If I were 1,500HP Sentinel with a 900 DPS weapon, I'd expect my back to be my weakspot.

I'd never dream to ask for insta-spin; such an ability would allow to me to protect my weakspot too easily. Any unit who seeks to eliminate me should be angling for a flank, and it should be my highest priority to keep them from successfully getting behind me. Those who I catch should be obliterated. But when one does succeed in flanking me, I must accept my death. This is the only to justify my massive HP reserves and DPS.

It doesn't balance out, unfortunately. What happens when you have a turn speed penalty on a CQC weapon is you always lose to the person who simply orbits around you and shoots you in the side of the head.

Literally the only people you can kill are the lemmings who run at you firing in a straight line or stand still. turn speed penalties can work to balance a ranged weapon so that while it is a beast at range, the instant you get into CQC you can strafe around it shooting it in the side of the head. Just don't let him get a bead on you before you hit 20m.

Just don't let him get a bead on you before you hit 20m. I believe you. We saw it in early Uprising. These are more my "expectations" of a multiplayer game ... Why does this unit come with the very best Sword and a Shield twice as big as everyone else's? Oh ... its slow and it has a tough-to-defend bigass weakspot on its back ... its Havel. As it pertains to Dust, I suspect we could find mechanical means by which to prevent the orbiting scenario. If not, then Rattati is likely right that heat is our best bet. Let the titan swing. If he hits you, you lose. If he misses, you win. To take down the titan more reliably, rush him in pairs. He'll only get one of you.

Anyway, I'll agree that the sents are a bit uber powerful right now, but still their job as heavies is to be a walking tank. They aren't impossible to kill yeah, harder than a midframe obviously, they do have some good counters though. The only thing I can really say that's odd in balancing them would be the fact they turn so fast/strafe, and the grenade slot. Why do they have a grenade slot? That's like putting another main gun on a tank.....it's usually a flux nade too. (Minja no like) Sinboto - The True Blood Minja Forum Warrior level 5 Prof 1 Born of the Brutor tribe
