They are far too easy to use for them to absorb that much damage and be able to use out the highest DPS of any gun in the whole game.
A few EWAR changes here and there and I am seeing a slight decrease in the scout population, but heavies, mostly Sentinels are going at it strong. Being spammed all across the game and the drive-by Heavies.
The best thing to do in my opinion here is to make some changes to the HMG, make it have a little bit more faster heat build up, reduce the RPM, and maybe even give the HMG a spool up time. Like real mini-guns, that need to spin a little before the rounds start firing.
This will add at least some gun game to the HMG users and will require a little bit more skill.
I could give out numbers on how heat, RPM and spool up time will work on the different HMGs but I am in no way good with numbers.
What do you guys say?

Sentinels are too OP and no amount of heat build-up nerfs will stop their reign. Just nerf the sentinels movement speed enough so they HAVE to do their job of point defense, and nerf HMG range to like 10-20 meters.(it'll stop car heavies also because they won't be able to get to hit you if you run away,)

Make a list of their strengths & weaknesses , then decide whether to nerf their strengths or buff their weaknesses.
If that doesn't work there's always Breakin Stuff's proposal.

It's with HMG sentinels that people are mostly complaining about.
The HMG in itself is a gun with little to no drawbacks. It has the same effectiev range as the AR and the heat build up is barely there. Accompany that with it's huge RPM and you get a very powerful gun.
Now the suits don't need a nerf.
They are slow enough already (unless someone decides to put Kinkats on them)
Plus any nerf to the suits will make the Minmatar Sentinels very UP.
I think a few changes to the HMG will make tourist Sentinels stay away from it.

Sorry I run all suits and I can tell you a heavy against a fast suit is no match. HMG has only so much range, I have caught scouts from behind and should have killed them. Nope, hit detection and speed, I watch as my bullets bounced off as they ran out of my range only to be killed by them a few seconds later. I will even make this interesting, I will use my new toy, my Min Assault and you can use an advanced heavy with any HMG you choose. I run as fast or faster than most scouts, and I will out DPS easily with my weapon. So I have range and speed over you. The heavy is a niche role and if you force the heavy to play outside that role they will lose. Stop taking a heavy head on, distance, speed, and flanking is key to dropping most heavies.

The thing is. I don't even take heavies head on 
My style of gameplay consists of flanking and outmaneuvering my enemy.
But every day I am noticing an increasing number in the Sentinel population. now every turner I run into there is a freaking Sentinel waiting for me. You can say that I could have seen them coming, but for some reason they don't show up 70% of the time in my TACNET.
This is not about nerfing the heavy as a whole. This is about taking control of it's increasing use in the game.

And people [calvin b], don't bring speed, flanking, etc as an argument.
How do you want to use speed and flanking in towns?
Where every fight is at 30m range and everyone [but scouts] is glowing on tancent.
I'm a good slayer [scout,assault] and i [as others] can deal with them like with everything else.

Nerf the range and make a spool up time but leave there speed of self alone .
There already the slowest and most visible but yes , a little more reliance on there side arm wouldn't be bad .
Screw with there speed and scouts would have more of a field day with them and I'm sure you know better .
I see comments like that and I think about cloaked shot gunning , the scrub glitch .
Doubts are like flies and should be treated as such and crushed .

In real life there aren't plasma rifles/cannons/pistols, laser rifles/pistols, you get my argument.
And should we remove RR and BP spool up? Cuz in real life they most likely wouldn't need to charge. Its a freaking electric railgun...

I hope you mean the standard variant HMG?
The burst certainly needs no further nerfs and is borderline detrimental if encountering 2 or more people.

If you complain about how much you get wrecked when you wear a suit with 1000+ HP, 25% damage resistance and THE highest DPS weapon in the game, just uninstall the game.
Anytime I want to pad my KDR, I just bring out a speed heavy and just dominate any other frame in my way. If you get 1v1'd by an assault, I just feel bad for you.

