-nowadays.
The HMG has less or similar range as Ion Pistols and it's the only heavy weapon intended for AI and it's not easy to break through shields with it. Sentinels scan profiles and scan precision suck so people easily sneak up on you, their sprint and movement speed makes it difficult to chase targets and current TTK makes a Sentinel a walking bullet sponge that dies within seconds if they don't have a reptool on them 24/7... so what's the point of using them as a solo player?
Maybe it's time we get a new heavy weapon that's better against shields than armor and has more range than the HMG (Call it Ion Driver or something, lol) and sentinels should probably get a buff to their HP and or Resistances, slightly buff ewar and finally nerf Repair tools that are one of the reasons that brought sentinels to the sad and dependent state in which they find themselve's now... oh, who am I kidding, nobody's going to support this.

I adapt. I'm a Sentinel user. I play solo most of the time.
I want the Ion Disruptor now, the ultimate heavy weapon. Driver is more Matari sounding, Ion is pure Gallente bruh. And the Sents don't need buffs, they survive more than the rest. The HMG still shreds through shields, I atleast do. But IonD please. CCP NOW.

The point, dear friend is the wonderful piece of tech called a Forge gun.
The Militia forge gun, with practice, can make a mockery out of proto guys, snipers, campers, people who get up in your face.
Ditch that scrubby ass HMG and get to work on learning to forge bro!

Militia forge cannot overheat and has 8 times the range of the HMG. Confirming militia forge is OP and needs to be removed.

Good.
Now, do you feel the power surging through your veins? Do you hear the sound of the Gemini microcapacitor winding up as it charges when you are away from the game and about to go to sleep...?

The HMG still has greater than 20 meters of advantage over the ion pistols 20 meter range. You are outright fabricating this 'fact'. Most of the rest of your complaints are called 'drawbacks' and are there to balance out the sentinels serious advantages. I'm so sorry that you cant steamroll everything like an invincible battle-god with a 1000dps weapon and 2000hp suit getting fed HP at a rate faster than any other suit.
And no **** you if you want more hp on suits that are ALREADY CAPABLE OF HITTING 2000 HP when bricked (lol amarr sentinel!). You still have one of the highest damaging weapons in the game, figure it the **** out.

You can get about 1800 HP on a fully bricked Amarr Sentinel Ak.0... also, I never said it was a 'fact' that Ions have more or similar range to HMG's. I played with the HMG for a while today and I couldn't deal serious damage to enemies that were 25-30 meters away. I already know the range was nerfed in favor of the AHMG btw.

So you admit you were lying about ion pistols and hmgs having the same range? what else could be misrepresented by you!
Flawed premises and lies are a great way to start a discourse. I have no pity for your HMG / sentinel woes, it sounds like you have a serious case of the bads.

But doc, I've been like this since I can remember and I haven't been able to do anything about it since I started playing. Tell me, what can I do to make it better?

Please tell me what combination of extenders and plates I need to make 2000 HP on an amar sentinel? Cos using all proto ones I find myself a bit short.
Not even being able to get basic facts right invalidates everything else you say.

Through experience I can confirm that Sentinels can perform very well at solo work. You just have to find the right suit and module combinations. I will leave the fun of discovering what suits/mod combo's are utterly evil to you guys.

I'm a ******* awful Sentinel..... I mean I really try but they are so slow to react to everything and the HMG defies my capabilities to use. I spend my time trying to hit them with every bullet instead of spraying an area.

I would but since you just don't have too many people complaining about them anymore , CCP might just feel like their in a good place . True you can't solo with them the way you might like but it's still possible if your in a game with people that's aware because your just not going to be alone with 31 other players , so to " solo " isn't really soloing because you will always have someone around you ... friend or foe .
I totally understand you though and feel for you Bro .
At least you don't have the forums full of complaints about your role anymore ... to me it was kinda bogus because after the heat increase they seemed like they were in a good place but to some that just wasn't enough .
You have people that just don't like what kills them .
Heavy hate , HAV hate , Swarm hate and ScR hate just to name a few .
Now you have people playing more roles other then heavy with a HMG and scout with a SG and whatever so it's not much of a problem , which was the problem .
Just don't see too many nerf scout and heavy threads anymore because people are playing other roles , to me that was more of a problem then anything else .
Doubts are like flies and should be treated as such and crushed . #PubsShouldBeRandomPlayers

Solo work is possible if you use it as intended, not running around from point to point.
If you want to do that, however, the MinSent is actually quite viable.

Maybe they should buff the HMG...even at the basic/militia level, it's still a freakin' minigun. Has poor range triumphed by the assault rifles and up close it's triumphed by the shotgun or those freakin' butter knives. CCP, how about making the miniguns actual miniguns? It's even powerful against shields isn't it? But irl it tears the sh*t out of metal..

hmg was really only effective at 5-15 meters.
ammo wise that is.. anything further and you would be using 200+ rounds to down a target.
honestly though. its a freaking minigun.
it needs to be very destructive.
it needs to be capable of wiping out a bunch of scrubs grouped together.
it needs to carry lots and lots of ammo with a super large mag size.
it needs to be feared.
lets just do a massive buff to the hmg. but remove the sprint ability for all that wield it.
and maybe remove the sprint ability of all heavies and buff and resistances.
make them the true bullet sponges they were meant to be. you shouldnt need cover with that suit. you should be cover.
buuuuut.. thats probly never going to happen as most people seem to want twitch shooters and dont want their enemies to have no actual time to react.
because they have no skill except shooting first.
if only we could pilot the mcc.
id end the matches real quick.

Yeah actually make the weapon 'heavy' decrease user mobility, make it hard to control But make it powerful at the same time. Make it so we are actually wielding a force to be reckoned with

Am I wrong to assume that the skill you upgrade that makes a weapon stronger against shields/armor is not what the weapon is more powerful against? or was it that the skill for HMGs actually is Armor effectiveness? Thought it was Shield effectiveness..if so, my mistake.
If not, what I'm saying is the skill and native HMG effectiveness should be against armor and you should l2r.

I'll agree to a HMG buff when they don't kill my shield LAV in 3 seconds.
Not joking STD HMG did that to my shield LAV then killed me after I jumped out.
The HMG is both Anti Infantry and AV. No reason to buff right now.
