Too true.
without the extra ammo they become vulnerable very quickly,
the assault class will be better at using those weapons as they will have equipment slots, smaller hitboxes, more speed, smaller scan profiles, more agility and as of the next update extra bonuses.
all along dust has advertised that basically any suit can fit any weapon, it's about choice not restriction. |

Your right the lighter frames can't carry heavy weapons.
but not because they are not allowed to it's because they physically can't.
personally I'd of let them but made them basically rooted, (think over encumbered in elder scrolls games.)
also, heavies with light weapons don't work,
if they were op, it would beg the question why are light weapons better than heavy ones. |

Actually back when I started there was a video of a heavy with a sniper rifle, no I don't mean a commando there weren't any back then.
plain fact is you are in the wrong here,
.players shouldn't be forced into playing set roles governed by what dropsuit they use, it's a slippery slope that no body wants to go down, we would end up with set roles with set equipment.
e.g snipers in only light suits, with only a choice of three weapons, assault troops as the only attacking light frame, logistics the only ones who can hack, etc. it may simplify the game but you would be restricted from the first decision onwards
.if a player decides that they want to be long range with high hp, it's their choice, they won't be able to move quickly. just get around them .or use headshots, etc.
. by your logic a scout shouldn't be able to use a shotgun, they don't have the strength to support firing these shotguns whilst running the way they do. (in fact they should be snipers, and that's all as the term scout suggests recon.)
."fat fingers can't fit the triggers" 
they're not giants. how fat do you think they are? if this were the case they'd remove the trigger guard or something.
if they are using heavies with rail rifles then use something like a scout with res. or an ads, or a murder taxi, or a full squad, or plcs, mass drivers,etc. there are plenty of counters to this. if they are using a light weapon they are probably engaging in the open, which as a heavy means they are vulnerable. |
