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. 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.

Easier said than done. When you are waving the HMG to hit a target that is strafing or bouncing all around is not very easy, then you add the speed of the heavy, and the increased TTK you face different outlook. Plus when you are taking on multiple targets you do not have time to spray and pray, I want to aim hit, and move on to the next target, not try and aim a small dot on a fast moving scout or assault. |

Its not about hitting with an HMG, its the sights that need to be fixed. What part did you not understand. I can hit the target, the sights make it difficult do to there poor design is all I am saying. |

How is it OP, it is doing its job. Have you ever read the description of a heavy. I will sum it up, able to take on tanks and hold points. No problem doing so, all I am saying is please fix the sights for they are horrible. What is not OP is the stupid merc who tries to solo a heavy with an AR. Stop trying to rush a heavy head on by yourself and work with your team and you will not be complaining the HMG is OP. |

Lol increased TTK? Hmg is the only weapon that didn't get nerfed. Your basically beating around the bush to say heavies are UP.
Get good.

What is wrong about wanting a better sight. Its terrible. I have a circle the size of a clone and the only part that actually causes damage is a very small dot. That is stupid, the whole sights should work, its not a snipers scope. If the target falls into my sights they should take damage.

Quick note: the HMG sights are amazing because you just enter doom mode and have full view of whats infront of you, you are actually talking about the targeting reticule, not the sights

No, just no. You know exactly why it's wrong to be baby fed every little thing to you. It's a circle, there's a middle, put your enemy in the middle of it. This is not rocket science.

Apparently you lack any comprehension skills. Where did I mention anything about the heavy, I was talking about the sights on the HMG which is used by a heavy frame. All I am asking for is the sights on the HMG to be fixed, dammit I only have two weapons for my heavy can I at least have something that works right. The heavy has had to deal with the HMG fiasco and the FG issues. |

Its not baby fed, its called fixing a blaring problem that has gone on for a very long time. Its an issue just like all the other issues, its just been around a lot longer and needs to be fixed. I would like a decent sight on my weapon. How would you feel if you sights were a certain size but only 1% of it hit the target. |

I'm not sure why you're trying to aim down the sights with the HMG, it is a spray the prey weapon. The HMG doesn't perform well as a precision weapon and isn't meant to; hell when the thing had pinpoint accuracy with hip fire it was an absolutely sh!tty weapon to use.

I understand what you mean by aiming. Yes you are correct when it comes to being a spray weapon, but why do we have an assault version then with longer range? |

How would you feel if you sights were a certain size but only 1% of it hit the target. define 'decent' because, to me, and literally the rest of the world, decent means good enough. If you cannot put someone in the middle of the circle, you're probably the one who is not good enough. I have been a heavy for 2 years in this game, and never once had it even occurred to me that there was anything remotely wrong with the sights, in fact, why is there a dot in the first place? Does CCP really think people so are dumb they can't tell where the center of a 3 inch circle is?
... oh, guess they were right.

Um, I might get flamed for this, but I personally think it's fine. It's like the shotgun, in a sense, but with a center sight. Unlike the shotgun, though, the bullets flow through the whole reticle, not just 75% of it. |

It still mostly shoots towards the center. Or else hit detection is just such crap nothing dies unless directly in the middle. I should be able to at least have at least half my DPS at the edges of the circle, but it doesn't even tickle.

Ttk doesn't exist with the hmg. Also if your having issues aiming the hmg you seriously need to take a deep long look at why you play video games. Most hilarious thread in a while. |

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.

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.

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.

Passed out, woke back up.
The sights are not a problem, you're referring to the reticule, and that's not even a problem. Anything fast enough to get out of the way at most often is low health. Turn your x sensitivity up a tad. I heavy full time and rarely ever have a problem with killing and I only rarely have to pull out my boundless or six kin burst. I can use adv gear all day.

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.

As a matter of course, my enemies referred the insanity to the drink, rather than the drink to the insanity."

You can fix it YOURSELF! That's right. Instead of making a post, go online and buy a clear sight sticker that goes on your screen. There are 100's of styles to choose from. I have it on my thale.

I actually like the sights, and through experience, I can tell where the center. If the forge gun did have a center dot, then I think it would be a little too easy to use, and you would see far too many militia forge heavies around sniping people. I believe that is it one of the cleverest things that CCP designed... |

The bullets fill the whole reticule. Easier said than done. When you are waving the HMG to hit a target that is strafing or bouncing all around is not very easy, then you add the speed of the heavy, and the increased TTK you face different outlook. Plus when you are taking on multiple targets you do not have time to spray and pray, I want to aim hit, and move on to the next target, not try and aim a small dot on a fast moving scout or assault. Lol increased TTK? Hmg is the only weapon that didn't get nerfed. Your basically beating around the bush to say heavies are UP. Get good. Apparently you lack any comprehension skills. Where did I mention anything about the heavy, I was talking about the sights on the HMG which is used by a heavy frame. All I am asking for is the sights on the HMG to be fixed, dammit I only have two weapons for my heavy can I at least have something that works right. The heavy has had to deal with the HMG fiasco and the FG issues.
then you add the speed of the heavy
right there.

HMG spread is still basically pinpoint, its bullets should have more spread. Machine guns are known as area weapons. Look up beaten zones. it needs more ingame effective spread, not just the effects that make it look like it does.

Just, what???????????????? What is wrong about wanting a better sight. Its terrible. I have a circle the size of a clone and the only part that actually causes damage is a very small dot. That is stupid, the whole sights should work, its not a snipers scope. If the target falls into my sights they should take damage.
No, they hotfixed the HMG having laser like accuracy, it actually disperses throughout the whole cone now.
