Yeah, how dare people try to use a weapon intended to be used from long range, from long range. from an area that they're relatively safe in... Tactics OP much?

If you have cover, you're going to use it. the other guy doesn't have it so it's not fair. Boo mother****ing hoo. War is unfair. The smart guy wins the fight. Sorry that you're too stupid to figure out to keep your head down if there are snipers or tanks about. Maybe you'll learn something instead of *****ing on the forums.

All battles should occur within knife range(so no weapon is at a disadvantage) in a skill vacuum(SP might provide an unfair advantage to one side) and no cover for either party, in a standard(modules might be unfairly used) minmatar medium suit(average tank on both sides, to minimize the unfair advantage of weapon damage types) and should have players removed from the equation as well(since actual player skill would also provide an unfair advantage) If you want fair play.

I'll state it again: War is unfair. You want "fair"(disadvantaged against your own style. You want long range players to run into the fight swinging their weapon like a club for some reason.) play? Go make your own game.

And? You need better positioning or teamwork. I know it's foreign to you, but this is a team based game. kind of hard to run from two militia railgun tanks firing even close to the same time. Or just use a prototype railgun and the poor bastard will be reduced to wreckage before he knows what hit him.

If they're out of your render, then you are out of theirs. If you're like me(you're not.) then you're close enough to their redline that them not rendering means they are so deep that they can't render anyone on your team.

And again: If you have the advantage(redline positioning and enemies stupid enough to funnel or try to rush you straight across an open field) Press it. Don't let up because the enemy is weak. They're weak, they deserve to be crushed. They got redlined? "Awwww, shucks guys, let's just let them take three or four points out of pity and e-bushido" seems to be your strategy. Mine is keep them there. Run in and shank someone just for giggles on a militia scout fit because they're so bad, I can do so with impunity. We've won when all they can do is snipe. heads down, have a smoke maybe even tell some jokes or see how long one of them takes to switch to a battle fit and get killed by the squad waiting just outside the redline.

Sorry that you are totally devoid of tactics beyond rushing them like a neanderthal. Maybe if you put any thought towards teamwork, positioning, or patience you'd be killing them instead of the other way around.

And I did not get off topic at all. HMGs are made for tight spaces so finding one in a hallway is as bad as fighting a sniper from an open field at 300 meters. Fighting in a situation you can't win is stupid, so stop doing that and make it a situation you can win. It's just like punching a brick wall with steel spikes coming out of it. You're not going to win that way, so don't do it. Go grab a sledgehammer and bust the thing down.

You need the right tool for the job. You're a tool alright, but not the right one.
