From how I understand it, hotfixes and releases are two different things.
Releases (like 1.9 and the one that is coming on Dec 9th, 1.10) are for adding or removing content and changing game mechanics/netcode.
Hotfixes like Alpha-Delta are for number tweaks. For example: Change the dispersion of this gun by x percent. The smallest of the small that requires no data being altered on your client.
So the coming 1.10 is a release and will be focusing on changing game mechanics and will require a client update. Expect a change to guns on the next hotfix when nothing new gets added or altered fundamentally.

Besides, the Assault HMG does not need increased damage. It just needs to be able to reach a little farther, which probably means it needs decreased dispersion so that it can get closer to the range it has on paper.
It works fine on Line Harvest and a few other maps that have the right combination of open space and cover to allow you to control your engagement range. The problem is that the engagement range is so limited that it is only effective on a couple of maps. If it was effective 10m farther out than it is now it would be useful on a lot more maps.
You ideally want to engage at ranges greater than 15m with the Assault HMG, so normally you would not use it in an urban environment, unless you expect to be engaging across a large open space such as a road. Try to avoid using it in CQC as hit does not have the DPS for CQC. That is not what it was made for.
Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.
