Sure, you will do fine against noobs. I am not going to spit out K/D numbers but I agree, when I play against garbage players, I dominate, by far. But, that is with any fitting because they are not skilled at all. Anyone with two thumbs and a half a brain can take out a heavy just as easy as a scout, it just takes a half second longer for heavies to go down.
All DPS seems to have gotten a buff with this new update. Now it is as if whoever shoots first wins. Mlt suit with BPO AR gets a jump on a proto will kill it if said merc has decent target acquisition. 1.4 is the spray and pray era. Heavies are screwed because they need to be close, but how can they close with and destroy waddling at 3-5m/s? Heavies are bullet magnets because of their slow speed and large target. I love dumping rounds into other heavies, it is like Lance said, they are laughable, just fun to kill.
Heavies HP 'advantage' is trumped by their low slots count where medium suits can set their fittings to have HP in the heavy range. Stacking armor plates is counter productive because they are slow to begin with, any more than 13% total penalty is suicide. The HMG got a nerf with this new update. Sentinel bonuses are trash.
ARs are OP.
I could go on but I do not care to, I got a feeling I am typing to a bigot anyway.
Hahahahaha.
Hahahahahaha. Because precise aiming < spraying with an automatic weapon. Clearly. Did you know that the base FG take six seconds to charge? Four shots. You don't even get extra ammo until later on. To make it even better, there's the brutal reload time. It's the Assault variants that have that short charge time. They cannot hold the charge. Their charge times, at base, vary at either 2.5 or 3.5. This is all without skills being applied. This goes up into the prototype tier, by the way. Four shots. Reload.
That's it. The heavy that stands with the infantry on the lines with a FG is the heavy that will devastate the HMGer.
I am always on the ground with my comrades with my FG. I promise you- if you get close enough to HMG me, I'll still blow out your knees, sonny. I've noticed people have been shooting me in the back with advanced+ ARs lately. I'd be frightened of the FGer that can aim too.
I've said this countless times in other places. I played UT. Those of us that honed our aim were the main killers.
Oh Flak Cannon. Forgive them. They know not of the kings.
By the way. I use the standard Forge Gun most times, with nothing higher than standard on my setup. It pleases me to eradicate the kids that think they can go toe to toe with me after I've spotted them.
