No. It does not.

The scout has a hitbox one third the size of a heavy, with nearly twice the actual side speed. Things interact.

Some of you boys are looking very, very desperately for things to complain about that do not benefit yourself. Were you in the FGC you would've been banned from just about every competitive forum on principle due to how annoying and uncompetitive it is to publicly whine about someone elses toolset on a regular basis. This kind of attitude is a pox in the FPS community and needs to be cleaned up.

While I don't actively play scout or heavy myself you both seem to be pretty partial, for example the Heavy deals almost twice the DPS (if it's a shotgun it's a different story) and the heavy has twice if not three time the HP and can fire much longer.
Though to strafe anywhere near that fast the heavy has to make huge sacrifices and is still vastly outperformed by the scout in that aspect 40% is it no small number and it gets bigger as you stack plates.

It can only be decreased by putting on Armor Plates. Now Heavy Frames and Commandos do have a slightly higher movement speed than Sentinels, but its not significant enough to make them perform like a Scout. In addition the Minmatar heavies are a little bit faster. So there are ways to get a fairly quick heavy, but it doesn't even come close to Scout levels. Like my ideas? Pokey Dravon for CPM1

Since when do heavies have the same strafe speed as scouts? What you encountered is a heavy using his left stick to move left and right as fast as he could, and you got rekt. Deal with it. But naaaa... let's QQ and complain about heavies beating up on you. Poor baby.

A CK.0 scout has a movement speed of 5.45m/s and a strafing speed of about 4.91m/s. (no plates in the lowslots) The scout is strafing 74% faster then the heavy. If you have problems shoting a heavy that is strafing then your gungame must be horrible.