If you read more carefully what I typed in the thread, it is more about making the HMG taking skill to use.
The suit itself is fine.
But HMG sentinels are too easy to use and are currently being spammed a lot.
Hell, almost never have I seen such heavy use of militia heavies with HMGs ever since the Sentinel spam started. Now everyone wants a play turn and they use whatever heavy suit they have at their disposal to try and remain a bit competitive against the constant spam.
So read better. No where did I mentioned that Sentinels are OP. If anything more, they are too easy to use. That's all.

Yeah I was talking about the standard variant HMG.
If I was also talking about the other variants, I would have included them.
PS: And as of now the Burst HMG is my favorite HMG. Not because it can kill fast but because there is a big penalty for it if you get too trigger happy. Which I like! Takes a little bit of skill to use now.
No wonder they stopped being heavily used since they were changed

Minmatar Sentinel as well. And I back this up. But the difference between Minmatar Sentinel and the other's is that stacking HP mods on it would hinder you. As your eHP is still too low to be a good point defense shooting behemoth.
So one of the few choices most Minmatar Sentinels have is to Speed tank (like I do. And man is it fun to see them med frames run away when I come charging with them with my HMG almost as fast as they are  ) and use the highs for damage mods.
Or speed tank it and use the highs for shield mods so at least you can survive a little longer.
Compared to most of the heavies?
Gallente, Amarr and Caldari can just brick tank theirs and not have to worry about almost nothing. Especially if they have a logi on them.
Since Minmatar is too squishy and weak either speed tanking it or brick tanking it, many people don't use it. Because people speccing into Sentinels just want to stand in one spot and get those kills. While you can't do that with the Minmatar one which takes a little bit of skill to use.

Do you even know how the concept of a rail gun works? To have a rail gun is to accelerate a projectile at extreme speeds and a little touch of electricity would not be enough you need a massive amount for just 1 round and then there's the matter with the HMG it is NOT in any for considered a rail type weapon its a conventional gunpowder gun just like all other minmitar weapons are

The sentinels are annoying, but fine. They arent as powerful as chromosome with their ridiculous sharpshooter range and dps but not as bad as the uprising launch when they were basically glorified build a bear models that shot cotton balls. Heavies are in a good place atm. Useful, not OP. I run a speed fit sentinel gk0 and can say you can dominate in a heavy and get destroyed just as easy.

It's the constatn spam that keeps people whining and calling in for the nerf hammer to hit the Sentinel.
I have no problem going up against a heavy in one-on-one situation. If I killed him, I was smarter than him and out maneuvered him. If he killed me, I had it coming for taking a Sentinel head on.
But when every single corner I turn to there is a sentinel, I try to run away from the objective because it has been taken by a legion of enemy sentinels only to find more sentinels awaiting for me at the destination I was hoping to arrive t=to?
It is a problem.
And not only to me. It is to every other med-frame or for god sakes the scout suits.
There are various of ways that Sentinels can stay the way they are with no nerf of a little bit of change of play style.
How?
Stop spamming them on every match!
But we know how this community is and they will spam the heavy suit until it is no longer the "eas-fit" it is now.

As OP asked, sentinal pros and cons
Pros:
Resistance to explosive damage
Uses high DPS weapon
Uses a weapon with a large clip
Has the most HP of any suit in the game
Wins 1v1 any suit (unless you are a shotgun scout scrub)
Can be repped (meaning there is a larger window at which the heavy has enough armor to back away from a fight and be repped....like a warning signal)
Cons:
Slow
Bad regeneration statistics
Bad eWar statistics
bad biotic statistics
If you find anymore, tell me
My to-do list when i return to dust:
Logi my own way to an OB, and never use the cloak on my minja!
And have some ISK!

Same old story over and over and over and over again...100% of time i run with Caldari Sentinel and since Rail gun CQC is nerfed I came across at dudes with Assault rifles 70% of time and with few shots they halve my shield.Did you see me complaining?What about Snipers at redline and MCC's that cant be seen but they can see you?What about ultra fast scouts with cloak and Shotgun?Main reason you are complaining is that Sentinels with cheap ass standard fit(6000 ISK) can devastate your fat proto ass.

