So tonight during an FW match I rounded a corner and ran head on into a heavy. My blood ran cold as I accepted my fate; I was only about 2ft in front of him and I knew his HMG would tear me to shreds.

That guy was either already damaged or a terrible player. Im a heavy so i would know.

Full shield and armor on him - I watched his bars deplete as I mag dumped the Toxin into his chest.

Got in a knife fight with 2 heavies... killed one ran away... came back OHK the other and then proceeded to hunt the first one as he spawned in with gastuns and was being an overall douche.

Heavies were 1v1able in chromosome but now they are a an easy source of points.

Then he was either bad or got messed up by the aiming system we currently have

O.o are you sure that it was a full blown heavy? Or that a blue berry didn't help you out in taking him out? Or a sniper for that matter? CCP just gave our hmg's a buff the other day and we are doing awesome. I went 45/8 and 40/5 yesterday so im having a little difficulty in believing this. I don't doubt that you didn't kill him but there has to be something else for this to happen.

Also think about it your mini assault suit has 650 hp the heavy probably had about 800-900 hp. Shields are an hmg's annoyance.

You where probably flanking him fast enough that he couldn't track you with his HMG adequately. there is this little area where a HMG works. to far away and the hmg barely does any damage, but if your in his face like literally in his face he cant track you when you circle him because your bouncing around fast enough that he kind of has to wave his hmg all over the place just to hit you. this ones dangerous though because to get in his face you have to cross that are where he will destroy you if he sees you before you could get there.

He was probably surprised when you turned that corner and started waving his hmg around trying to hit you.

Heavies should have never been 1v1 unless you could out maneuver them as a scout. It should take at least 2 people with militia gear to take one out, 3 if he's using ADV gear.
AR cryhards need to stop QQing about something that's supposed to be their effective counter.

So tonight during an FW match I rounded a corner and ran head on into a heavy. My blood ran cold as I accepted my fate; I was only about 2ft in front of him and I knew his HMG would tear me to shreds. Now I use the Amarr Asault mk.0 with 400 armor and 250 shield but still figured my death would be quick. In desperation I switched from my ELM-7 to my Toxin SMG and unloaded into this heavy.

I killed him with only my shields depleted and 20 points taken out of my armor (which my repairer was already starting to rep).

I felt AWFUL.

This was a full blown heavy with HMG two feet in front of my face unloading his HMG into me and I simply took him out with the Toxin. IDK what you did CCP but I used to fear heavies, now I know to simply rush them. I don't play heavies at all, but after my encounter tonight I see that the HMG needs some love.

That or the wierd aiming we have now messed him up

1) I was in Amarr Assault using armor plates bumping my HP up to 400 and I had a shield extender (along with my shields skills) so my shield was at 250...idk where you got mini and those numbers.

Whoops sorry man i saw assault mk.0 and thought you ment mini. I thought amarr assault suits where ak.0's though?

Well i don't know how he went down like that then. weird.

I made a heavy with an alt that had about 1.2 million SP.

Most kills I have got so far in this build LOL

Went 16 - 2

Not great at all I guess but for me it was the best I have did so far with the new system.

/shrug

I too run heavy and have had several similar experiences such as that, along with getting torn to shreds from longer ranges as well.
lvl5 gun skills and about 1k hp on my suit.

Now, I'm not the best player out there, but I'm certainly not the worst either and I've been beaten more often than not in situations where I think I should have won the battle.

I dont know if you are referring to me as a AR cryhard.... lol
