I have been waiting patiently for the sights on the HMG to be fixed and to this date, nothing. If you are wondering what I am referring to is the huge circle you get as a sight but you have to place the center dot that is the size of a grain of sand on the target. Try and do that on a fast moving target Roll

. Sometimes due to the environment the dot cannot be seen at all and all you can do is spray and pray. I love being a heavy and will continue to use the HMG, I would just like to have a decent sight that would allow me to aim better. CCP fixed the laser sights can you please fix the HMG's.

There is a video somewhere in these blogs that show exactly what I mean, unfortunately I could not find it. If you know its whereabouts or your are the creator can you please post it to this thread.

I know there is more pressing manners and I know the hate for the heavy is great, but can we agree the HMG's sights are horrible.

So to recap please fix the HMG's sights so what falls into our sights can be shot and not have to wait to line a small dot on a moving target.

Edit: I found a video showing what I mean.

Heavies have been complaining about this for a while. If you want something done in the game you should tweet it to the devs.
Dont expect help from these fotm chasers on the forums, fixing the hmg would be a direct counter to their holy cloaky shotgun.
These forums are full of fail and aids.

Edit: I found a video showing what I mean. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPBRYgUGBbw Bro, are you blind? Why the hell do you need a DOT to tell you where the CENTER of a circle is?? Just, what???????????????? Lol, I pissed myself laughing when this was used as an excuse in the past, and I'm doing the same now. Sorry OP, but if you're having an issue getting the center of the circle on target then you're going to have issues regardless of what shape the aiming reticle is. The HMG is in an excellent place now and the only issue I have is that when I spot a cloaked tango and start firing, the muzzle flash hides the cloaked fecker, but I'm happy with that as a balancing mechanic. You're asking for a reticle change, but if I read between the lines what I'm getting is that you want the HMG to be more of a spray and pray weapon. This is not something you're going to get much support on as the HMG is finally perfectly balanced at the moment, and anyone with an interest in overall game balance will have no interest in pushing it over the edge into a massively OP weapon. Scouts and heavies are close to perfect once the cloak gets tweaked, and once medium suits get their dose of love in the next pass, infantry options should be in the best spot since Dust first started. OP, you're going to have to stand back and take a good loo at what you're asking and admit that your issues are to do with YOUR skills rather than ingame mechanics. Sorry that the truth hurts but you'll be the better for seeing it. "Science has not yet taught us if madness is or is not the sublimity of the intelligence." -- Edgar Allan Poe

Exactly what I thought, at 1st I thought someone necro'd an old thread but nope, todays date. Haven't clicked it but if it's the video I think it is didn't CCP use that exact video as a basis for changing the dispersion? The HMG dispersion was fixed but what the OP might be having problems with is that that outside 10m you really need the center of the circle to be on the target to get decent damage, but hey, that really shouldn't be an issue.

These forums are full of fail and aids. Absolute bull is all I'm getting off this. Yes, heavies, and non heavies when they saw the video Ghaz sent CCP, complained about the issue. But the issue was fixed half way through 1.7 due in the main part to Ghaz, or there abouts. And as for FOTM chasers, most of the people responding here have been running heavy HMG for a long time, so ya might want to get your facts right. Us long time users are actually trying to help, maybe a bit heavy handed, but it's still help.

Rocking with Mr. Poe. o7 Lol, yeh, some of his stuff I love and it makes me chuckle, possible due to how true it is. I was going to use the next one but what I have is more my style "I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity" The full quote is even better but a bit to long for a sig "I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity. During these fits of absolute unconsciousness, I drank - God only knows how often or how much. As a matter of course, my enemies referred the insanity to the drink, rather than the drink to the insanity." It might be a bit to much for some people but hey, that's why there's so many different artists and art forms.
