RL heavy machine guns:
These weapons are designed to provide increased range, penetration and destructive power against vehicles, buildings, aircraft and light fortifications beyond the standard rifle calibers used in medium or general-purpose machine guns, or the intermediate cartridges used in light machine guns. In this sense, the "heavy" aspect of the weapon refers to its superior power and range over light- and medium-caliber weapons, in addition to its weight.

But in RL heavy machine guns are only mounted on vehicles or on emplacements, not carried around by foot soldiers.
They can be carried by teams, but the demand for a higher mobility in the military have made heavy and medium machinegun teams somewhat obsolete.
My point: RL dont have 7 foot tall supersoldiers in armorplated exoskeletons, so what is the point of being able to wield such a massive and heavy weapon like the HMG, only to hide in bunkers waiting for the enemy to throw in a grenade?
It makes no sense that the HMG is supposed to be a CQC weapon when there are much lighter shotguns and smg's that does the job better, but then again CCP are trolls.

Doing an arching strafe I was able to tank his damage in my Sever BPO (3x enhanced buff modules) long enough for the wreckage to disappear and an AR squad-mate to gun him in the back. The worst part is I was releaved it was an HMG. I've used enough of them to know what ranges and movements can dodge them.
Cubs needs to 'git gud'. lol |
