Are you guys running out of ammo a lot because there is such a large population of heavies in the game now?
I am unloading a full CR clip and 13 SCP rounds into these heavies and it still doesn't take them down. I am astounded at the amount of ammo required to drop these guys.

Most heavies don't have more than 1500-1700 EHP, even the bricked Amarr vs CR.
I think your problems are somewhat deeper than the heavy EHP.
That is all optimum range. You do know that in battle, especially against a tacky glue death ray that sticks you to the floor as soon as you get hit, you have to take some shots out of range. I generally try to start off with a few ADS SCP head shots, but you know that heavies can turn around faster than I can take them out, which requires maneuvering in and out of optimum range for either weapon.
I'd like to stack about 4 complex damage mods, but I don't have the slots.
It really sucks when supply depots get blown away.

Yes, I run out of ammo all the time, but even faster now that the fields are saturated with fat boys. What's the most effective weapon against heavies. It's probably time for me to spec into a new weapon. Mass Driver?

Don't forget to calculate for repping during the engagement. I have literally watched their armor/shields grow back during a firefight.

We throw grenades just for the party too. Coordinated attacks. Coordinated ability. Coordinated win GOML
I don't intend to be rude, but please don't write GOML if you can't solo a heavy. Thanks for the tip, but I am a total loser and run lone wolf.
I agree, swarming heavies is the best plan, but in the heat of battle I often end up mono e mono.

So GOML is appropiate. Basically, I understand that a heavy is powerful and respect it. And that shows in how I engage a heavy.
Also, disengaging from a 1 on 1 is something that falls on deaf ears with most players. That's how you stay alive in Dust, knowing when to fight and when to run like hell.
I agree that heavies are bad mofos, and I'm not saying that they are OP or anything. I also agree with carefully selecting targets to engage. I'm simply stating that I run alone, and I'm looking for the most ammo-effective way to dispense of heavies for a lone wolf, since the battlefields are teeming with them.
Of course, my favorite tactic is simply to squash them with a drop ship when I get the chance to do so, but that isn't always the most expedient method.
