Any suit can use a vehicle to out pace infantry that's what vehicles are for. You know what i do? I shoot the heavy driving the lav in the head.
HMG's no longer slow you down and have not for at least two months.
Combat rifles, rail rifles, scrambler rifles, sniper rifles, plasma rifles, nova knives, plasma cannons, shotguns, forge guns, bolt pistols, magsec smgs and direct mass driver hits are all effective at killing heavy's from outside the optimal range of a HMG there is no requirement to keep a HMG heavy within your optimal range concentrated fire at fall off is more then effective.
HMG Heavy's with logi using teamwork to hold a interior objective? Go around go over go under learn how fast units can move! Use range to your advantage use scouts to cut down enemy equipment and logis use vehicles to apply pressure for a flanking maneuver. Most of all use teamwork. |

Thank you for catching that i have clarified my statement about shotguns and nova knives. HMG Optimal is not 75m its more like 52m maybe less i do not have a devblog source but that is the optimal on protofits for a boundless. |

Agreed they are much harder to kill one on one then a scout. A one or two second animation for exiting or entering vehicals may be a way to fix this issue.
As a minmando i just shoot a volley of swarms or a plc bolt at the lav if that dos not get the message across the cr or acr usually finishes the lav off and the explosion kills the heavy. Solo a heavy or three in a lav is a problem in a squad its not a issue we down the lav kill the heavy's then pick up any of ours that have fallen. |

1.I am amazing yes. I blow my self up with my own mass driver nearly every match i derp my bus into my own mcc every second match. But i can still hit a heavy enough while hes approaching to kill him when he jumps out. Do i win every time? No. But a solo heavy is vulnerable even in a lav.
2.Any area in a map that a heavy/logi combo can use as a choke point can be flooded with assault mass driver fire to the point that the logi and equipment all dies and the heavy is flushed out into cross fire.
3.That is the heavy's role.
4.The fact that pubs and facwar match's are full of 'useless' blueberries is a organizational and communications failing not a balance issue. Think how awesome dust would be with MAG style communications options. The best option for a heavy/logi combo is a flanking maneuver. The simplest is a Heavy/logi combo. |
