Lolz, the assault HMG does less damage than the regular HMG. If you truly believe that the assault HMG is better than the AR at 75 meters I don't know what to say.
Besides that, I think the HMG does very little damage outside it's optimal range. |

Besides that, I think the HMG does very little damage outside it's optimal range. 28000 DPM with the assault HMG 23250 DPM with the basic AR It's math, genius. Just because the assault HMG does less than the basic HMG doesn't mean the assault HMG does less than the AR.
I said at 75 meters genius. The assault HMG does less damage at 75 meters than the AR. The regular HMG does less damage at 50 meters than the AR.
At least that's my experience using the regular HMG. |

EDIT: And the optimal range is about 75 meters with the assault HMG, as I posted above. AR is at 78.
Lol what?

Optimal range for the assault HMG is 1-49 meters. |

Yes it is, he updated it with Chromosome. With pistols at least, don't even think they changed the range on any of the HMG since that thread.
If you really believe the optimal range on the assault HMG is 75 meters, and the max range is beyond that, you're mistaken.
Edit: I just got confirmation from the thread author that the numbers are fully updated as far as he knows. |

I hate that thing. The damage is laughable, and by the time you do enough damage you tend to be getting focused down and dieing. The range is NOT worth it, at all, as far as I'm concerned.
HMGs could use a tiny pull back on the range, as well as a tiny increase to heat build up (but not the burst, that thing heats up way too fast as is)
That's my experience with the assault as well. The slightly more range is not worth it because you're screwed in short range with it.
About the range decrease. I think the range is fine at the moment. Once we get bigger maps it won't be such a big issue as it is now with the tiny maps.
I somewhat agree with you about the heat build up. Currently it overheats just before you've used 60% of the clip. I wouldn't mind that being moved to around 50%.

How is this thread still alive?
Leukoplast for the love of god, get good.
Anybody that says the HMG is godly at range PLEASE use it for a while, and them come back here and tell us about all the times you were outsniping an AR.
As Taste said, if you're standing on the table top in Line Harvest you can pretty much only kill someone standing right below you.
Edit: I would also love to see the statistics on the "topping the leaderboards" thing. From my experience on the EU servers, there's maybe five really good heavies and they don't even top the leaderboards all the time. |
