If you use the freedom AHMG the expression of annoyance on YOUR part becomes pants-pissing terror on theirs. You can strip a pythons shields before overheat but finishing it off won't happen.

You cannot break shield regen.

Incubus regens too fast. My best estimate is to kill a derpship you need 2-3 AHMG focusing fire to crash them.

Not that this bothers me. I just find it hilarious.

Consider that a Python's armor takes 100% damage from infantry weapons. Just pull out your sniper rifle side arm and you can oneshot that shieldless python !

.. I'm not kidding.

It even loses armor from flux strikes.

Just took two HAVs, one shield and one armour, down to about 20% HP each with a AHMG (this is two separate engagements) and got neither damage WP or kill assist WP. Anyone else had this?

I give up on the Destroy 25 Installations. Playing Skirmish, in an Amarr Sent, I have the Breach Forge Gun. I have almost taken down an enemy station down to a sliver of health or so. Charging the last shot and as I release the trigger a Friendly Min commando with a PLC walks infront of me and shoots the station. I get 25 points for a kill assist. He hopes in a tank and drives away. And I got killed trying to run back to our side. It is a sad day to be a mercenary. Good thing I don't run Min Meds but still sucks I won't get it. Great community we have here in Dust.

Amarr, mostly. I don't use meta beyond STD in pubs, so I've been seen in all 4 races suits trying out different things, and on alts I've proto out and have done everything possible a heavy can do between 50 different alts.

I'm a tad out of date, though, as i've been gone for several months. Seems HMG took a range nerf, AHMG is now AV and better vs Infantry *with strafe nerf it's about to get another boost*. But for the most part everything else is the same which means...

Minmatar is still a public only pub stomp suit, it's strafe makes it ideal for casual players looking to pad stats and grind as quickly as possible, as i don't believe any other combination of any other suit or weapon beats the Min/HMG out-put in a pub game for cost vs effectiveness. But it's limited actual use in competitive play makes it more vulnerable then the Amarr or Caldari who are capable of keeping sustained fire on themselves and then rep themselves. It is, however, the best heavy for players who want to pretend they're a glorified scout on there objective - you'll be more useful then any assault suit, but if your enemy knows what they're doing you'll be grinding your teeth as your speed amounts to nothing thanks to your hit box.

Caldari would still be the hardest hitting of the heavies, with the best AV. Shields are pretty weak atm with ScR use everywhere, so this suit probably is better left for situational AV roles. The increase DPS with high slots is very unhelpful tbh.

Gallente - has no role, has no use, has no purpose. It's better then the Caldari or Minmatar for point defense and survability, but is so completely out-classed in every way by the Amarr that its pointless to pick this suit.

Amarr - the do all suit. Best health, best reps, best speed, and if you know how to AV you'll realize a very fast moving forge gun is dangerous as hell to ADS and Tankers.

I've always found the Gal Sentinel to be a good all-purpose suit; 3 lows means good armour, reps or speed while 2 highs makes it a better AV choice than the Amarr and gives it a little more utility.

Only time I see the Amarr do well is brick tanked and towing Logis.

The argument i make about AV is that DMG mods aren't changing how many rounds it takes to bring down an ADS without at least 3 on.

But mobility makes a difference in all sorts of ways.

Problem with it is no corp in PC wants there forger to do anything but camp roofs. Funny enough, a speed heavy on a roof is the most annoying target for an ADS as it can't hit us, lol.

I dunno, I've seen ADS pull out of an attack when they see me tank their missiles and charge up a shot. Speed Heavies can't really move fast and return fire.

And mods make a difference to the BFG, which renders mobility moot when charging.
