Fun Faq:

Max support skill AS VK1 shields; 545 - SS VK1 Shields; 285

Propaganda. At least our women are pretty and we have smallest... hit-boxes.

Depends. Scout allows skilled players to freely move around the map, and their survival is based on knowing how to use terrain to their advantage and aiming well. I can beat most ADV Assault suits easily right now in my A-series.

Dont see anything new. Scouts are meant for speed. Assaults are meant for assaults.

*Shrug*

Depends on the player.

I dont expect to see someone in a scout suite pick up an AR and try and go head on with someone in an assault. But I have seen many scouts move around and take points very fast.

To each their own. I will say on average the Assault suit is better for all around, but scout is damn good too for specific rolls. As it should be in my mind.

The only thing that makes the HMG look so powerful is the fact that so many players seem to think that headbutting the heavy is a brilliant idea.

I can only hope we get that "we'll look into Scouts soon" as it has been announced for Heavies. Scouts really need slight buff to things that make them distinct.

Worst of all is side movement/strifing. It feels like moving in mud, and we all concur on it.

Maybe we should launch campaign when the Devs come back; not sure if they are aware of the problem existence at all.

You all wait until signatures get fixed and cloaking comes around, then you'll all see. Peace to the scouts.

Tier II suits will fix this.

actually it is the other way around, the longer you fire the more accurate they are due to the gyros

Why didnt you do that last night instead of rage quitting after you got flux'd?

Multi-barrel cannon are built to allow a more sustained and higher rate of fire. A cannon with single barrel could match the rate of fire we have, so the only reason to have the multiple barrels seems to be to allow longer sustained fire.

The gyro system would suggest this is intent as well.

Modern rotary cannon can spin up vary quickly and are accurate. M61A2 has 1/4 sec spin up time. Gau-8 has accuracy to place 80% of burst in 7 1/2" circle at 50 yards. So realistically, the accuracy should be high enough to fire a long burst of head shots till overheat at max damage after .25sec. Heavy machine guns are also effective at much longer ranges then sniper rifles, why snipers used scoped hmg to snipe at extreme range till anti-material rifles were available.

Only cause of increasing inaccuracy in rotary fired sustained, is warping from heat. So the heat meter would have to cool before start of next burst for initial accuracy. the high mass of rotary cannon and high rate of fire make the recoil and muzzle rise less of a factor in accuracy.

In game, a hmg that spun up would conserve ammo while walking to target if, adjusting aim by tracer. And the effective range of burst would be longer, since the spread would be less initially. it would be harder for ar to pick off heavy at range.

If we had an option for a rotary with a spool up and constant accuracy as a variant, yeah more variety. The way mechanism of hmg is described, it would work the way it does in game.
