Siege cruiser is more sniping cruiser, although it can be used in close combats aswell.
With some practice you will find that forward gun awesome, and fun to shoot with it. Check last vid of mine. You will see how good it can be used. It deals more damage then LM and drains less energy, against heavy caps it's excellent.

It's just me then... I fired like 20 times and I didn't hit the GB I was fighting once.

In the end it killed me with its bomber friend...

When fighting anything smaller than a cruiser, use it as an auxiliary weapon to your turrets, if you use it like a SNAC against GBs you will rarely hit and end up loosing lots of fights. In cap fights though once you get the feel of it, you can use it in tandom with pulse cannons to do horrific dammage.

It's not absolutely useless, it's only useless when used against anything smaller than the Siege Cruiser itself. Aim with your cockpit view and go figure.

it's awesome. takes getting used to. but when you get the hang of it, it is one lethal killing machine. More cruisers should have forward guns. a really nice cruiser weapon imho.

it tears through GB who are dumb enough to joust you. it rapes shield and hull on cruisers and BS. energy drain is not too bad.

so: cool weapon. hard to use. all teh more awesome when used properly.

Zapp seems to do relatively well with it in his Tundra =P

Forward guns are great. They're hard to aim, yes - you either have to Ram your opponent while shooting, be an ace gunner, or be shooting a very large target... but because of that aiming difficulty and limited firing arc, forward guns are able to be balanced with much higher damage and efficiency rates than other heavy weapons. The lib cruiser forward gun does more damage than a light mortar, costs less energy, and has a higher projectile speed.

I used to hit GBs with the forward gun of my siege cruiser... was hard though. Definitely only for other cruisers/Battleships.

Am I the only one who has thought of putting a small piece of masking tape on your screen to use as an aimer? Stop steering, wait for the ship to settle, and it should hit the same spot every time. Put one for cockpit view, another for 3rd person.

Voila.

Forward gun works greatly against Rheinland caps. Long range, fast, sort of mortar mounted on the ship.
Equip missile, few solaris and razor, and poof, you have wonderful vessel.
