You what it's missing?

A fear factor.


Heavies are known to tank and shred you with hmgs or one hit your lav and wipe you out

Assaults are known for quickly and effectively taking out targets

Scouts are known for their deadly knives and shotguns.

Logis- aren't really fighters but we all hate jumpy mass drivers.

Commandos? Aside from the minmatar and gallente with good av, they suck, can't stack as much hp as assaults, can't rep as quick, can't run as fast, can't hack as fast, and kill as fast, any jump as high,

They suck and have really no fear factor. Plus they are SUPER SQUISHY.

So what can be done about them?

Idk. That's up for everyone to decide.

Keep in mind that the main focus would be caldar and amarr commandos as the min/gal are effective at av

WHAT IF we got rid of commandos, gave assaults 2 light weapons, took away those side arms, and made them the true assault/suppressors?

And to balance them out against other dropsuits, take away the damage bonus.

Give scouts/heavies a bonus to sidearms to make those counter the assaults light weapons?

Look at it like this

Assault- 2 light small bonus to both weapons. 1.racial bonus

Scout- 1 light- 1 side arm. Side arm damage bonus (to counter second light weapons of assaults

Heavy- 1 heavy, change their side arm to a light weapon or keep side arm of you feel it will be op.

If you do give heavy light, give scout a second side arm.


The last and final option would be to remove them.

They would still have less HP, no splash damage bonus, etc. In a 1 v 1 with a Commando and Sentinel, at HMG range the Sentinel should beat the commando every time with all other things being equal (weapons, gun game, etc.) A commando isn't going to have 1400 + HP stacked on.

The major thing this does is give the commando absolute versatility to make up for its deficiencies in ther areas (speed, shield regen, etc).
