No, nerf their turn speed. A Sentinel is for mowing down what's in FRONT of them. Not a quick 360 spin. They should have to take time to turn around. If you strafe behind them, it's their fault for not killing you in the front. That's why you have people behind Sentinels.

Heavies- Turn Slowly, no resistance, relying on HP.
Sentinels- Higher HP, resistance, you could do an Irish gig if you get behind one before they turn around.

I'm with you bro, but Rattati says these guys get to keep the ~~free pass~~ insta-spin. I say base rotation speed on total armor (i.e. the more the armor the slower the spin).

* Fixes CalSentinels
* Fixes GalSentinels
* Fixes FotM brick-tanked Scouts

But GalSentinels didn't much like this. Shocker. They said they should be able to spin around just as fast as a merc with 1/5th their HP. Because fairness.

If you're not going against other heavies, you'll have a fun time. Your bane will be scouts more fricking tanked out than you lol Honestly though the turn speed needs to change. If you have a Logi on you, then you shouldn't be concerned with turning around. So...why do you care? Oh right I forgot people want to Lone Wolf in a Team-based game...

But honestly, why should something with 1000 armor turn as fast as my Min Assault with 169? A heavies' job is to slay in front of them. If you ever see a true firefight, you have the heavies slugging bullets, and the rest of the team shooting from around them. A heavy should not be able to insta-turn to face new threats, because it is already so deadly from in front. It is the job of the players to exploit that weakness and get around them, which heavies would then counter by roaming in groups, making them more deadly Assaults slay scouts Scouts slay Heavies Commandos slay Assaults Heavies slay everything Logis rep everything Plus, nerving this change speed slightly as a test would not hurt. Change it by 1%, see if there is a difference. It would also fix the outcry of the HMG power. Something firing that many rounds and all should kill you if you are IN FRONT of it. The problem with heavies is even if you get behind them and start laying into them with you Six Kin Combat Rifle, they just turn around and blap you no problem. If you get behind a heavy, it's their fault for not using situational awareness. I don't like being forced to use REs to kill heavies with 1500 hp, and while I could and do coordinate fire with my squad, 6 of us can not concentrate fire on a squad of heavies. It's just not doable From the Clone Wars I came. Here, I am a man among tamed beasts, and a god...among men.- 501st Headstrong.
