DUST Search - New Sentinels? (dont be too harsh)

What I think you should do is leave the regular heavy and commando suit the way they are now, and turn the sentinels into something of a small tank (lot more armor and shield, resistance etc.). Give them a special armor glass "Sentinel armor plates and repairers" and give these armor plates and rep their own skill tree in the armors branch.

Also, because the regular heavy suits would use HMG and Forge guns, give them a special weapon (maybe a stronger HMG of something along the lines) and remove their side arm slot. They would be the ultimate anti-infantry unit.

It might sound like i want an unkillabe suit for myself, but in order to balance it out i came up with this. Make them so the sentinels move at less then half the speed they do now and make them unable to use vehicles and cant spawn at dropuplinks or CRU and are force to walk from mcc. Also, give them a bigger frame (not too big so they can still run inside buildings) and give them a large hit box so that they are hard to miss and cant strafe because they are slow.

Weapons should still work on them but to a lesser degree, so you would have to use an anti-vehicle weapon. Giving swarm launchers the ability to lock and fire at these sentinels would be great, and maybe add a new weapon or two to fight them.

In addition, these heavy should be strong enough to destroy a LAV and stand against a tank or HAV. By "stand against" I mean be able to do some damage to them and take a few shot from them, but i do not mean they should be able to take out a tank on their own. With 2 more of these sentinels yes but not alone.

It would be a team effort to take down a sentinel, and you should get extra War Points for killing a sentinel. When buying a sentinel they would cost a great amount of money. The proto sentinel would cost the same as a HAV, if not even more. This is a rough idea of mine and it does need "some" working. Sentinel are suppose to be these badass guys who tank shots like a, well, tank. But they are easily killed by an assault suit, so i thought of this.

I don't know how others would think about this, so ill gladly read your feedback on this.

You would get a better reaction though if you would call them MTAC's rather than Sentinels. The way you composed your suggestion you are going to ** off Sentinels by suggesting their class be eliminated and get replaced with what are essentually MTAC's, while you also ** off the Sentinel haters because it sounds like you are suggesting that Sentienls should be even more powerful than they are now. I suggest that you copy and paste my edited post into your original post, and then go through and change "Sentinel" to MTAC were appropriate. Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught.
