I'm not exactly sure what you did, but the HMG is terrible to use atm.
Seems you increased strafing speed, but left the HMG's slow turning, and now it feels like theres a short lag when changing directions while turning.
The dispersion seems worse then ever now as well.
If anyone strafes, even with the center of my crosshair directly on them, a large portion of my bullets aren't hitting. I'm not sure if its hit detection, or dispersion...but its a problem.
I've been using the HMG since i started in open beta, and never have i had issues like i do now...even with the insane range nerf. |

It does feel weird. Something has been niggling me. That may be it. |

I think it's a little too dispersed too.
And the new range is horrible, it deals less damage than it should do in it's "effective" range. And worse still its damage at absolute.
It feels like it is firing bottle caps that just go nowhere in terms of effective range (i.e. the bullet disappears but damage(not enough) is still being done.)
Consider making it like the HVAP Wraith from R2 - i.e. damage is only reduced once enemy gun become indistinguishable without any zoom. Currently is does less damage than an AR at average range.

Hard core heavy hear, the HMG is broke. Lag plus poor dispersion makes the bullets fly everywhere. I have to be on top of people to do any damage. I am very close to my Logi proto then to the dust bin it will go. MCC wants everyone to be assault or logi. The rest of us do not matter. Prove it MCC I am calling you out on this. |

It has been horrible since it got the Nerf Range Hammer. We simply learned to adjust to it only working in CQC.
My snarky guess is that CCP/Shanghai noticed we had adapted so they found something else to balance (aka Nerf). Otherwise we would keep playing heavies. I cannot shoot across from Charlie roof top to Delta roof on Line Harvest. Sorry, but that is just plain wrong. Not even an Assault HMG can cross that short distance. Admittedly I have yet to double check it with 1.2 but my faith that it will still be wrong is still very strong.

Why, oh why did I spec into a heavy? And why do I think that throwing SP at my build will help? |

Amen it needs something a range buff or a damage buff either way make it truly cqc effective or LMG like. |