The best thing to do in my opinion here is to make some changes to the HMG, make it have a little bit more faster heat build up, reduce the RPM, and maybe even give the HMG a spool up time. Like real mini-guns, that need to spin a little before the rounds start firing.
This will add at least some gun game to the HMG users and will require a little bit more skill.
I could give out numbers on how heat, RPM and spool up time will work on the different HMGs but I am in no way good with numbers.
What do you guys say?
A bk42 with proficiency will destroy any armor in the game. And can be held by a invisible scout. Or hey an assault with more hp then this sentinel you speak off. The mediums and small have small hitbox.

This reply of yours shows your ignorance and incompetence to read.
I said that Sentinels are being spammed left and right everywhere now.
There is not a single match that I join that I don't see 8+ heavies on each side.
When did I said that Sentinels are OP?
When did I said that the HMG is OP?
All I said that the role is too easy to use and would to see some actual skill be implemented to it.
Because using an Assault suit against 8+ heavies targetting you is not exactly fair play. Especially on onjective based gamemodes.
I protested against the scouts, and now I am doing the same with Sentinels.
I seek game balance and fun for everyone in the game.
Not just because "I got killed, IMMA GO WHINE ABOUT IN THE FORUMS"

With the upcoming nerfs to armor plates, I think it would be fair for CCP to also nerf a little the damage done by Rail Rifles and Combat Rifles.
or else Armor tanking will be dead.

The suits are fine (maybe not the bonuses but it's not really the thing here).
The problem is with the HMG. It deals way too much damages over a way to high range (40m isn't right at all). Even at close range they just rekt everything. I know it's what they are supposed to do, but doing so while requiring NO skill isn't tolerable.
Heat build up is good now IMO and doesn't need to be changed. I propose a range reduction to 20m max and a .8s charge up time making it work as a real mini gun.

Are you guys serious? This is how y'all view heavies?
Here is a pro:
Easily spawns from uplinks anywhere so can return to the fight just as fast as a scout.
or
Most objectives sit in CQC where heavy weaknesses are nullified.
or
Usually have a logi stuck to them super repping -- and now logi gets an ewar bonus (which is shared) effectively nullifying the heavy being blind weakness.
Heavies are the only suit in the game who has their weaknesses nullified consistently by situation. |

I can't tell if you mean this or not.
Firstly, EWAR hasn't changed enough that a heavy can reliably run solo. It is still a group orientated suit because of the many weaknesses it has, range, hit box, speed, ect. The only way to make up for this is use vehicles or stick close to a corner - one method is easily hard countered with out a lot of SP investment, and even then still countered, and the EWAR value of the other suits makes camping just sorta dumb.
The maps are designed for multiple paths to objectives - this gives the advantage EWAR suits, or plainly every suit but a speed heavy. (lol)
And if your going to give me a spool up time then I'd like for my much larger shots fired from a much stronger guns bullets to reach past 40m. Otherwise your suggestion is ridiculous and isn't considering the heavy plight at all. We're meant to hold objectives - not give you a chance at a 1v1. You shouldn't be winning your 1v1's versus us in our optimal - PERIOD. We have limitations to our movement and hitboxes for a REASON.
What you've been noticing in Pubs is that if enough heavies are spammed it can lead to one side getting overwhelmed. That isn't because the suit or the gun - it's players being bad.
And I thank them for it - because, unlike you it seems, I adapted. Heavies are nothing more then fodder. I will teach them all how a heavy suit is really used, then enjoy the hate mails afterwords as they realize they can't replicate it.

Nope, hit detection and speed, I watch as my bullets bounced off as they ran out of my range only to be killed by them a few seconds later. I will even make this interesting, I will use my new toy, my Min Assault and you can use an advanced heavy with any HMG you choose. I run as fast or faster than most scouts, and I will out DPS easily with my weapon. So I have range and speed over you. The heavy is a niche role and if you force the heavy to play outside that role they will lose. Stop taking a heavy head on, distance, speed, and flanking is key to dropping most heavies.
the problem is that most fights take place im CQC ranges, where the heavy is dominant. heavies do have a niche of short range point defence, but for most players, all their fights tend to occur within the heavies niche.

