Idea for new class starting at br4

Suggestions
1

I’ve made a comment regarding this topic. Introducing the Automatic riflemen class. The class that will be allowed to carry br4 versions of light machine guns with a low capacity.

  • America: The Bar A2 at br4 for this class

  • Russia: Hopper fed DP at br4

  • Germany: FN 1930 in the TT exclusive to this class

  • Japan: type 96 exclusive to this soldier class

Can be obtained by a reintroduced veteran upgrade in the riflemen squad trees.

Most squads can only have one, however rifle squads could have 3 but the third one comes at the cost of a specialist slot (rather sacrifice the second engineer or what not)

Not a bad suggestion, however 99.99995% of our suggestions are DOA the moment you click the button at the bottom to submit your post. :joy:

Yeah I’ve had a few posts in the past that just got blew off and had no commentary on this one. Hopefully this is one that receives some feedback and maybe even forwarded to the devs as a concept

I have suggestion after suggestion, but the only suggestion that was ever implemented was dropping the rider class to level one. I don’t know if it was my suggestion, someone else’s or something DF just did on their own, but happy they did it as I was never going to use it for higher levels, especially when you could use an APC. However, I think they get so many suggestions that unless a large sector of the forum base chimes in, and people keep requesting that they blow it off. It took a couple years of people continously bitching about th e soft rule for them to finally abandon it. I got to the point if I wanted to play level three Allies that if I saw the Japanese as my next foe, I just deserted because it was going to be level five Japanese. Finally, DF shit canned it and I can play level three Allies again.

Why not change the machine gunner squad similar to the stormtrooper squad instead of such a “crutch”? The stormtrooper squad can have four soldiers with a submachine gun and one machine gunner.
We can make all machine gun squads have the ability to have four machine gunners and one soldier with a submachine gun. This would even reduce the crushing difference between the machine gunner squad from the research tree and premium squads, because now regular squads have only three machine gunners, while premium versions have five at once.

I apologize if my English is inaccurate, I use Google Translate.
