Now hit box is kind of messed up so its really hard to know for sure... but i sure do get the feeling that i need to unload almost a full clip at a distance when they only need to get a few hits in, headshot helps ofc but not enough, but as i said hard to tell for sure since hitbox is messed (i see i hit them but doesnt do any dmg)
Now if heavies were restricted to heavy weapons i could agree of them being super-duperkilla machines in close range (HMG)...like the shotgun. but they are too efficient at a good distance compared to the maps we are playing at.
A standard or militia assault rifle can deal 775 damage in only 2 seconds. 750 RPM / 60 (60 secs per minute) = 12.5 RPS X 31 damage = 387.5 per seconds. 387.5 X 2 = 775 damage in 2 seconds.
Don't underestimate how much damage you can deal in a very short amount of time if you actually land your hits, this is amplified if you land headshots.
Before calling for something to be nerfed, you should always always always use it yourself to understand the costs and drawbacks.
Now do the same math but the other way around, a heavy with a AR would win that battle 9 out of 10 times since he can kill the assault guy in 0.5sec.... and i need 2sec... no matter how much i jump or strafe .
Now im not calling for a heavy suit nerf i like it that theres a "tankish" kind of suit, but however if they added either ammo or a weapon thats more effective against armor then shields it would counter that fact.
As it is now i just avoid certain areas of the map cause i know there is a heavy dude there, cause up close im screwed. Wich means they can "guard" all of the objectives very effectivly on some maps.
To say its "balanced" as it is now is just being ignorant, but gimme a counter and ill adapt.
If you want we could test this as well... i use a heavy suit with an AR and you use a assault suit with an AR, lets stay at a distance and have some things to take cover behind so you can "use your speed to your advantage" and lets see who will stand as the winner.
And lately ive even started to see snipers in heavy suit, that says alot doesnt it?
