bumping this just bc sota and tiberius and lance and other heavies including myself have worked so hard to keep this afloat

heres to u, fatboys!!

I want to respec my sp where is the petition for that

I'm going to laugh so hard when everyone specs out of heavy, then they buff the crap out of the heavy.

"GIV 'NOTHER RESPACK CCP!1!1!! OR I KWIT 4EVAR!!11"!

Is it just me or does it seem like you have to have your target dead center of your reticule to get any hit detection now?

You actually have to go a little a head of them, just a tad, if they're moving. Otherwise if they're not mostly in your circle your going to miss a lot.

yeea. It's a dance with L1 cuz DOOM mode sucks. It slows down the turn speed too much, so it's a constant battle between ADS and not ADS. Annoying when there's multiple targets.

Doom mode is mostly un-usuable. CCP needs to buff turning speed asap.

Yea i don't get its purpose...is it for aesthetics? i would just rather have increased zoom over some novelty thing from another game.

Increasing turn speed would be nice since...well...we're using a CQQ weapon after all

The irony of using a CQC weapon and not being able to track target in my effective range...

I personally like the doom mode, if I have enough time to get into it before dying. I enjoyed it much more in the last build, the transition to ADS now is very clunky and pretty much makes it impossible to hit anything or even aim at anything for a full second, and by that time my shields are already gone. It pretty much completely disorients you while in transition.

I did some test for range a week ago and tested this too. I noticed that (when the enemy isn't moving at all), if you aim dead center, you will hit pretty good, even though you can notice some misses.

If the center of the reticle is just outside of the target, but he is still completely inside the reticle. You get way less hit. about 20-30%, but I really can't say, since it was a corp mate. I would need to try it with FF to get better results, like recording fire duration until death. All due to our great dispersion of bullet.

I thought this thread died, look like not .

I am the only one thinking they haven't fix much? HMG got a 5% buff to dmg and 5% reduction to dispersion. Something else is wrong. I guess it's range....oh yeah, that is the first thing we pointed out...

This I try to do as much as possible. I have noticed lately though that at really close range when firing from the hip it doesn't seem like I'm getting proper hit detection on enemies. It kinda seems like I have to have the center dot on the reticule dead center on the hostile to get any detection.

Heavies are great now, they can do some serious damg.

Now for the competitive drawbacks.

1.) good duvolle tac users will crumble your heavy suit like tin foil before
Your accuracy has the opportunity to hit these targets at range.
2.) veteran players will prevent you from making any push on them
By hiding behind something to cook a grenade, which if you try pushing will result n getting a grenade to the face to welcome your push.
3.) good players that know the heavies range well enough to never put themselves in troubles way,this comes back to heavies needing to camp capture points to force them to you while hoping to god that they don't get that right angle on you to push you out.
Or bank a nade of a wall at you.
4.) good SG users, but this is the way it should be.
5.) turn speed is still a vice, but manageable with good aiming at maxed sensitivity.

Other then these, heavies just need to pick their battles wisely and do need help against Top notch players.
I'm sure there are plenty more situations that heavies are bad at but I find these problems most often upon deaths.

I also notice that our HMG is now more................ accurate ? In fact, I noticed it ever since the start of Uprising. While our reticle is still a one big ass circle as ever, our bullets aren't spreading that much, especially if you hold the trigger for awhile. Our storm of bullet is deadly accurate. They go right at center of our screen except........we don't have a proper reticle there. This sound like a good thing but I can see a newbie struggling with it and The OPness in the hand of veteran. So I'm not quite sure if this is for the good of the weapon itself. I do prefer my bullets to spread out evenly all over my reticle to limited its usage over long range rather than an artificial range limit we currently have. But I will leave it to CCP decision.

This.

I liked it much better when damage started as soon as the reticule was over a target. The way it is now when I get swarmed by several clustered reds it doesn't seem as effective; I can't do what I like to call a "clean sweep" and push enemies back. I have to focus fire on only one enemy while getting shredded by 2 or 3 where before I could kind of sweep back and forth and take out two or three clustered together. It worked really well for holding back a crowd while defending an objective till my team showed up.

holy wall of text batman, it's still alive?!?!

The story of HMG never end, man.
