Run Damage mods but Scouts will not like you

Complex?

Hmg needs more range and some hardeners to the suit itself

And you say it does nothing

Uhm.. Why do you need 90-100 bullets to kill someone.. Hell I NEVER overheat even while I take on a hoard of people by myself.

Have more control over your fire.

Are you fuckin kiddin me?!
The new skill is awesome,on lvl 5 there are absolutely no recoil.
Its the best thing that CCP can do with the HMG,im totally love it.

Okay? The old HMG skill was pointless too.

We traded one useless skill for another, surprise~

After doing a full read through this post I come to the agreement that you're whiners who want to be a God again.

The Heavy and HMG is just fine for me and many friends alike. As long as I don't go foolishly running into an enemy mob from the front or run over an open field I'm pretty safe.
With the help from a buddy in a dropship (Evolution-7 is one hell of a pilot!) or my own LLAV (which I don't often use for ramming. I prefer driving up close and let my HMG do all the talking.) I get around quite easy.

The heavy could maybe benefit from a HP increase (Because Assaults can get almost the HP of my advanced suits!), but I'm fine with my HP at the time. The faster turning speed and aim assist help a lot when it comes to shooting at pesky moving targets.

Then the HMG: Only during the start of Uprising I was disappointed, but after the damage increase and range increase I'm very satisfied. At the moment it seems I can even hit targets from even further decent (say 40-60m). As long as I use my cover and don't go gun-blazing I usually get my kill. Dying one on one against an enemy I've noticed is pretty damn hard.
One on one the only guys that kill me are the ones who catch me in the back and start shooting ASAP.

Furthermore the recoil helps now with fast moving targets and targets further away. The heat-build-up was something I've noticed, but don't care too much about. With my advanced and prototype HMG I usually only overheat when I keep shooting until I got like 80-100 bullets left. (This is easily dismissed by letting the trigger go for half a second, get some cover, etc...) On the basic HMG I've noticed it's a bit easier to overheat, but as long as you know what you're doing there are no real problems.

All in all the Heavy is in a decent spot. One on one it usually overcomes most enemies. When grouped with other Heavies and a helpful DS or LLAV you'll become the King of the Battlefield. I would only want a flat damage reduction or maybe some more protection from ramming LAV's or explosives since that seems to be appropriate. It's not needed, but it would be helpful.
The HMG is in a sweet spot for me and I could definitely live with it staying as it is.


PS: For the ones saying I'ma troll or something else I've been a Heavy since the start of open beta (and actually closed, but I lost the account, so let's forget that one!). I've been through all the hard times we Heavies had. The massive HMG nerf, the doom that's called Tac-AR against us and when MD's reigned supreme. Ask my buddies for confirmation, or rather ask TUL in general!

Keep on killing!

that recoil skill should be come a dispersion reduction skill, of 5% per level

There's definitly recoil on the HMG. If I keep shooting until I almost overheat I really need to adjust my aming. Luckily, thanks to the new adjusted skill this is hardly an issue anymore. I feel like living in Chromosome again!

/me goes back to using Burst HMGs.

So you want CCP to make you invincible and require no effort to play on your part. Got ya.
