The problem with Assaults is that they are not special anymore. They are generic soldiers now. The Commando is the new Assault high damage and high tank murder specialist (once all 4 AV weapons are out), the scout is the old assaults new assault, and heavies are once again the tankers (with to much damage imo). There is no room for the assault as it currently stands.
What the Assault should bring is a highly mobile damage unit. More mobile than the scout yet slower.
What the assault needs is...
JETPACKS

You guys don't want to fly
On a serious note CCP needs to add something unique to the Assault, balancing their built in factors, like HP and fitting is only a small part of the extreme overhaul required to the role. It doesn't have to come in the form of a module, but maybe a new mechanic etc, I said a jetpack because it is easy to integrate with the stamina and you use sprint, and it would allow for tackle, and flank.
But there are other possibilities like a tactical debuffer, which would allow him to apply effects like web, ECM for massive equipment murder and cloak murder, target painting, etc.

Logistic is the equipment guy, Commando is the light weapon versatility+damage guy, Sentinel is the tanky heavy weapons guy, and Scout is the sneaky guy that goes invisible a lot easier. Giving Assaults more slots doesn't change the fact that they don't do anything special compared to everyone else. I was expecting Assaults to get the bonus that Commandos got while Commandos maybe got stuff that makes them better in prolonged engagements. IE, an Assault would kill stuff and the Commando would be able to stay in an area for an extended period of time using a variety of weapons.
Having played Tribes since I was like 7, I would love me some jetpack. Not sure if it fits DUST Assaults but it would be interesting.
Wait...
Damn it, now I am stuck with nostalgia for Tribes. Thanks ST4R...

I like this, a little to COD for my taste but it's not generic :)

But then we have to classes doing the same thing, the commando and the Assault.
