Hello.
As you know CCP did a hotfix on the HMG and changed the numbers. The accuracy went from 61 to 38.89 and the rate of fire went from 2000 to 2400.I got used to this change fairly quickly since it made the HMG perform wonderfully but yesterday after a couple of matches I felt the HMG perform a bit different. It felt strange from the moment I laid hands on it. It felt almost the same but something was different.
After careful investigation I found out something very peculiar. The changed the dispersion by 0.1. Now instead of having a dispersion of 38.89 as was per the hotfix; it has a dispersion of 38.99. This might not sound like much but I felt it immediately. People weren't dying as fast as the hotfix day.
This makes me wonder; who in the community has felt a slight change in the HMG?
Please don't post things like; I use it this way, or you should ADS or kneel. The topic is not how I use the HMG but about stats and overall performance. I noticed this immediately and couldn't pinpoint it till today. So yesterday had to be the moment the change was made.
I want to tell the devs that, even though it's a small change, the overall performance was altered drastically enough for me to feel the difference between hotfix 1 and hotfix 2. Please change it back as apparently that small change makes a world of difference.
I also want to add that anyone who says, "but it's such a small number", does not use the HMG on a regular basis or you are not synced with your HMG and have been denying it the love it deserves.

However, I don't know if you had time to test, but when assaulting HMG users I felt I was being hit wider than the circle reticule.
Thank you for posting your view as a person on the receiving end of the HMG. This must be changed immediately because it made a huge difference.
It's weird that a simple 0.1 change can make such a difference but it was not an overall god one.

I haven't noticed a difference really. I think more people are becoming wary of HMGs now and have been shooting me at long range instead of a frontal assault like they used to, but I'm still able to chew things up like normal.
I respect your opinion but implore you to reconsider your statement. The stats where changed, and that's what matters. You might think you chew them up just the same but I felt a difference. People have felt a difference and I'm not talking about long range or them keeping distance. I'm talking about people close to me; CQC.
BTW The first sentence, I don't know if it's a troll or not but I hope it isn't because if you where a dedicated heavy you would actually care.

I know this might not affect most people who have the benefit of aim assist. But I dont have the benefit of aim assist and I felt it. To prove my point I am going to make a video on aim Assist right now because AA also affect the way feedback is given and these little changes affect people who don't have AA more than those who use it.

I just conformed that poeple who have aim assist will actually not feel a difference. Those who don't use aim assist will fell it like I did. It makes a world of difference.

Haven't had a chance to run it since the second hotfix. As long as it still chews through people I'll be happy. I'll take this as a good sign of things to come. All the weapons need minor tweaks. The RR needs a hair more charge up, shotgun tad increase to fire rate, nova knifes should be able to hold a charge whil sprinting, just to name a few. Don't touch my CR CCP. Nothing is wrong with 99%working of my kills being headshots bc of the kick ; )
Opps seems I have gotten off topic, my bad. Sing it everyone,"Don't nerf my gun,gun,gun!"
It was not borderline op since it was just king of CQC. At any range farther than it's optimal it would not be effective.
For those of you who don't know the HMG also got a nerf to distance. It used to be 31 meters where you where doing you maximum it got lowered to 28.
