They just need to tone down the heavys turn speed,then they may be balanced. Maybe an exception for minheavies.

Why is everyone saying this.

Were none of you around before when scouts just ran straight past heavies and shot them in the back? Turn speed is not the way to balance. Why? because we have controller and kb/m in this game. A turn speed reduction only further increases the advantage of kb/m + scout and breaks this so called balance even worse.

Some increased damage fall off would be a good start imho. This would also make the assault hmg a more viable variation as right now it really does not out distance the hmg enough to make it worth switching too.

All of this. Nerf to turning speed was already tried, and it sucked, which is why CCP removed it. The HMG is in a good place right now. Maybe, if anything, a very slight reduction to effective range. That's it.

Why is everybody acting lately like HMG is god-mode? It's not, by any stretch of the imagination. Did the forums just run out of things to ***** about, so now it's heavies again?

I think the answer to that last question is "Yes". People ran out of new things so they started recycling. Most likely it is the same people trying to run head first into an HMG with a 300 or 400 HP suit thinking they are going to knock it off. Then they get pissed when they get killed. So they come here and complain. I've been killed by my share of heavies, and I thought, "I hate those fat bastards." So, I figured what the hell and I specced into them. Now I hate G.D. Rail Rifles who sit on top of buildings outside of my range and shoot me all full of holes and stuff. Of course, I understand why that happens. It is called a "counter." That is the counter to heavy spam. Do I like it? No. However, I'm not going to come on here and whine/complain because they keep killing me. I adapt my game and use cover to move. I don't run across 40-50-100 meters of flat ground where I'm basically a target in a shooting gallery for them. Thokk Kill. Thokk Crush. Thokk Smash.
