Soldiers and equipment - secondary weapon slots

  1. Make all the faction rifles, both bolt-action and semi-auto (not sniper rifles), available as secondary weapon slot choices for assaulter class too, or it is too limitating to be able to use the double barrel or the default bolt-action only.

  2. Make available for radio operators to access to sniper rifles, double barrels and SMGs as secondary weapon slot, or it is pointless to unlock the secondary weapon slot for them, since it is useless to have the same kind of weapon for each slots.

Thanks for your attention :slight_smile:

That would just make assaulters the do all. This isnt CoD, soldiers carried one weapon or had a heavy weapon with a carbine like the mortar class and some had a side arm. Radio operators should probably just have the radio as the secondary just like the engineers hammer

Besides a bazooka or mortar very few would carry another weapon

So basically remove soldier clases and let us do whatever we want?
Sorry but no. Those limits have reasons - balance.

Dude, then remove the possibility to chose a secondary slot for radio operators then, nothing to do with CoD, jees

What I said was simple: radio operators can take a second weapon slot? Cool, let them at least take a gun which isn’t the same exact copy of the first weapon.

Assaulters can equip rifles as secondary? Cool, let them at least equip more than the default bolt action, BUT NOT SNIPER RIFLES.

SNIPER RIFLES FOR SNIPER ONLY.

I didn’t even mention MGs since these are for MG soldiers only and it should remain like this.

And as if you read my response i said put the radio in the secondary slot just like the hammer for engineers because you are right, it is a pointless feature which would then let the radio operator take more ammo and grenades

The possibility to equip a secondary weapon through skill advancement it is already in the game, what I’m saying is that it can be made actually useful.

Even for tankers, why should they be able to take a secondary, when both weapon slots can only equip SMGs??

Yeah Indeed, the radio should be in a weapon slot, and leave the bag slot opened (but limited since one can’t equip both radio and an actual backpack)

Again, i think its a pretty pointless feature myself for pretty much every class but giving more classes more things removes the real point of classes

And as the other guy said, just put the radio as a “weapon”, but the issue regarding the other classes remain

Oh, now I get it.

I would say open up weapons like shotguns or “carbines” for more classes but not normal semi auto rifles

Take the assaulter class in the assaulter squad for instance: the assault squad evolves basically eliminating the simple riflemen from it, that’s why assaulters can equip rifles too, but the issue is that they can only equip the default one (for example the Carcano M41, the Kar 98 in Russia etc).

Why can’t they access to the riflemen’ rifles instead of sticking to the default bolt action?

Because giving them both SMGs and a semi auto rifle makes them wayyy to powerful. They become the do all class

They already are since they basically take over the simple riflemen in the Assaulter Squads.

They are already nerfed by having a number limit of class-type for the Assault Squad and we can have up to 1 assaulter for other squads, so they won’t ever become as OP as you imagine.

You’re essentially asking to eliminate the purpose of having classes if you give most people access to every weapon. Assaulters are for close quarters and then you want them to be able to switch out to a Garand or G43? Pretty broken. You can have 4 assaulters in the assault squad plus another 4 in assault squad level 2. Why would anyone bring any other squads?

It will not end there. Lets welcome Assault squads equipped with both STGs and FG42s…

Very very true. Or americans with M2 carbines and thompsons…yeah I’d rather not. Though the secondary weapon slot is fairly pointless and needs tweaking giving everyone everything isnt the answer
