Well, to a decent player, yeah free kill... The Heavy suit as is, has a considerably low HP that even its current speed can't compensate for it and the HP isn't distributed properly. The only good thing about the suit is the stamina regen of 40...
Why not buff overall speed?
Why not give more melee damage (Sentinel?
Why not give hidden reload bonus (Sentinel)?
The suit needs to feel useful and unique, for that it needs:
Shield HP - 460 HP (Commando - 320 HP)
Armor HP - 400 HP (Commando - 265 HP)
Movement Speed - 4.20 m/s (Commando - 4.40 m/s)
Sprinting Speed - 5.88 m/s (Commando - 6.16 m/s)
Heavy Weapon Reload speed - 10% bonus
Racial bonus for Laser resist raised to 4% (still partial protection compared to Caldari/Gallente Maximum protection)
Melee damage - 180 HP per hit
Keep in mind that a good Caldari heavy will reach 800 Shields and that Gallente/Amarr Heavy are commonly seen with over 900 Armor.
Now for Gallente/Amarr, on medium suits the only noticeable differences are on CPU/PG and speed. On HP distribution and its total they're usually similar when well fitted. The innate Armor regen on the medium Gallente suit (and other sizes) is so minuscule that I hardly find it useful. On Heavies, the Gallente has too much HP dedicated to Shields and Armor HP total is usually similar on well-fitted Gallente/Amarr Heavies. For there to be a unique setup, I would like to see the following changes applied:
Amarr Medium stats:
Shields - 100 HP
Armor - 260 HP
High Slot - 2
Low Slot - 4
Amarr Heavy HP stats - 240 Shields / 720 Armor (racial bonus for projectile resist now raised to 4%)
Gallente Stats:
Light suit - innate Armor regen of 6 HP/s
Medium suit - innate Armor regen of 5 HP/s
Sentinel suit - innate Armor regen of 4 HP/s
Sentinel HP - 315 Shields / 600 Armor (Just admit that you never get your shields back to full on PC)
In this manner, The Gallente would be more oriented towards Armor rep while Amarr would be oriented towards tank... uh maybe (sort of rushed it). I think Caldari medium might also need some treatment...

Speak for yourself I do pretty good with this suit. Its a flank/hit n run suit. Takes a high amount of skill i know, but it is worth it. Players who underestimate my suit are "free kill"
Heavies are OP? Say that to the buisness end of my HMG you peasent.

New to the heavy game but I've come up against quite a few Mini Heavies the last few days
that are straight up beasting. I don't consider them the easy take on people seem to believe
they are.

As a dedicated heavy, I have the ability to run Proto in all classes, contrary to most others I use the Minmatar over the Gallente and Amarr. I love the speed of the suit and the balance of H/L slots. I used to run the Basic Amarr prototype over the Sentinnel for this same reason. I think the Gallente is too dependent on a good Logi and the Amarr along with its dependence is just too slow. Sorry for disrespecting the Caldari but one Flux grenade and you are a respawn. As far as the "Free Kill" comment, If you run into an experienced heavy running Minmatar don't be surprised if you're joining the Caldari heavy at the CRU.

I'd really like to know if the movement speed of 4.20m/s of the basic Min Heavy (Sentinel is 4.05) is a typo or if it is intended that way.
Meanwhile I'm really having fun with a basic Min Heavy and 2 kin cats. I call this fitting "HMG Delivery Service".

I run Pro Min sentinel.
Resistances are surprisingly awesome vs scramblers. I didn't think they would be considering how much alpha + damage model works vs shields.
Went in to Fw and twice met a proto Amarr assault with pro scrambler rifle and he struggled to get 2/3ds of my shields down, and I don't run extenders.
Playing Min sentinel is about being a heavy hitting flanker / hugging cover. Either maximise your mobility to flank the enemy or max on health regen to pop you back into the fight faster. Its not a bulldozer like the other 2 major heavies and requires more tactical awareness. I love it.

Unless of course that other heavy is using a burst HMG. And he should. Minmatar Sentinel just doesn't survive against against the HMG heavyweights of Amarr and Gallente.
Minmatar Sentinel is a damn good Tank hunter, though. It took some creativity, but I slapped 2x Complex Damage Mods and an Ishukone AFG on the M-I Sentinel. I love the fit, and quite effective for 56k ISK.

