No, this is not a complaint thread.
No, I do not have a lot invested into HMGs.
What I do have, however, is a bit of experience with the damn thing. I hadn't used this thing since 1.2, so I must be missing something when I write the next few sentences.
The HMG is terrifying to use and to have used against me. This thing not only has more ammo than me, but it is hellishly accurate (as it shouldn't be). I noticed there is no (if not extremely little) spread to it. With just enough to use just the standard HMG, a few other things came apparent to me. This thing doesn't need a damage increase or decrease, a range increase or decrease. This thing is not properly spraying (as I remember it doing), which makes it a monsterously accurate weapon.
Why is it terrifying to use? Only a shotgun or Plasma Rifle can take my ass down while using it. The reason behind why these two specific weapons can do it? Their damage. The shotgun understandingly can take out a heavy up close, as its power is raw and its range is leg humping. The Plasma Rifle, on the other hand, outdamages the HMG from any range. Why is it terrifying to be used against me? I hate using the Plasma Rifle, so I normally either use a Scrambler Pistol or shotgun. With both of these, I have to get pretty close.
My conclusion? You people should not ***** about the HMG. It's preforming abnormally in a good way. It only seems bad due to the comparable weapon being... "too good".
Anyone have any thoughts to add to this?
If you think Plasma Rifles take skill to use and are fine as they are, you are the problem.

I believe the reason the HMG is not performing proficiently because it is in fact an smg with an extended clip.
Also it is scumatar tech.

You just made me realize something. A certain Minmitar suit auto-attaches extended mags to secondary.
Oh sweet mother of kittens. We DO have attachments, just in different forms!

True realization is finding the one true faith and cleansing the matari plague off of new eden sir.

I've got SMG proficiency=5 here and HMG proficiency=4 on my alt. I run two complex dmg mods on Boundless there and still see Ishukone SMG as more deadly with no DMG mods.
SMG > HMG
Neither of these is as deadly as AR on the same skill level.
Which is so stupid it's not funny. Infantry carried, class limited gatling gun in H slot, that is less capable than a sidearm and far less capable than a light assault rifle. Both of which are free for all.
HMG should mow squads, not get you laughed at.
SL dumbfire, DS bumpercars, tank godmode, working NKs. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

Yeah, I know. I'd rather run a militia assault rifle on a heavy. It would be more effective. Most maps are mid range to long range.
Even when you get a cqc map, they say "oh look heavy."
*throws grenade strafes mows down heavy*
Heavy is a VERY niche suit, so niche I don't ever use it. Even in the niche areas, an AR would suffice.
