This thread is getting funny.
How many posts have we read about "hellfire is OP" "please nerf HF" "omfg hellfire spam so annoying"
And now talk about buffing HF 

  You'd probably have a riot on your hands at that point.
I only brought this up because that day (this is weeks after the first steam patch), I couldn't seem to hit anything with HF.  Usually I'm pretty ok with it, and it was pretty good against A class mechs on open maps.  With proper positioning, it wasn't too bad to take out even pretty dang good players due to seeker + hf.  
It just "feels" like HF doesn't track as well now and fires slower, but I guess it's just perception.
I don't understand why people call it a noob mech - those seekers do NOT always hit or track super well.  Heck, I still don't understand how they work!  I don't know if they lock on when they launch or if you have to continue tracking target with reticule.  You actually have to learn how to use this mech or you will not be getting any kills with it, and you will probably die a lot as everyone hates rocketeers and will go out of their way to shoot them down 
 
I still don't know how to fire the hellfires at close range either.  Do you try to curve them and by how much?  For long range it's easy, look straight up or to the side and fire away.
Also, with rocketeer, once you get up in their face they are super easy to kill.
