I dont see a problem with heavies and their longevity. We do die, and we will die even more often as players get their better dropsuits and modules, since heavies have worst adv/proto dropsuits.

As for taking more damage from behind, if that should be implemented, then it should be for all.

out of curiosity does every one here understand that ARs suck against armor?? an almost 600DPS(AR) weapon will be beat out by a 450dps(im not telling) weapon every time in armor.

I have to call bullshit, I've been killed from 100m by GEKs from the front. I find your claim impossible to believe. I'm always out ranged and sent running by ARs, they chew through my suit like paper.

Assault players want to 1v1 everything in this game. Tanks included.

I actually like this idea!

I think the issue atm is that ppl running militia gear feel underpowered when facing a heavy with higher tech gear, and more sp invested in passive armor/shield/dmg skills. This game is based in the EVE universe, a ruthless place where better gear and skills DO count for something. A millitia rifle SHOULD take more than a clip to kill a prototype heavy dropsuit, with enhancers and passives.

lol raise the dmg bonus on the biggest head of all the dropsuits...

Honestly, do you people understand what you're saying? You're saying a heavy's big head is easy enough to hit, but you want to ADD dmg to it...SMFH.

Add headshot dmg to every dropsuit if that's the case.

This topic has been discussed to death. The only reasonable nerf I've seen is a nerf to HMG range and heat buildup speed. Every other nerf I've read on this forum is garbage.

Just leave the suit alone.

All suits get a dmg bonus to the head. I only suggested that if you were going to add bonus dmg to heavys, it would be a extra 1-3 percent over the other suits.

Because you know, heavy heads are wayyyy bigger then all other heads and wayyyy easier to shoot.

My heavy alt has a 3.96 K/D, My Main assault Alt has a 2.79 K/D. Take from this what you will.

A heavy has to have a KDR above 2 or 3 or they are failing in their role. All we do is kill people and enemy armor. If you reduce our ability to do so, then that role might as well not exist. Maybe assault is OP.

I'm not saying its a good idea, just that if you were going to add bonus dmg to heavys and the like(as the OP suggested) then it should be to the already imposed weakspot instead of adding a whole new one that will just force heavys to sit in corners.

I really don't have a problem with heavys, they are hard to kill but that really is the point of a heavy.

i know theres been more heavys then normal, but i get pissed at the GEK cus it kills heavys fast. and im no complain ass cus i used the heavy in close beata when the assault class was the best.

Assault class is STILL the best

Mate, Assault is not the best.

Can an Assault Rep you, give you ammo and pick you up? No!
Can an Assault sprint stupidly fast and far with the highest top speed? No!

Not the best.

Except... why would their heads take more damage? Or better yet, why would your head take more damage? You do realize that it's the same character regardless of suit right? Your head didn't get any bigger when you put on a heavy suit, it's just more padded up. If anything, heavies should take the least amount of damage from head shots, not more, unless their helmets are made of paper or something.

actually not true my friend, these bodies are artificially made to suit certain roles, I am quite sure they have different clone types for each suit. (I believe its actually alluded to in eve or dust lore some where)

1. Yes you can put reppers and Nano on all but heavies.
2. Yes with proper skills and mods

Not everyone runs locus or focus nades, when approaching from the heavy from the back it still takes a good 2/3's of my clip to put him down when shooting at the head and this is with 2 enhanced damage mods on a GEK mind you, and that's if he doesn't turn around and kill me first.

Oh cool, so now I have zero chance at defending my self against smarter players AND people who just happen to spawn behind me. Oh boy, even better, Random Sniper in the hills will be able to drop me with one lucky shot now when I'm crossing the road.
