Anyone else given it a go? Feels much more effective now, verging on overpowered. I played a few payload maps today, and with 3+ heavies on our team powering the cart, and the reduced frequency of crit rockets/pipebombs we were unstoppable.

Sasha is more usable at medium-short range, before it was drastically not slowing down anything because it just couldn't hit anything.
The normal gun is slightly better (not overpowered as far as I've seen, 3 heavies on a payload cart is powerful - but a sniper or ubered pyro can stop them dead), but the fixes to the slowdown for Sascha makes it more even.

Just was on the receiving side yesterday for the first time since the change and 'tasha's effect seemed much stronger. Might be a tad too strong, we will see about that.
Who knows, perhaps it's just the proper strength after the scout update :-)

Wasn't sure where to post this, so chose this thread. As most probably know I don't really play Heavy (it's my least played class) but today figured I'd give it a bash for a while. Found out I'm not to bad at it   It seems I have a talent for hopping round corners to give a face-full of minigun  I believe I gave Chaos a bit of a beating too  |

I did give it a good go!
I loved it! Its all I can do now to not join if Junta is on (unless I can work my way onto his team)
He still needs a good medic with him though (so BigJ is gonna shine!!!)
I think the heavy is gonna be the new demo

Glad you're all enjoying heavy. He's good fun with the right help... Now Jordan.. watch out for those bastard snipers PS. If you're being attacked by Natascha NEVER JUMP - you're very imobile if you do and you'll waste time being stuck in the air rather than spending the time running away. When ignoring sniper and spy, demo men and soldiers are your biggest enemies - pipe bombs especially.. stickies are easier to deal with now. |

Natashas definitly the way to go now. I was playing lots of heavy last night, I came first on Badwater by nearly 20 points, probably soley due to sitting on the cart and killing everyone that showed their head.
Being on the receiving end of the slowdown is pretty disconcerting.

You don't want Natascha for sentries or other heavies with Sasha mind  |

I FUCKING HATE NATASHA. Seriously, before now I used to eat Nat heavies as the slowdown didn't really impact you when you only caught a stray bullet, but now if I even take one bullet I'm pretty much fucked. Honestly, I think since the buff I haven't taken down a nat heavy as scout; I just have no idea how to attack them and have been treating them like sentry guns (ie AVOID!). Hopefully a nice Sandman shot to the face will sort them out when the update comes So from my point of view - NERFNATPLSVALVe! |

You did beat me a lot!

but I do have to agree that sasha is better vs other heavies because of the damage
