You wouldn't think that this needs explaining but:
Vs. heavy long to mid rang: laser rifle any suit (1 man)
Vs. heavy mid to close rang: assault rifle any suit (2 or more men)
Vs. heavy close range: shotgun scout suit (1 man - learn to kite use environment/obstacles to your advantage)
So the question is: why are you trying to take down heavys, by your self, with an AR/assault suit?
Think of the reality of the situation. He's got four times the fire power that you have and probably two or more times the hit points. Ponder that for a minute, then during your next solo encounter, proceed to run away as fast as you can.
Class dismissed. |

Hay, I never said that you would make it, but it looks like you need lesson number 2:
1. If you round a corner and there is a heavy stairing you in the face (you obviously weren't paying attention to your radar or onscreen enemy indicator because heavys show up quite nicely on both) you're dog meat pal, just accept it.
2. At mid range I have never had a problem getting away from a lone heavy in an assault suit, so I'm not following you here at all. Here are the the speed stats:
Assault type-1 speed: 5.0/7.0 mps
Heavy type-2 (the fast one) speed: 3.9/5.5 mps
Now thats quite a huge difference. You're probably just having some kind of technical issues (operator error most likely)
Close range: logi/assault = SOL
Mid range: logi = SOL, assault = very good chance.
What you need to do is pay more attention to your radar and learn to anticipate/look before you leap. I can tell you I am not at all experiencing the problems you are describing, so I have no choice but to chalk it up to operator error. |

^^^ Ya, the spread is far to wide to do any real damage at mid range, and death (or, most of the time, even armor loss) can be easily avoided by simple cover and evasion tactics. |
