Heavy Discussion

[Necrocat219]

I think that it would be good to get a feel for exactly how the heavy gets used because it's the only unit that I don't do much maths for, calculating wits and such, what I DO know is these are the benefits of the Heavy:

-Gives your opponent least wit-for-kill value
-Good to spawn when you are missing your medic
-Good to spawn vs 3hp Soldiers
-Good to get large damage and bulk close to your spawn in a pinch
-Generated wit advantage if you use it as a threat vs units slightly too far for a sniper to be threatening

I would like some ideas for thoughts and such? I've not seen much discussion Heavy-wise and some players still see Heavies as unviable, whilst I use them often.
