Yes a heavy is proclaimed by CCP to be a "walking tank" if you will, but honestly being an assault guy myself I do have a sense that heavies have some kind of reduction when AR's are fired upon them. I can take down a assault guy with close to 650 total HP in one clip (before reset of course), but even before reset I could unload a duvolle into a heavy with similar amounts of HP and it would just about take a clip and a half to finish that sucker off and my proficiency was at level 5! Granted about 90% of the time I come across a heavy we happen to go toe to toe so when hip firing; realistically probably about 'maybe' 80% of the bullets make contact but that math alone says it should drop them but it doesn't seem to work that way unfortunately. Nonetheless you can't be infantry and not take shots from an AR, we would transition this thread into assault classes or scout classes etc complaining about how a assault rifle doesn't kill a heavy.

You'll never find a heavy with 650 hp. They always have much more and most good heavies will have around 1000 ehp

They always have much more and most good heavies will have around 1000 ehp Hence the 'simllar' portion, I don't know first hand cause I am not a heavy by all means, but I know a lot of heavies that don't even put shield extenders on or armor plating cause they like to move quicker, which leaves them around 800? If I am not mistaken... could be wrong and by all means correct me if I am. But not sure what it is, but the amount of a damage a bullet does to a heavy I just don't think is comparable to other classes, realistically you should be able to drop a heavy (with 800 hp) in about .... we will say 30 shots with at least 31 damage a bullet from an AR, some reason that is almost never the case (sad)
