Cause your noob

When using an HMG? Of all the classes, they're the one with the lowest amount of shield and armor, and HMGs have the highest rate of fire. CCP, why the hell can't I take out a damn scout?

Also HMGs do less damage to shields.

if that's true it's sad most pro hmg users take down 400 shields in less then 2 seconds.

Clarification: "they do slightly less damage to shields than armor"

so its like 90% to shields and 110% to armor or something silly like that.

Scouts are a smaller target. Less of your shots are hitting.
Scouts move fast. They spend less time in your sights, meaning less of your shots are hitting.
Scouts have fast shield regen and a short delay. When they take cover, their shields usually recover before you can reacquire the target.
HMGs deal (slightly) reduced damage against shields. Until you're hitting armour, you're not at your best.

Combine all of the above and I'm sure you can see why a Scout is going to take more HMG fire than most.

bv any chance was this scout me when i rushed u over and over with nova knifes yesterday

Because you're functionally ret+árded and can't aim?

LOL Go away, nobody likes you.

Has that been tested and proven in-game? Has CCP put that in developer notes?

if he can take me out in close quarters when im 10 times faster then normal scout(advanced kinetic catalyser) then he's good

The kinetic catalyzer is the red vial yea? Isn that a 7% bonus to only sprint speed at advanced? They are useful but not that useful.

Now the green vial... at proto is 100% too stam and recharge... you can sprint forever! If I hav to flee I star running wnd don't stop till I'm damn suee the heavy can't follow me.

So is it game design when a scout's pixels are shifting, indicating to me either a connection on par with the time lag between Earth and Voyager 1, or terrible game design on CCP's part.

For anybody that plays EVE, aside from lasers, wouldn't a fast firing weapon theoretically be best to take down shields, apart from a weapon solely dedicated to that purpose (only similar thing on Dust are flux grenades)?

You do realise that you have to spin up the HMG to make it accurate right? Because if you're just spraying short bursts in the general direction of a scout running perpendicular to you, you're not going to hit a goddamn thing.

heres your answer i saw in loading screen. projectile weopens r good against armour but poor against shields while laser weapons are opposite

TBH spkr you either aim like a monkey or your connection with the battle servers are really bad.
