hello fellow terran!
the Heavy Assault class is the front line infantry class, running across fields with explosions all around, or mowing up dem kills in close quarters combat with the heavy machine gun. so you are going to have to man up and face the explosions as you run proudly into battle for glorious domination!
in all seriousness, i have only really have experience with the TR's HA stock weapon, the T9 CARV, but that is an absolutely excellent weapon, so i stick with it. that being said, i have no experience with the MSW-R, however i run on my CARV a 4x red dot sight, a laser sight and (because the flash is HUGE for me) a flash suppressor. however, the CARV, and of course all other HA weps, are excellent for mowing down groups of people quickly once you get the jump on them.
another weapon i recommend would be the mini chain gun, some say it is crap, but i beg to differ, due to its effectiveness. it is a fantastic area denial/suppression weapon, and is actually quite effective at range some times. i recommend seeing Wrel's video review on the mini-chain gun to see what i mean.
but anyway, HA weapons are fantastic air denial weapons as well, so use em to scare them off if you have nothing else better to do.
onto certs:
cert into Flak armour if you run into allot of explosions (significantly reduces damage of indirect explosions)
cert into nano-weave if you run into lots of people (gives you moar of dat green health)
cert into the stock nanite-mesh shield if you find yourself running into allot of explosions and bullets (however you could just leave it as your main ability, as it is useful for mowing down infantry as well like stated below)
cert into the adrenaline nanite-mesh shield if you find yourself going on long killstreaks of mowing down infantry (it refills your shield generator a certain amount after you get a kill)
i would put all of them into certain loadouts if you wish. i run the standard grenades and i also run medkit, but it might also be a good idea to get the restoration kit for the HA if you find yourself getting shot while you have zero shields and are healing yourself with the kit, it restores your health if you get shot again over 6 seconds.
as for the resist shield, i haven't tried it (the description of what it does is really not explained well, i might need to look into it a bit)
i haven't tried the adrenaline shield yet, but i know what it does and i find it may be useful to me, if you end up mowing down lots of guys. but maybe the adrenaline shield would be best for people more experienced with the HA, and can mow down people effectively.
well, there you go. good luck out there, fellow soldier, that is the most i can give you about HA feedback from the top of my head.
edit: read KesTro's comment a bit, and i learnt stuff about the resist shields and stuff. thanks, i learnt something today