Players who underestimate my suit are "free kill" Thank you for pointing this out: suits take skill to use. Drop suits aren't just "one suit with different layouts." They all have their own play styles. You have to choose your engagements.
- Caldari suits are great at small sustained engagements. You have enough buffer in your shields to survive a small engagement. Then, your shields regenerate quickly so you can take then next engagement.
- Minmatar are great at "hit and run" tactics. The speed you get, balanced slot layout, and stamina mean that you're quite mobile, but your hitpoints dictate that you have to take small fights (best at range).
- Gallente are great at moderate speeds (even with plates), and the regen means that eventually you'll get to full without a Logistic companion. Their base moderate speed means that you're not quite as slow as Amarr when fully plated, and the armor buffer means that you're good at brawling.
- Amarr are best at brick tanking. They have tremendous base armor and low slots to fill with even more. Yes, they're the slowest, but they are compensated with the highest stamina and sprint time. So, while your other heavy friends are running out of steam midway out in the open, you're still chugging along to that next piece of cover.
All these suits have different feels and themes. You can't just play Caldari as you would Minmatar as you would Gallente as you would Amarr. Suits are specialized for various scenarios and different engagements. For example, I always run my Minmatar heavy suit with an Assault HMG. Why? The greater increased optimal range means that I can stay farther away from that other heavy or infantry and have a better chance at killing them before they get close to me, because that's how their play style is.

+1 for thinking. Also, I haven't tried an Assault HMG on Minmatar yet, I'll have to give it a shot. 
(Been using the Steel Gorilla Suit strictly as an FG/SMG platform...)
Last I did the math, AHMG had a slightly better damage profile than the Gallente AR at 40m, which should be pretty interesting.

I've dueled a Gallente heavy with an MH-82 HMG WITH logi holding his hand with my basic Minmatar Sentinel with the Assault HMG and won simply because nearly all of my shots were connecting with him and much less of his were hitting me. (My suit had a complex shield extender and a basic reactive plate.)

The Min Heavy is a great asset in FW. We have tank Gallente/Logi's holding points, and with my speed I can support each when trouble comes. That is what the mobility gives you. You're foolish though or not a very good heavy, if you think it can't go toe to toe with the others. I regularly send them to the CRU.

A lot of people like to treat heavy suits like bullet sponges. These people tend to die quickly then complain that the heavy doesn't have enough HP and survivability. These people don't know how to use heavy suits to their maximum potential.
Minmatar heavy is a mobile heavy with a decent amount of health(lowest for heavies though). Equip an HMG and use the suit for gorilla warfare tactics.

Well, no. Amarr and Gallente share slot layouts (not really counting medium suits, since they haven't gotten their slots rebalanced in 1.8). Amarr have more base armor and same low slots. How can you then say that Gallente can have more potential armor? The numbers don't support that. Each would have 4 lows filled with plates and the Amarr would have more base armor to start with.

Maybe I was slightly excessive on new speed values but the reason for that was that on my Caldari Sentinel I can fit a complex kinetic (would be 5% slower than Min Heavy with 1 kin, no real difference) and have almost twice the amount of shields and better regen (1 dmg mod, 2 extenders for 801 HP, 1 PRO S Recharge for 42 rep). I don't even need my armor with this fit as I would rarely go low on HP and the low stamina + recharge hardly matters on CQC maps.

Gallente is better when you have a logi to fully utilize bonuses (low shield regen would be irrelevant), otherwise the Amarr would be better since you can put a PRO shield energizer (+dmg mod) to fully recover shields in tough fights. Maybe it would be ok to leave current stats as is but I'm just not ok with a suit that has to rely on another to be sustainable while there's others than can be lethal (Ex. Caldari Heavy and Scout, Amarr Assault with Triage hive of 70 HP/s), though Gallente heavy has it easier than the rest (LOL Gallente Commando).

I love everything minmatar. The low HP means you have to play differently than the other suits. Hit and run, hit and run. I destroy other heavies with burst hmg and superior strafe and speed. Out in the open I'm toast though.
The same goes for all minmatar suits. They don't suck, you just don't know how to use them. There's more to dust than stand, point gun, and rely on dps and HP.
Oh and for the record... ITS GUERILLA WARFARE!

