Between Weaponry, SS, damage and range nerf, combined with the sluggishness of the controls a lot of us are experiencing, the HMG is not in a good spot, which as our biggest and most used weapon puts the Heavy class in a bad spot. Please just revert the damage/range nerf and then leave us alone.

Range of a assault rifle = 300-400 meters. That's not true for assault rifles. Effective range for an M-16 A2 is 550 yards so approximately 503 meters. Farthest I ever had to put rounds on a target in boot camp was 500 yards (USMC) and that's on a target that is human sized. Max effective range against a vehicle is 800 yards or about 731 1/2 meters.

Personally I vote for reverting the changes to HMG (not the ss or weaponry ** just that extra damage/range nerf) then, slowly**, tweaking slightly until in a good spot that the community and devs can agree on.

CCP takes out the 'Heavy + HMG = I win button' and here comes a river of tears. It's funny to think that all those ppl that thought they had gun skills now realize that they did not have anything that CCP did not spoon feed them. In what way shape or form did having a slow moving meat shield with a decent weapon (outranged by most) take less skill to use successfully than the COD/Halo kids and their AR? The TAR has that nice built in scope for accurate shots from farther range than most weapons or the regular old AR that can put out more damage in 60 rounds than a Heavy can in 425. Keep kidding yourself that AR are anything but easy mode.
