This man. This man for president of DUST.

Now if they'd just go and do that, I'd stop complaining. Actually, they don't even need to do that. Make it hurt at 30m, it's supposed optimal range, and problem fixed.

It isn't an excellent observation. Because this...
Quote:What do you not need for point defense? Speed and range.
...is totally inaccurate.
If you have neither speed nor range, the terms of combat are always dictated to you. The fact that a heavy guarding a point is slow and has crap range is taken advantage of by smart AR players on a daily basis.
They park it on a hill, take pot shots at the fatty from a distance until his health is down to a manageable level, then charge the point. Usually leading with grenade spam.
It's predictable, it's frustrating, it's effective, and I'll be honest: It's genius. I've only been able to counteract it when I've had sorry bluedots to distract them so I can sneak out a different side of the point and flank the attackers.
The Heavy should remain slow as hell, but the HMG needs to be able to sting at range. Not outright spank the AR, but it should hurt enough to make them disengage. They should not be able to just stand at 45m and tank it while chipping away at the defender.
