Since the alleged revision based on the February 19th 2018 Patch 1.2 Notes 

• Heavy - Supercharged Sentry - Reverted the heat per bullet tweak made for 1.1 patch, from 0.17 to 0.15

Times still remain the same since the developer wrongdoing on January 16th 2018.

Sentry - 13.25 seconds with a variance of .4 seconds

Mobile Sentry - 5.90 seconds with a variance of .2 seconds

Supercharged Sentry 3.30 seconds with a variance of .4 seconds

Explosive Sentry 22 seconds with a variance of .25 seconds

These times DO NOT include cool down or start parameters, only blast time, approximately. I have not explored these times in anything other than Arcade mode, but the same principle should apply, not withstanding getting shot by enemies, or explosives near position.


Heavy - Supercharged Sentry is still useless since both of these updates.

The suoercharged sentry was about the only thing that made the heavy class worthwhile! What good is a supression class that can't give suppressing fire?

[GoldMetatron333]

I'm having the same issue. Only getting about 2 seconds time in sentry mode.

It is just the three cards that were destroyed by the "developers" The weapons still work and so does the ion torpedo and turrent.  

[Billydoc1]

yes

Overnerfed as usual

Now is completely useless

I experience the same bug.

My epic SCS card is not working even renotely as it should. Only for 3 seconds, which is broken.

[mysweetescape13]

I don't know if it is a "bug" or a "aberration" due to the developers latest diligence of reducing player character's abilities. There were more reductions on troopers, heroes, and villians star card enhanced abilities and weapons than having new content.

Yeah buddies,it’s awesome to upgrade cards,spending lots of crafting parts & hours suddenly the developers change it all and everything we’ve done is worthless but yeah “they’re listening to us” the error 201 still there,lagging still there........maybe they just listen to the waining players,blurg does too much damage 😢,centry kills so much,they nerf even the vehicles,I got purple cards and now are completely worthless.It was good as it was before,they need to add more weapons,EE3,fix TL50 for the heavy cuz the secondary fire is awfull,more content like maps,faces like in the old one,spawn with your partner,I don’t think is that hard and fix the lagging and error 201 my gosh,how many credits I’ve lost cuz that damn thing..............👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Good job ppl u took the few good things the game got!!
Yeeeahh!!

@mysweetescape13Are you or anyone you know having an issue with the Defender and Bodyguard cards with the Heavy? I used to get battle points for damage while using "Defender card" and used to get points from "Bodyguard card" while I was in vehicles such as the MTT, AAT, Walkers etc. This was a good way to earn battle points but now I don't get any. Getting these battle points has been part of the game since Beta, why change now? UGH, this along with the duplicate issue might be the straw that breaks my back.

[mysweetescape13]

Yep I hear that! You know what, I had a really interesting thought. "We" are all on the wrong forum. You are probably thinking "what" but here does not do any "damage" to EA / Dice or Lucusfilm or help us at all.

We all need to revolt and place every concern on Reddit, continuously and ferociously. EA / Dice removed the micro-transactions in a day, a day before launching the product while it was fine. All because of people complaining on Reddit, and no where else at least as reported by several websites, social media outlets etc.

Just a thought.
