DUST Search - My thoughts on Health : Size ratio

I often find that against decent enemies, you die faster in a heavy suit than anything else. A decent heavy has about 930HP in total.

Correct me if any of my maths is wrong :P
I assume weaponry lv 5 and max shield/armour skills on both cases

Best case scenario:

Entry level assault rifle does 426.25 DPS. If he hits every shot on the heavy it will take 2.18 seconds to drop him. I'm gonna assume he hits 70% off his shots so it takes 3.12s to kill the heavy.

Worst case scenario(ish):
Duvolle with ar proficiency 5 and a 10% wep upgrade. This does 575dps =O. it will take 1.6 seconds to kill him if you don't miss, 2.31 if you hit 70%.

Now for assault, I don't know about you, but I'm not the greatest shot, I reckon I only hit 50% on them, if that.

Lets call the assaults health base 412.5, with at least 1 Proto shield extender that's gonna be 479hp.

Best case:
It takes 2.32s, missing 50% of shots.

Worst case:
It takes 1.7s.

I don't know whether I'm being generous or not with the 50% hit rate, but with entry level guns vs maxed suits the heavy lives about 34% longer than an assault in a statistical fight. With maxed guns he lives 35.8% longer.

I personally think the heavy needs an edge. I haven't even mentioned head shots, it's a lot easier to burst a heavies brain than an assault...

Thoughts? Criticisms? (Hopefully not corrections :P)

An average player's accuracy in an FPS is probably in the realm of 20%, if not lower. Doesn't change the % difference between your best/worst case examples, but you don't have heavies dying in 2 seconds.

I think average accuracy on dust should be a bit higher than on other fps's like Call of duty simply because targets are more diverse, guns more accurate, and less spray and pray. (For most weps anyway)
