DUST Search - buff the heavy!

Max assault shields = (225*1.25) + 4(66) = 545
Max heavy shields = (320 *1.25) +3(66) = 598
Max AR damage/s = 34.1 * ((1.1^4)+0.15+0.1) * 750/60 = 730.6
Max heavy EHP = 598 + ((422*1.25)+2(112)) = 1350
Practical EHP = 598 + 527 =1125
Damage EHP = 400 + 527 = 927
Average reaction time = 0.74 seconds
Heavy run speed = 3.91 m/s
Lets say the average assault class uses two dam. mods.
DPS = 622.3
Lets say a heavy runs with a practical suit
EHP - DPS*reaction time = 1125- 622.3*0.74 = 664
Thus the average prototype heavy has ~ 1 second to fight back if not looking at an AR assault suit.
(Not to mention giant heavy heads, AR being hybrid damage, AR range >>HMG range, AR being far more precise, etc)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I play a logi, a heavy and an assault(three diff. characters).
Heavies are a joke.
I take on heavies toe-to-toe with a gek & standard assault suit, at close range.
Heavies are the most expensive class to play & require the most skill points
Heavies are suppose to be "tanks". Do some calculations and figure the max hp of all classes. Heavy works out to be ~ 300 more EHP.
Revamp please; before I quit this character xD

*Note I did not include HMG damage because I feel the damage & range is fine. Just something needs to be done about the durability of said "heavies"

Cost.... a decent fit of a lvl 3 suit is 50-100K, lvl4 and above is well over 100K, unsustainable. 2. Lack of CPU.....even with alot of skill points invested, lack of cpu stops top flight fits, 3. Lack of low slots......Heavies move slower than CCP getting a marketplace set up, low slots = protection or repairers, BADLY NEEDED 4. Lack of scaling.......Heavies don`t scale well, because the base damage of HMG`s is so low all damage multipliers (SP or MOD have much less effect than they do for other weapons.
