I'm assuming when you're asking about assaulting a stacked objective solo when you say 'flooded' objective. As in, there are heavies with logis and probably some assaults to boot and you're trying to break through.
I suspect what you're running into is a very close quarter objective with multiple heavies running Assault HMGs with logis backing them up. If you're the only heavy, storming that will be hard and if your logi doesn't have the max skills to back you, you were going to melt anyways.
I'm not sure how long your break was but if it was any decent amount of time you're going to have to get used to the new overheat. That's what is killing most heavies today. They don't pay attention to their overheat and they also try to engage way too far outside their optimal range.
Stick to close quarters and smart spray tactics. You're going to have to do away with stomping forward like a stationary turret and rounding cover just like an assault. Try to lure a cocky heavy with his logi around. His body will block the hallway so you'll only have to outdo one heavy at a time. So it will come down to who is more accurate and who has the better logi backing them. Once that heavy is down, terminate and heal up + cool down your gun. Then poke your head out again.
Timing is key. You can't wait too long or the whole team will come once they realize you two are alone. But too soon and you won't have enough juice to make it through.
That being said, it's always going to be a gamble.
- It's possible that once that first heavy goes down, the second will come right after through that doorway instead of backing up.
- It's possible he has 3 rep tools on and you only have 1, so he can just simply outlast you.
- I also don't know if you have a mic and since you haven't joined a corp, my guess is you don't regularly squad up either. So if you're not in great communication with your logi, it's possible they won't be able to help you fully. Like tell you when an assault/scout is flanking/above or if they know you need to back up because the best rep tool in this game will never match the dps you'll receive.
Rail Rifles still deliver mega punch at a far distance. Scrambler Rifles will strip your shields before you can blink and still do good damage to your armor in the same clip. Flaylocks are ok now, but Bolt Pistols are freaking devastating. If you're a heavy, I highly recommend it as a sidearm. It does huge damage over a fairly good distance. Take some getting used to tho.
But in general, hope you have fun coming back and playing. If I ever see you in game, I'll be happy to logi you if you'll be my meat shield =^_^=
