That's only what, 15million sp with no armor mods other than a repper.

well in an open field a heavy is already easy game isnt that what every is complaining about mostly dispersion rate range ect. But if you can detect your enemies before they even see you cant you kill them. Also heavies just got a HP buff and it didnt make much differance so why put so much value into armor and shields when you can spend it on sensors.

It may seem like the best way to remedey the issue with heavys is more hp/shield or damage but CCP just gave heavys an HP/Shield buff and people are still complaining did you try the fit. Because not everyone will use scanners and medium suit users only have a 10 m scan radius unless the max that skill to 13 meters. If you maxed your dampaning on a heavy and used 1 complex mod a medium suit cant pick you up unless he uses a scan tool.

They may not be that convient but as you said earlier this a game that relies on teamwork so where's your logibro?

Using the dust fitting tool I came up with this fit

I think that this suit will pick up almost any medium frame suit within 30.26 meters and if you swapped the 2 high slots for Complex precision enhancemets your scan precision would drop to 35.69 db which would picking up scouts who have maxed profile dampaning but if they put on 1 dampener you wont pick them up. I'm more in favor of going for the extra damage. Let me know what you guys think I've tried a simular fit with a basic heavy frame using 1 advanced precision enchancer and 2 advanced range amplifiers and it worked great breach scrample pistol and MH-82 MMG. I could see the enemy through walls I had a definite advantage over my opponent knowing exactly where he was and where he was going to be.

It really depends on how you play the game 30 meters or 36 meters is plenty of warning that someone is going to come through a doorway obviously you could hold objectives with this fit the optimal range on a HMG is 30-45 meters how is seeing someone 30-36 meters before they come around a corner or into a doorway. Im not telling anyone to take a HMG and go running into an open field but if you need to defend an objective this is a great fit. Also if you know you are a target why not have sensors you know the enemy is coming 30 -36 meters in advance he doesnt know you are there because he has damage mods or shields armor uplinks nano hives injection needles explosives repair tools. The odds of everyone running active scanners just isnt that high.

To the others posting other fits i think thats nice that you share them but im specifically talking about the HMG I would also like to add that the advanced car-9 burst pistol or the tactical pistol (..I have 155 :-)..) will also work nicely with this fit.

Well to be honest wouldnt the perect HMG fit be the maximum lvl HMG with skills.

That really depends on who you are playing with and how good you are. So what if i've been scanner they have no idea whether im a heavy or not until they come into close proximity. I also have yet to be blown up by a grenade because my sensors pick up where the enemy is at. If i know he/she is doing im gonna throw a grenade dance I just move.

I had to edit this

(Guestimates)
The MH-82 will overheat in 4.5s and does 18.9 per round 33.33 rounds per second is 150 rounds 2835 damage.
The Burst will overheat in 1.8s and does 14.2 per round 66.67 rounds per second is 120 rounds 1704 damage.
In 1.8s the MH-82 does 1133 damage.
The problem is that no one will let you shoot them continuously for 4.5s so i think the burst is more ideal

In those 1.8-4.5s thats when someone comes around a corner or into a room and has time to react to a HMG spraying them.

Skirm games are the same as PC games though right just better gear its all up to how you want to play to be honest.

Lance if the shoe fits wear it you seem to be doing a lot of bitching.

bu but... he was mean

It works in PC too most people on this game complain about everything they possibly can with just results in FOTM races if you just tilt things slightly to your advantage you can make it work.

Does Not Work In PC. If you don't have a guy with an active scanner around your team is fail to begin with and you should be complaining.

Hmm well yeah most of the time in PC battles in pubs too the scanner is always a factor. You are only scanned for a few seconds and thats it until someone else scans or your buddy does another scan. Your scan is 24/7 why not have your buddy pack extra equipment? Also the lowest scan on scanners are 15 and 28db the only thing your suit cant pickup are scouts everyone else is fair game. Im not looking for scouts im not looking for the guy with the thales redlining I just wanna kill as many players in my kill range as possible.

I just think its funny that more hp is viable if you're still dying fast. Why not get the jump on your enemies every single time. Proto scanners are cool but thats 100 meter range most objectives are hundreds of meters apart. If they know where you are it doesnt really matter because you know where they are coming from. The best use for scanners are picking up snipers and orbitals sitting and waiting for you squad mate to scan and area for you nothing pops up then a squad comes around the corner while the scanner is recharging for me its just not viable. If your squad mate dies your screwed till he respawns its working for me i dot have my skills maxed there are just lvl 3 atm. I've gone positive fairly often im not saying im some bad ass heavy its just im not being run over by other fits as a few of you insist on casting doubt.

Proto scanners would probably miss a gallente scout but who cares. Im not being caught off guard and I always get the first shot and the last I die if I'm caught in the open or overwhelmed. The Burst HMG works exactly like a shotgun but when multiple people comes it sucks so to hold an objective i would stick with the normal hmg or assualt.

Going off everything you said before you still complain about dying why? Even with the whole no HMG spread which ive already caught onto quite early explain why you cant kill someone when you know exactly where they will be.