*sigh*
Where did I stated that I would love to 1v1 heaviee? If anything I try to run out of his range whenever I see one.
my complaint is about the spam. I run away from one and I find another in a corner, I get away from there only to find more on the other direction I am heading.
And I dont know.
Most objectives are in an enclosed area with 2 or 3 ways to get in it.
Unless it is the objective that is at the rail walks in the Gallente Research racility where there are like 5 ways to get in.
But other than that, most objectives offer 2 or 3 entry points (accesible by foot and not uplinks on rooftops of course)
And I would also like to see the role get the skill it used to have back.
Changing the suita can break the Sentinel so I proposer HMG changes. So a Sentinel won't get too trigger happy and unleash a hell of bullets.
Which is why I love the Burst HMG. Powerful but you need to learn how to manage heat and ammo because that thing runs out of ammo fast.
Regular HMG can just keep firing for a long while. Making little to no heat management skill to apply. And it also carries a huge mag so anyone can slap it on their Heavy/Sentinel and get a multitude of skill.
A gun that powerful shouldnt be that easy to use.
I dont see the spool up time to be added to it so how about an increase in heat for it?

I think heavies shouldn't be both nimble and powerful in CQC- it seems to be dominanting the realm of CQC too much. I think the HMG should turn the heavy into a powerful human turret that is great for point defense and locking down flanks, but not very ideal for advancing down hallways and reacting to enemies appearing around corners quickly and such. I've suggested giving a massive spool time with the ability for players to "pre-charge" by holding L1 on the feedback section before. |

HMG is in a good place DPS and range wise. So if its OP, why not adjust its dispersion? Simply decrease its max accuracy, meaning less bullets impact a target at range.

You have laid out your argument for a nerf to the HMG in a very reasonable and considered way.
- The base model HMG does seem to be a bit too easy to use. The heat increase helped, but I don't advocate any more heat buildup nerfs, as that would make it feel too much like the Burst HMG. I had suggested a slightly reduced turn speed for the base model HMG, but spool-up time might work too.
- I think the Burst HMG is fine right now. (It is good, but dam hard to use.)
- The Assault HMG is actually slightly UP, but only needs a slight dispersion reduction to be able to reach out a little farther. It's DPS is low in CQC, which is how it should be. In the 20m to 30m range it is very effective. If it was adjusted to widen that to very effective at 20m to 40m then it would be perfect.

Just nerf the sentinels movement speed enough so they HAVE to do their job of point defense, and nerf HMG range to like 10-20 meters.(it'll stop car heavies also because they won't be able to get to hit you if you run away,) It's with HMG sentinels that people are mostly complaining about. The HMG in itself is a gun with little to no drawbacks. It has the same effectiev range as the AR and the heat build up is barely there. Accompany that with it's huge RPM and you get a very powerful gun. Now the suits don't need a nerf. They are slow enough already (unless someone decides to put Kinkats on them) Plus any nerf to the suits will make the Minmatar Sentinels very UP. I think a few changes to the HMG will make tourist Sentinels stay away from it.
The heat buildup was increased recently, so it is at least noticeable now.
The effective rang is miss-leading as dispersion reduces damage to nearly nothing well before its "effective range". I consider it a great accomplishment to get a kill at 40m, and that only happens if my target was on death's door before I started shooting.
Other than those two point I agree with you.
I am warming to the concept of a spool-up time where the RPM starts low and takes a fraction of a second to get up to full speed.

All the heavy has going for it is HP and dps.
Everything else can do a lot more and even do what other suits can do but just not as well.
If you nerf the heavy using your logic, it would be a suit that is only useful inside a room and has just enough range to reach the doorway..........
Its a fking heavy with a hmg, deal with it.

How is increasing heat build up or adding a spool time making the heavy useful only inside a room?
In any case this will scare away the spammers and you can finally tell the difference between a dedicated heavy and a tourist heavy.

I just thought about smt, make the HMG hit harder when it heats a lot (lire Laser Rifles) and divide its base damage by 2. So the instablap HMG heavy will have to wait a little (mostly if firing at range) in order to deal its full damage. And he'll have to care about the overheat!
It would actually require some skill to use the weapon then^^ What do you guys think about that?
(Talking about normal variant HMG mostly).
Assault, Logi, Scout, Heavy.. What do you need?
