Please inform me how this makes you an expert and why current tactics shouldnt work, isn't everyone thats playing not using human tactics?

So basically what you guys are saying, the Heavy needs to be The Better Assault +1 ?

heavies aren't over powered, but they are too fast. their turn speed is totally unacceptable.

At no point have I said I'm an expert. But having a basic knowledge of epochs in battlefield history would show that use of a tactic that was valid at the time against previous weapons, when used against a newly introduced weapon system or just a basic mechanic, alot of the time resulted in the deaths of those using those tactics. So, using present, 21st century, military weapons doctrine as an example of how weapons from 20,000 years in the future should be dealt with, is massively flawed, as I pointed out. Fair enough, I pointed it out while laughing at you, but it's still valid.

If you have an interest in this kind of stuff then you should look into the effect of the following things that changed combat. Any of the metal changes and smith evolutions. Phalanxes and heavy spears. Saddle stirrups and mounted combat. Coordinated longbows against mounted plate cavalry. Low level training for crossbows against plate armour. The last one is funny as hell for how the church responded to it. Cannon against fortifications. Muskets. Rifled barrels. Repeating firearms. The Lee Enfield is an excellent example of the last. One of the biggest, machineguns. The Battle of the Somme being one to be looked into for the machinegun and the tank. And of course, nuclear bombs. Luckely, the tactics for the last one have just consisted of insults and posturing without any actual battlefield use beyond WW2.

WHAT??? HAHAHAHA

Are you saying the PS3 is limiting the range on guns due to its lack of power???

Please tell me I mistook your definition of hardware.

THAT.
plus vk.1 needs to come down in price

I hear what everyone has to say, but until you're a heavy your opinion, or "advice" on the matter means next to nothing.

All you do is troll heavy threads cuz I think somewhere down the line an HMG molested you. You still butthurt?

nice to see someone revived this.

what makes you think they're too fast? Even on max sensitivity I can't turn around quick enough sometimes.

I heard Mouse + Keyboard affects this in the sense that it increases movement speed. Maybe the heavy you saw was using m+kb.

Oh please. I have a feeling you made this thread to start a flame war anyways. If they were so under powered I'd run up on them any chance I get with my superior AR that is so op. But no, I keep them at a distance and usually more than one person is shooting them.

I think the real issue is hit detection actually.

im another heavy that has noticed that as u go up in suit tier, the performance doesnt meet up to expectations

this is the first ive heard about how many slots all the other suits have tho, and thats mind boggling

the heavy should OWN in cqc without any lip wutsoever, esp from trolls like crimson moon (who, btw, tucks tails and runs like a little girl when he comes face to face with me. his shield was gone and armor low and he knew, he KNEW he was gonna die......*sigh* but alas, it wasnt meant to b)

as far as range goes....honestly, the HMG loses accuracy at range. 1 in 10 rounds hits the target at say, 40-50 meters (thats a WILD guess)
and only 5 or 6 hit in cqc. so i also agree with OP (<3 lance ;) ) that the spread should b tighter.....that in itself would affect the range anyway

turn speed is hideous........being slow moving is enough. we cant strafe for ****, so let us have the improved turn speed.

lower the cost of the proto suits and buff them (and add a few losts to b on par with the other suits in this game)
