...hear me out.
Would it not be better for the game overall (read: medium frames) if the +damage bonuses that commandos currently enjoy were transferred to the assault suits? Iirc, a dev was quoted as saying that the commandos were a suppressive-fire specialist. To replace the damage bonus that I honestly feel is more appropriate for assault frames, give Commandos a +30% to maximum ammo for their racial weapons.
Yes, no, maybe? Commandbros, what say you?
I'd play commando regardless...and don't get me wrong, I like the damage bonus. But I feel like assault suits are meant to be the slayers of the game. Perhaps give the Commandos a second equipment slot or *gasp* GRENADES if this change is effected.

I'd be okay with giving the commando's an ammo amount bonus or fitting cost reduction, if they lost the reload speed (which instead went over to assaults when they get a balance pass for slots/pg/cpu).
No, I feel like the ammo bonus and reload speed go hand-in-hand. If we lost the reload speed AND the damage that leaves us in a ****** place, indeed.

I've said before that Commandos are like the Logis of weaponry. And obviously they're going to be using more PG/CPU on their weapons.
Assaults, on the other hand, would get a bonus to assaulting with a reload bonus. They also don't face the same difficulty in fittings thanks to a greater number of slots.
I just base my thoughts on the reload bonus on what CCP has said about being a suppression class...if we got a bonus to magazine size...say 25-30%...in addition to a 30-40% bonus to maximum ammo to racial weapons then I could probably dig it. Though I would really, REALLY like a second equipment slot.
But that's only because I have a ton of fun playing a Heavy Assault Medic

I think the assaults should give a bonus to their race's tank.
Caldari - Shield Tank
Gallente - Armor Repair
Amarr - Armor Tank
Minmatar - Shield Regeneration
That said, I think Commandos are alright at the moment and don't need a change.
Just my 2 iskies.
Honestly, I think they're ok too...I just feel like this might help out Assaults while making the Commandos fill their intended role a bit better without breaking them.
