Thread: Are heavy weapons really worth it?
Are heavy weapons really worth the price we pay? I mean the damage looks nice on paper, but i get more damage out of flame single 2 than i do out of any of my heavy weapons. The accuracy absolutely is horrible on them, even with using /aim. The only nice thing about them is the area effect which half the time doesn't work anyway. Maybe that and the different types of damage each one can deal out. So let's hear it, is the heavy weapons really worth that 20k we pay for 27 or so shots?

Honestly, I don't believe so. I have an arsenal of all the Hw's available and have used in an extremely low percentage. As you have stated, They miss extremely more time than they hit and to be honest I'm at the point of just storing them in my storage house. I have shot at stationary targets at the ideal range just to have it pass by the target with no damage.
Secondly, with the melle damage now applied to all of our weapons and the inability to defend ourselves during the 9-12 sec. delee has me questions this profession in general. Who in their right mind would expect and close combat profession to sustain that much of a mellee penalty when we have to been in 16 min to use the weapons and the only weapon that doesn't have that close range is the Rocket Launcher.
But in answer to your question, no, at this point and with this "STEALTH NERF" I can't justify the high cost on any of Heavy Weapons including the FT and HAR.
