Allow me to introduce you to this brand-new weapon we have here. We call this weapon the "Rail Rifle." Built through inferior caldari committees it still holds the distinction of being one of the longest-range weapons in New Eden that can be carried man-portably. When operated at ranges in excess of 40 meters it significantly outperforms even the vaunted "Boundless" Heavy machinegun, and allows for safe dispatching of the targets at range. When combined with the more mobile Caldari Assault dropsuits the weapon shines as the dispersion on most weapons traditionally used in hard counter with the Caldari are of poor utility at best at the ranges the little Megacorp stooges prefer to operate at, thusly allowing for ample protection via shield extension and energizing.
Further, due to the Rail Rifle's enhanced utility versus armor , the Gallente and Amarr sentinel suits tend to rapidly succumb to long-range fire unless they allow themselves to become pinned behind cover, in which case, mission accomplished, they're not doing anything useful to aid their squadmates.
Of particular not to be wary of while using this fine piece of equipment is ourr own Caldari Forge Gun. As this weapon is also considered extreme range antimateriel, it was deemed unsuitable for use as an infantry-killer. This assumption has been rapidly made a mockery of by skilled Sentinels around New Eden. As Your Rail Rifle does operate at Range, it operates best from a stable firing platform that is not moving. When confronted with Forge Guns, Mobility is absolutely key.
Never hold still for longer than it takes to pull the trigger a few times, move unpredictably, and unlike when facing a Heavy Machinegun, it is always preferable to engage the Forge Gun in close as opposed to at range. You are less likely to lose a clone as most heavies must switch to secondary weapons. However, Be aware that the Sentinels who exclusively operate the Assault Forge Guns have been known to operate effectively in close. But the tactics apply. Don't hold still, don't run in straight lines, and always hit the Sentinel from an oddball angle so he wastes most of his time (and defenses) desperately trying to find you.
No seriously. Is this rocket science or something? It REALLY IS THIS EASY!
This is how people kill my sentinel suits.
Dipsticks who charge right at me trying to throw an RE at me just make it easy to rack up cheap kills. Shotties to the back of the head (From assaults and Logis) tends to be bad for one's day. |

Sadly this pretty much sums up most of the heavy complaints.
PG/CPU gets nerfed. Rejoice. If assault gets a boost pretty much the only people you will see in fatsuits are people like me.
So, don't worry, you're screwed either way. |

The Heavy's are the problem. I hear them crying about remote explosives yet there is hardly one other way you can defend yourself against Heavy's. Dust is being a bootleg rock paper scisor shutes where the heavy is the rock and instead of paper beating rock the rock dominates everything. It just needs to stop! If heavies are indeed the rock, believe me their is a paper. You need to stop playing scissors.
Quit using logic in these forums damn you |

No he won't.
He's going to cry about us until CCP kills us for him.
Same tactic every time. |

No he won't. He's going to cry about us until CCP kills us for him. Same tactic every time. Oh of course. You mean the same way Heavy's cry about RE's. Sometimes I like carrying things OTHER than remotes. Although maybe I shouldn't complain after all you guys are the ones that give me 6 kills each RE.
Actually, I found throwing RE to be a perfectly valid tactic. But that's more to do with the fact that dropping one on a truly aggressive sentinel or Commando is not a trivial task. Against lazy FOTM chasers? I offer my blessing to the deliverers of sudden BOOM.
Honestly with the Heat change and fitting reductions, you should see a sharp drop in FOTM fatties. You'll be left with the dedicated donut chasers like me. |
