Masochist.

**yeroc500**

I`m not stoopin down to your level.

**shroud010**

or are you?

anyway. I realize the medic to squad ratio is horrible. i beileve its 1 to 12

**ineptus astartes**

well IRL medics are about 1/100

so...squad ratio is incredibly good

**yeroc500**

But it says the limit is one. Oh and I have a question about the jobs, we dont have a heavy weapons job, so can we create one. Even though we`re a strike team we`ll need the heavy firepower.

**Devastator**

Or simply have heavy weapons as perk.

**shroud010**

who set the limit?

**yeroc500**

Ok that too, but in most squads from anything you have a designated heavy weapons specialist.

Try Mordo, our resident GM methinks...

Also heavy weapons goes under demoman I believe...

"I am heavy weapons guy....and THIS is my weapon..." And all that...

**ineptus astartes**

me....(it would be realistic, I am noot saying no one else can be on as I am not the GM I am just pointing out that IRL no one gets hurt that bad that often)

**Devastator**

Yes, most squads, our squad may be exception.

Anyway, my flamer could count as heavy weapon?

**yeroc500**

I say one is probably needed. Cuz I aint pullin your ass out if your under heavy fire. Unless I choose to be the heavy weapons specialist.

I have a feeling our squad is going to end up being the futuristic equivalent of the Dirty Dozen or maybe even Bad Company...

**shroud010**

we are kinda fighting futuristic enemys that love melting down people to make new things...plus whatever side quest there are. And my character has no immune system since bacteria is the same size. so put enough holes in me and i go down quite easily

**yeroc500**

Right, so a heavy weapons specialist will get you into cover if need be or provide it with a wave of bullets.

**shroud010**

make a class example and provide perks and equipment lists and options and see what mordo says about it

**ineptus astartes**

Ironic. I have the most efficient immune system.

**ineptus astartes**

I will do it for you guys!

I love class-making!

**yeroc500**

Yes. Ok just make sure they are heavily armed and armored.

**ineptus astartes**

willco.

**Devastator**

So this "heavy" trooper is pretty much soldier with MG?

**yeroc500**

Idk it depends on how ineptus charts him. But i`m thinking a heavier armor and a heavier gun, but a reduced wait, and less damage per bullet.

**WARORK93**

Figured it'd be more like a handheld minigun, like Jessi Ventura in Predator

**Devastator**

Why don't just have soldier with MG as special wargear?
Would be much simpler.

**shroud010**

i believe so.

ineptus remember my race is the size of bacteria, it takes trillions to fill one suit. But once one of the exorios dies it hardens but it takes several billion to create a clot to stop the infections so think blood that hardens instantly when it touches air.

**yeroc500**

Because we`re complicated Devestator that why.

im going to side with deve.we dont need a new class,just make the soldier have the option of a heavy weapon. besides,i thought the point of the soldier was to be the main fighters anyways.

**ineptus astartes**

so, nice

I am working on the class, you have three weapons that are options you can take (only one of them)

**ineptus astartes**

basicly they are standard troops, but siolders taking them would OP them too much IMO

**shroud010**

true, when he said heavy i thought like a guy carrying a lazerbeam cannon or a tank barrel.
