Okay, before flaming me, let me explain. In it's current state, the HMG is perfect, but it's used on the wrong suit. What do I mean by that? What race makes the suit in the first place? Wimatar, the fastest ones around. that means that they will be the heavies to move up with the squad, as they will be fast enough to do so. What's a good weapon for rushing? the HMG. I rest my case.
(note: yes, I do think the Plasma Rifle is too strong compared to the HMG and should be nerfed, but I wasn't comparing them was I?)
Peace, Godin  |

That is some great tobacco you have in that hooka.
The HMG is limited to the Amarr Heavy. That is the Only racial variant for any Heavy Drop Suit currently in the game.
And rushing to the front in a lumbering Heavy is hardly rushing. At least by my definition of rushing. In addition the extremely limited range of the HMG will get any HMG user killed if they are in the front of the pack. Any mid range weapon (laser, scrambler, tactical AR or just AR) will pop you before your HMG is actually capable of doing any damage whatsoever.
You might post this again when we have several racial Heavies. But, if CCP/Shanghai was to release extensive racial suits, as promised, it would produce many requests for SP respecs (mine for instance, since I run Minmatar but am forced to use an Amarr suit currently) when all the racial variants are supported. SP respecs are not a Dev favorite. FYI. |

I'm starting to think it just the combination of the two that's the problem The heavy suit has too many limiting factors for a weapon that is only good in certain situations, which is mainly close quarters. The reason the shotgun is so good is cause you can put it on a light suit and close the distance and determine your situation.
The heavy suit is supposed to allow you tank your way into an ideal situation which it fails to do in any way. Even out running a grenade is not always an option especially in tight quarters. So using the Hmg with the heavy suit is just a bad combo under the current build.
We cant run away from a fight for the most part (without an LAV) Any type of open area is certain death without the ability to close the gap. The fact that dispersion does little more than tickle someone who is landing head shots on us is a but ridiculous. "Aim assist and long range weapons." We can both agree that the range we had in Chromosone may have been to much however with the range that assault rifles have combined with the aim assist and less lag the Hmg or suit needs something to make it less of "situational suit that we are not able dictate"
In my opinion the HMG/ Heavy Suit is the problem fix one or the other and there may be a chance. But with the limiting factors that are imposed on the heavy suit right now just makes it no fun to play, when you can do twice as good with an AR carry other fun stuff in your equipment slot and actually play the objectives and choos your situation instead of waitng for the situation to come to you, which usually just ends in a grenade. |

I don't think you caught the drift. I'm saying it's not for the Amarr Heavy. It's for the Winmatar one, which is probably going to be great for rushing. |
