Remove Nanoweave as an option for HA

they already have a shield and the most firepower of infantry why do they need to be the most tankiest plus having a shield?

Everything about the HA is just wrong currently. There will probably be a change sometime soon. Don't expect to see their nanoweave disappear though.

either that or a nerf to the shield its beyond ridiculous right now , it is really hard to beat them even if you have the upper hand they just pop their shield turn back and blast you with their lmg

A Medic with Nanoweave 5 has just as much HP as a HA with Nanoweave 5. HA are not the tankiest plus having a shield but the ones who have a shield on top of what everyone else could have. Also, Nanoweave isn't that big of a deal and most people use Flakarmor nowadays anyways.

People use nano on their HA? When im playing my HA im usually firing at tanks and aircraft.

But admittedly they are heavy assault and should be hard for other classes to beat in single combat. I think they mainly need a change to their versatility - vehicle busting or infantry fighting. None of this rocket launchers and machine guns nonsense they currently have. It's one or the other.

Making you a prime target for snipers. Nanoweave protects you from snipers.

thats the problem they counter everything other than engis who take the risk of exposing themselves to sniper fire they just pull out their rocket launcher and spam it to kill vehicles

While you are at it devs remove LAs jetpack, remove Infiltrators cloak, remove Medics healing ability and remove Engis repair tool.

at least get good at sarcasm

Come on, admit it. Heavy assaults are way unbalanced as they currently are.

Why?

Max Nanowerave adds a grand total of 125 health. That's less then 1 bullets worth of damage.

"Learn to play"

i should say the same to the masses of HA

Unbalanced with respect to what? LA, Eng. Medic? Of course they are; if you want to beat an HA then roll an HA or Max! HA are not supposed to be balanced against LA's etc.

Because they have two advantages where every other class only has one. Their shields and their rocket launchers. Engineers can destroy tanks with AV turrets but are sitting ducks when they do it, and lack survivability should they be attacked. Medics have their healing, light assaults have jetpacks and infiltrators have cloak.

No other class should be able to 1v1 a heavy. That is the point of the HA, they are the backbone of every faction.

I don't expect an engineer to be able to kill a HA, but I do expect a HA to sacrifice one advantage to keep another.

Why?

I've already explained why.
