balls to the walls. I stick with it anyways, I got buddy's who can help if I can`t do it myself. |

I don't have flying buddies :'(. Also, I'm not rich like you bastards lol. For the first time out of maybe 2-4 months of playing. I'm sitting at 6 million isk and that's only because a corp mate donated 5million to me lol. But if you want, you can invite me and we can fly together and you can teach me some things :-o |

Any projectile the size of a MD round and up is visible from the map.
Also reminds me- HAVs are also easily visible from the map, so the temporarily removed "Black ops" HAVs (meant for stealth) are pointless. |

I've got to disagree with that, as a DS pilot myself, i can actually see those FG shots as large, bright blue balls that fly by me unless they hit me first. They have in-fact changed it so that DS pilots, and others, have better countermeasure abilities against an FG, and can tell where the shot is coming from as opposed to when there was no blue glowing ball and it was literally nearly impossible to find the forge gunner unless you could see him charging it up on ground. It's not a "stealth nerf" it just makes it easier for others to react to the forge gun's incredibly powerful shots. |
