Need something to replace the assault teams which are crap.
Im thinking a good replacement would be something called a heavy weapons team
it's a 6 man squad and one member has a .30 cal, It can't be upgraded with anything, just your normal rifle squad except one has a .30 cal.
Now, what would the advantage be? hard to flank, takes longer to kill via sniper, tanks can't take it out in one shot.
Now, in its current state, its power is more of a t1-t2 ability to make it T3, you'd have to give it like Grenades plus stickies or just grenades but no BAR. the .30 cal pretty much replaces the BAR

Dafuq man, don't ask for proof if you'll refuse it if it's not in your favor, logic fallacy for the bloody win.

no, the .30 cal needs to be packed up although a holdable .30 cal would be nice, since that's basically what the LMG for the Wehr is but im not trying to make a mirror ability here.
It's basically a .30 cal weapon team with Rifle support with it.

Wait, are shotguns actually coming to this mod? That sounds awesome What would we expect though? Massive DPS at really close range? Or Killer has been trolling?  |

It made me sad when my rocket troops killed themselves and the enemy in the house. |

Makes me wonder how they would work.
At short range, rolling a hit would do enough damage to one-shot most infantry... But with splash damage doing about half to two thirds of that damage.
The clever bit would be giving the shotguns pseudo-explosive style attacks so that they can do splash damage, and the weapon would have poor accuracy. This would give it a good chance to cripple an enemy as misses would still hit in the form of splash damage, but not insta-gib entire squads instantly with consistent direct hits.
/endtheory.
Regardless of how they are handled ingame, I'd love to see shotguns. Might give Riflemen a cost effective close combat solution - Or as previously mentioned Combat Engineers.

I mean I know Obama was the first one in EiR to get a card. and tbfh the Race card is pretty OP. but Romney has the K.K.K., those guys seem to camo anywhere. So OP units from both sides.
At the end of the day, however, stormtroopers finally got the anal invasion with a cactus they have richly deserved for years.

Id imagine that its a stuart "canister shot" with 1/8th the power, polar opposite to the engie flamer. Where the flamer kills by crits with very little actual damage, the shotgun has no kits but will take chunks of health outta the squad.