I tried using the Min Heavy yesterday, yet my Caldari was better on stat combination (higher shield + regen, only slightly slower than Min heavy). As it is I would only use the Minmatar to chase down lower skilled players since any good player will still land hits on me with ease.

Minmatar heavies are the perfect example of Minmatar Engineering, put him and a thunderdome and most people will bet on the other guy.
But Minmatar works best as flanker, if your fighting fair in Minmatar expect to loose.
Minmatar is all about getting the first shot and making it count
The heavy is no different.
Although nice little anecdote, I run a mlt min hvy with a energizer and a repper.
During 1 match, flanked a 5 man squad of advanced suits (might have had 1 proto), because they didn't think I was there I just mowed them all down before they had time to react!

This is true, the strafe speed is kinda only useful against people with poor aim (it doesn't strafe THAT fast) and the caldari has the better stats so you can just rely on your shield but the 1 thing the Min has is its stamina regen. I know it doesn't help in a fight but i run my Amarr as my actual heavy and my Min as my assault suit and the stamina regen really helps in being everywhere.
Heavy v Heavy or actual Heavy work yeah it sucks but it's more than capable of raping any medium/light suit and its speed/stamina is awesome for that mobility in playing an assault type role, at the very least its been awesome raping people in pubs anyway so points well spent imo

Heavy v Heavy or actual Heavy work yeah it sucks but it's more than capable of raping any medium/light suit and its speed/stamina is awesome for that mobility in playing an assault type role, at the very least its been awesome raping people in pubs anyway so points well spent imo
Da only good Amarr is a ded Amarr, an de ony fing betta than a ded one, is a dyin one who tells ya were 'is mates is!

I have a corp mate that wrecks enemies with his adv min heavy. He often goes high 30s low 40s in kills with few deaths. And he doesn't need a logi repping him to do it.
He uses his min heavy as a speedy flanker and frequently charges straight into buildings while stepping over the corpses of reds that underestimate how effective a min heavy can be when used by a highly skilled player.

The only way to ensure freedom is by having the means to defend it.

Almost every Gallente suit can out-brick its Amarr counterpart AND have built-in reps. Well, no. Amarr and Gallente share slot layouts (not really counting medium suits, since they haven't gotten their slots rebalanced in 1.8). Amarr have more base armor and same low slots. How can you then say that Gallente can have more potential armor? The numbers don't support that. Each would have 4 lows filled with plates and the Amarr would have more base armor to start with.
The numbers do support it, absolutely, as the Amarr heavy actually only has 3 lows at proto while the Gal has 4. Do the math, man, or just go to Protofits and build 'em out. The base armor differences are pretty much meaningless. They would have to be much more substantial than they currently are to have any substantial effect. Every single Gallente suit can tank more armor than the Amarr version except the scout (which, coincidentally, is the one case where slots are the same), and even then it's only a few HP short with the same amount of plates plus 3 reps/second plus more speed, so should the Amarr wish to have ANY reps at all the Gal can out tank it and still be much stealthier and only a hair slower. |

+1 to Alldin Kan for not chest beating despite the uninformed challenging his skill level. Most players who do well shout it at any provocation (or any opportunity, really) but Alldin has done no such thing but instead refuted points with numbers and personal experience. Definately some more respect earned here.

- Amarr are best at brick tanking. They have tremendous base armor and low slots to fill with even more. Yes, they're the slowest, but they are compensated with the highest stamina and sprint time. So, while your other heavy friends are running out of steam midway out in the open, you're still chugging along to that next piece of cover.
I never really understood why people make this argument, but I think it's a symptom of looking at the numbers but not all the numbers. Yes, while the Amarr can sprint longer than any other suit, all they are doing with that extra sprint is catching up. They are not passing. They are making up the ground lost from the lower speed in the first place. In the case of Amarr vs Minmatar, they'll never catch up because the Minmatar can recover all of it's stamina before the Amarr gets anywhere close to catching up.

The same goes for all minmatar suits. They don't suck, you just don't know how to use them. There's more to dust than stand, point gun, and rely on dps and HP.
Oh and for the record... ITS GUERILLA WARFARE!
(although... The thought of gorillas engaging in war does intrigue me.) But I like gorilla warfare better. They fling **** at each other. :P
Thanks for the correction. I though it sounded funny.
