ok, i'll bite no they shouldn't be quite as quick....

but it ain't all going your way either.

scouts and assaults shouldn't be jumping around like they got springs in their boots either.
in any real warfare soldiers do not jump up and down whilst shooting.

nobody should be shooting from the hip, unless just firing to make others get to cover.
all players should be aiming to get the bullets to hit what they want them to hit aka what they are "aiming" at.

in other words you want heavys to feel heavy that's ok but for "balance"

.there should be no hip fire reticule.
.jumping whilst shooting should be wildly inaccurate.
.scouts should be for scouting not assaulting.
.shotguns should require bracing in order to shoot unless on a heavy due to high amounts of kick.
.snipers should be able to go prone.
.sniper headshots should ohk
.heavy armour should protect it's wearer

there are loads more but I've had enough, basically I'm saying that let's just leave this alone or call it what it is...
another shot at nerfing the heavy that has only just become useful again.

No, strafe speed is locked by the movement speed of the suit an cannot be increased. 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.

Seriously, how is it even reasonable for heavies to strafe ridiculously and then spray and pray with the HMG?


Edit: I think the point I'm trying to make across is that I find quite a few heavies who strafe pretty quickly, mostly amarr and minmatar heavies, and while there is a 40% difference in strafe speeds for scouts and heavies, it definitely doesn't seem like it when you're in CQC with a Heavy and they use KB/M. And honestly, IDGAF if heavy strafes are nerfed or not, this is really just in an inquiry.
