Hawk Steel1 The Walking Targets 0	Posted - 2013.04.11 04:49:00 - [1] - Quote I'm pretty sure Heavy Machine Gun refers to its weight not its ammunition. Can't see any good reason why an assault rifle is more powerful,even at close range. I should know, i've seen Predator 10 times.

SoTa PoP Internal Error. Negative-Feedback 1995	Posted - 2013.04.11 05:20:00 - [6] - Quote Heavies typically when starting out do better with double stack damage mods from Weaponry V and getting the Type-Suit and 25% reduction to when your shields return. Nothing else is really needed - or at least I never needed anything else.

Style: [F] No effort has been made to make the troll stand out above the rest. Missing the Humor score which was at least a C. In the first sentence the author stated factually what an HMG is weight wise while peddling to the FPS player mentality of what "heavy firepower" is.
OryanRyan Sebiestor Field Sappers Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2013.04.11 05:29:00 - [8] - Quote Hi. My main is a forge gunner, and I often HMG . Mods help, but can be costly. I find a single enhanced damage mod is sufficient.( with tier 5 weaponry) A few things to consider... Heavy weapon sharpshooter, tier2 is almost mandatory if you want a decent range. Learn to use your L1 aim more, this cuts down on spray inaccuracies.( tap it, or pulse it, Holding it down will slow turning radius dramatically). Plug in a mouse and set the move rate slow, and have it at the ready. You don't use it half the time, but sometimes it's invaluable for ranged accuracy. I wish I had more to give you, but there isn't really much more to give.

Nothing else is really needed - or at least I never needed anything else. Definite improvement with stacked mods. Thanks for the good advice mate. This is my first attempt at a FPS so advice like this is much appreciated.

This is my first attempt at a FPS so advice like this is much appreciated. I noticed I didn't finish saying Type-II suit. Go shield heavy - makes you less reliant on the team to heal you and shields are a pain for several weapons. There's a training section on the forums you can ask to get more detailed help.

Exmaple Core SyNergy Gaming EoN. 160	Posted - 2013.04.11 06:21:00 - [13] - Quote Their more powerfull per bullet but overall the hmg is right there with shotguns at point blank
Garrett Blacknova Codex Troopers 2443	Posted - 2013.04.11 08:12:00 - [14] - Quote Another point to keep in mind is that HMGs are at their "heaviest" in terms of firepower in the range from about 5m to 20+ (depending on Sharpshooter level). If your friendly neighbourhood Shotgun Scout gets in close enough, you might have trouble keeping bullets on the target, meaning they don't take damage and you do. Some good Assault and Logi players can do this too. If your local red dot has an AR, they can hit you from outside your weapon's effective range. You can deal more damage - IF you can hit. But there are ranges at which you CAN'T hit, and that's a problem for you. Try to force enemies to come to you, it makes a HUGE difference if you can control the range at which you fight.
