Honestly, heavies should just be removed from this game.


and this crap is why I'm glad no one really listens to you seriously.

To the OP.

I am a career heavy. I agree that the reload animatiion is long.

I do NOT agree that it should be shortened at all. I think you need to learn better fire discipline and learn how to time your reloads, which is between engagements. If you are reloading DURING a fight tben you are either attacking too many people and using too much ammo or are simply not paying attention.

This is like learning how to deal with the overheat. You need to learn timing anf battle tempo. If you are constantly getting ganked on reload I have two suggestions.

1: start using your sidearm. It's why you have it.
2: drop points into another dropsuit so I can sing "another one bites the dust."

Are you ********? Heavies make no damn sense in this game. It'll always be fundamentally flawed because the concept doesn't hold up to what a smart heavy is capable of. For all of it's intended flaws each and every one of 'em can be made up with by speccing into vehicles. The other classes do not have that luxury. Speccing LAV's isn't going to help Logi/Assault/Scout and they have no way to honestly fight there intentional flaws - because that's how they're balanced.

But the heavies are not balanced.

If there was a bike in this game it would be GG, why pick anything else but heavy?

If it was removed you'd find balancing this game to be LEAPS and BOUNDS easier. And with CCP at the helm the option to remove them just seems like the best choice.

It's not like we're getting any of these classes or it's set-up for legion, anyways. So experiment with Dust. Heavies are flawed, try to remove 'em and see what happens.]]> Sat, 11 Oct 2014 09:14:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/2043119 <![CDATA[heavy reload speed - by Breakin Stuff]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2398838#post2398838 SoTa Senpai wrote:

can't tell you how many times I tried to reload and it cost me my life waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting several several seconds for my gun to reload sometimes it doesn't even reload and I have to reload again that this happened to you are you a professional heavy have you spent all your Sp into heavy well then let CCP know that they need to quicken the reload speed at level 5 on the heavy machine gun how many people how many hEAVYs are sick of dying because our HMG takes too long to reload are you one of them please let CCP know that they need to make the reload speed for the HMG faster at level 5 at least 3 seconds thank you I welcome your comments if you agree with this

Reload speed is fine. Having highest health and DPS - Heavies needed some sort of down-side beyond hitbox and speed, as neither matter when your weapon requires you to stand next to your enemy and you can drop a vehicle to get you anywhere from any point on the map...

HMGs have a large clipsize and damage, enabling it to kill more without worrying about reloading.
Reload ONLY when at a safe position.
Also u have sidearms when u r at danger.]]> Sat, 11 Oct 2014 08:00:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/2043094 <![CDATA[heavy reload speed - by uriah maack]]> https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2398807#post2398807 Sat, 11 Oct 2014 07:53:00 +0000 dustsearch/guid/2043082
