The dark cloud Intara Direct Action Caldari State 1814	Posted - 2013.08.01 19:59:00 - [1] - Quote packed AV grenades have their damage stats updated. Now you can see how much av grenades actually hurt. King of it is still the Lai Dai packed av grenade that deals a whoppping 1764HP base damage. The Ishukone assault forgegun deals "only" 1663HP damage. So some 1 explain me why a grenade sized weapon deals more then a weapon that is beeing used by heavys only? Not just that but Av grenades are even more devastating against any kind of armor based vehicles due to the added 30% damage. So the packed lai dai av grenade deals in total 2269HP damage against armored vehicles. In my opinion no grenade sized weapon should deal more alpha damage then a forgegun. And no the argument that the breach forgegun deals more damage does not count. Why? Because you can throw 3 av grenades faster compared to 1 charged shot from a breach. CCP should swap the damage from the packed av grenades to plasma canons.

Poplo Furuya Condotta Rouvenor Gallente Federation 530	Posted - 2013.08.01 20:31:00 - [10] - Quote Missing a vital detail: you can't boost AV grenade damage. You'd be extremely hard pressed to find a Forge Gunner who doesn't have Proficiency 2 and at least 1 Complex Damage Mod, usually 2. Want to add about +25% to that damage figure.

Chris F2112 187. 276	Posted - 2013.08.01 20:42:00 - [11] - Quote With that forge gun you get more shots, anti infantry potential, and more damage as long as you have any proficiency levels and a damage mod on. Don't try to pretend like the forge gun is bad.
8213 Grade No.2 57	Posted - 2013.08.01 20:46:00 - [12] - Quote Really, because I threw an AV grenade at a guy using a Forge Gun, and it did NOTHING! Then he shot and killed me.

It hardly changes the fact that a pure av weapon you skill into deeply does less than something more powerful in every way/costs less.

In practice it means an Assault FG does about 2400 damage a shot. Some other small details in it's favour: 300 metre range, better efficiency versus shields, 16 rounds per suit (w/ higher damage per shot in practice), can be highly effective against infantry. Charge of 1.875s, 4 rounds per magazine, let's say 2400 damage. It can spike for about 9600 damage in 7.5 seconds. The Lai Dai probably take about 1.5 seconds to throw. 1764*3 is 5292 damage in 4.5 seconds? For armor, 6807. For shields, I dunno, less. I'm all maths'd out now. So slightly better burst, less overall damage, no follow up, significantly shorter range of delivery. Considering this, do you really want to claim Lai Dais outperform proto Forges when it comes to general AV ability? No. They're good and don't consume the focus of a fit but they only outperform a Forge in the first 5.625 seconds of an engagement. That's it.
stlcarlos989 SVER True Blood 437	Posted - 2013.08.01 21:32:00 - [24] - Quote Packed AV grenades can't be thrown far and also require throwing the grenade close to the vehicle because they have a small lock-on range. Forge guns can be used at a distance and are also effective against dropships and infantry not just HAVs and LAVs. EDIT: AV grendades do work on dropships but only if the pilot is dumb enough to fly that low.
Delta 749 Kestrel Reconnaissance 1517	Posted - 2013.08.01 21:35:00 - [25] - Quote I know right? and they benefit from damage mods, have a skill that ups their damage, and you can carry way more than three grenades at a time Seriously though quit your bitching, AV nades are fine as they are and need that large spike damage to act as a deterrent to bitching tank drivers who think they should be able to safely park next to a cru and rack up kills
