That's what the description says. But in the current state all the heavy suit is an easy target. I die by splash damage more than by direct hit. Surely a suit as big and slow as this and stated design was to be able to go toe to with a vehicle and survive. Give the suit some kind of advantage to splash damage or missile damage.

Dude CCP says that a heavy can go toe to toe with a tank. Bullcrap! It cant even go toe to toe with an LAV. Instant road kill LMFAO.

Heavys need more HP or atleast armor hardner modules.

Something has to be able to stand up to all these vehichels.

Unless that is all this game is going to be about who has the better tanks and drop ships.

Infantry is just an after thought. Something you spec into after you Max out your tank skills.

I just went toe to toe with a tank :I I ofcouse was doing alot of running, but I beat it in like what, two clips O.o

they differ only in the number of slots

Forge gunners can go toe to toe with a tank tbh

They made hide behind a small hill and pop out when charged up and take no damage or if they get close enough to the tank that none of my turrets can hit him because hes that close or slightly downhill and my turret cannot go any lower than lvl

If you mean go toe to toe straight up no cover then tbh my 4 missiles at 500dps a piece with around 150 splash each says no to the heavy quite a bit, but heavys in general do take more splash damage and survive longer in general

Kitten that man....heavies don't want to die at all. Two lavs going head on will both get destroyed why should a heavy with less shield and armor withstand that??

The heavies are fine the way they are.....requiring two infantry to take them down.

Are you suggesting that Militia LAV with some speed modules that lower his armor should blow up during roud-kill to heavy proto with shield and armor tank?

I think heavies should be resistant to splash damage. Best fix IMHO if they are leaving suit HP flattened.

As much fun as it is to tank hunt and drop ship hunt. The cost is not worth it. I have yet to see these big payouts you tank drivers think we get from taking out your tanks. I took out 2 tanks and a drop ship and multiple lavs my pay out was 125,000 isk

I died many many times with expensive gear.

Unless you can take a tank out with les than a few deaths its not cost effective to the payout.

In builds in the past there was a big payout for taking out tanks.

Don't get me wrong I will still hunt em down cause its fun but it is a money looser to do so.

^ this

I've had matches where i've taken out multiple tanks/LAVs plus a few dropships (including the people who didn't jump out when they went down lol) and I don't think I broke anywhere near 150K-175K.

I said two lavs...(meaning two free lavs of relatively equal armor) will both be destroyed in a head on collision. So, why should a regular soldier in a heavy suit be able to survive being hit by a tank.

A heavy proto suit may have a little over 1000hp in total health? (Correct me if I'm wrong). But a lav may have 2000hp in shields alone. Why should a soldier survive an impact that a vehicle wouldn't?

Heavies need to be looked at.

I still say just reduce the effects of Splash Damage on the heavy so we can still keep a steady shot under pressure.

actually ive suggested to bring heavies more in line with an "infantry tank" role heavies should be immune to splash and the knock effect
would make using the breach forge guns less risky since u cant move at all during that 6 sec charge up

would also make you immune to grenades, mass drivers, and other forges

another imperfect fool crying about vehicles. You can allready hide behind a hill and dodge missiles with that. Another thing is missiles allready have beeing nerfed so if you get insta killed by a missile its probably a direct hit so get over it. Im glad that SI didnt take you into the corp. You perfectly blend into the average mind off the imperfects. Scrub. And yes this is a official statement from the head off PR.

Awww, Taste I think he likes you

Just as much like a blueberry.

Heavies can't even go toe to toe with LAV's.

not sure if srs......

You an blow them up easily yes, but they have much higher damage than you (it's over 9000). When they run over you, do you get back up and blow them up? No your dead, even though you had over 1000 hp, more than a lot of LAV's do.

Sorry but I disagree, it's just way too easy to kill an LAV, even if it's trying to kill you with all it's might. It's easy enough to DODGE really, even as a fatty, it's too hard to do hard sharp turns with LAV.

If Heavies are to go toe to toe with vehicles, they should cost as much as vehicles. I dont think people want 700kisk -mil isk heavy suits, but tanks easily can cost that much.

Another tanker who wants an easy button are you scared of competition?



The point here is that the suits description says to be able to go toe toe with vehicles so if this is what they want it needs to be looked at.

A proto heavy suit that is properly fitted can cost you 500k ISK. Heavy suits are much easier to lose than a vehicle. Do you see the problem here?
