N1ck Comeau Ahrendee Mercenaries EoN. 1148	Posted - 2013.08.24 15:49:00 - [1] - Quote So i am a heavy player and will try to be as least biased as possible. Turn speed changes. They needed to happen. Heavies are already the slowest and biggest target in the game, why should i be insta done for because it takes 3 seconds to turn around even with sensitivity maxed. (DS3) We already have enough disadvantages such as a limitation to CQC combat. (Hmg) Armour buff. This really doesn't give that much more armour a plate, maybe 1 or 2 more bullets in the long run, but the real advantage is that were 50% faster now. Movement penalties are cut in half on complex plates, so no longer will we be waddling constantly. only when we're out of are incredible low amount of stamina Slower strafe speeds. This helps all suits but i believe it helps the heavies the most. We have a devastating CQC weapon so the ability to track a target is very important. Slower strafe speeds make that a little bit easier. Disable squad vision sharing. This helps everybody a ton. Scouts the most, and heavies the least. Were slow so most likely to get spotted more often, and we usually center ourselves near the action or on top of a letter. Lav Nerf. Heavies always had the hardest time dodging these damned things. Were too slow and can't dodge them. This nerf helps heavies a lot. HMG recoil reduction skill. I like it better than the current skill we have, just sounds more useful. But i'll have to see it in practice. So as you can see the heavies get a lot of buffs/ stealth buffs. This will finally make the class a CQC king like it always should have been. I don't see these changes being overpowered. Just a huge improvement

They turn faster, less recoil, little armor buff. What's not to love beside running slow and maybe being expensive? theres lots not to love, like always being the first one to be targeted even if i'm with 4 teammates

The armor buff isn't going to be overpowered either. Just take advantage of the long shield delay and slow armor regen to whittle down armor. Yea, heavies should rule in CQC. But not i feel like Ar guys won't stand a chance

These changes coupled with the upcoming armor buffs should make any heavy viable (no promises, just theorycrafting) without being OP. The very least I will look badass. Please don't ask me when, I just have very, very fond memories from that Fanfest picture. Until then, I will slog around in my minimally skilled Skinweave and MH-82 fit. Stand near my Limbus, and I'll keep that "hide" of your fixed. I actually remember the original murder taxi just being a LAV with one or two heavies that jumped out and straight up murdered everyone, back when they were OP beasts and the LAV less easy to maneuver. Now, that Limbus, I also want to skill into it and drive my own in my heavy suit. Just because I don't know, is there a repair bubble around it? If so, can it be ammo/repair as well? DOUBLE MURDER TAXI 2 HEAVIES COME OUT OF A DEATH TAXI.
