One thing that I would like to see tested is the actual DPS of the HMG.
Take a standard HMG, stand so that the other suit takes up the entire aiming circle and count how bullets it takes to kill them.
The stats of the weapon state that it has an accuracy of 61%, and I take that to mean that 61% of the bullets hit the small dot, but what happens to the other 39%?
I have seen several threads that complain about the Hit detection on the HMG is horrible, and that it feels like a 1/3 bullets never hit.
Could this be where this issue is coming from? |

I have watched the video, what I mean is on paper the HMG has a DPS of around 566.66 (17 per bullet time 2000 rpm divided by 60 seconds) The test I would like to see is at point blank range with the small white dot center chest with the enemy taking up the entire larger circle.
By counting how many bullets it takes to kill a suit (amarr would be best because of the shields and armor equal) we could take the total HP of the suit divided by the number of rounds it takes to kill and see it is even close to 17.
I have had several occasions where I had someone dead to rights (they were hacking a terminal, sniper, looking the other way) and it seemed that it took forever to kill them.
The question that I have is if the 61% accuracy are the only bullets even when the white dot is center chest and any dispersion should still hit the target, or do the 39% disappear even in a perfect control test? |
