Buff the Riflemen

[open kelp]

If you take a look at the many different classes in Squad (and other games like Battlefield) you can see that all of them are special.

The Medic with his ability to heal. to have more bandages and to use them faster.

The AT´s with their anti-tank weapons.

The Combat engineers with his destructive abilities and building speed.

But if you take a look at the Riflemen he`s a bit... blank.
All he can do is being the Squad mule, he carries a bit of ammo which is quite important but its not enough.

So i would wish that he gets an upgrade, maybe that he can also carry more bandages (and maybe use them a bit faster then other classes but slower than medics).

Maybe a commander can use him to call in airstrikes or something.

Just make him more useful because as of now it seems more like a punishment for being the last one to join the squad and only being able to play the riflemen.

Thats what a rifleman is. The workhorse. The cannon fodder. Your average soldier

Also it's already one of the most important squad role. Without rifleman ATs and medics would be useless

U have over 10 grenades

So why complain

The ability to place two additional rallies, or to take down a MBT within 30 seconds are already very strong abilities of the rifleman, making it easily the second most useful kit after the medic in a Squad. LATs are worthless without it, and a HAT can only take down APCs without a rifleman as well. All the "special" kits like MG, marksman are worthless in comparison. If any kit deserves an overhaul, then it is the marksman and mg kits.

Fr. MG is the worst kit and needs a rework

[open kelp]

Nothing wrong with that but for the player its basically the worst kit to play because you cant do anything else then just carry ammo. Making him better at that wont change that.

The Riflemen does not have these abilities, he can provide them for other but he does not have them.

Medics work perfectly without him, HATs can still kill any vehicle solo without him, LATs can still protect the squad from vehicle attacks without the riflemen.

The mg and marksmen kit provide a more engaging experience for the player than the riflemen.

[open kelp]

No, they work perfectly without a riflemen.

[jagged oriole]

HATs cannot kill MBTs and IFVs if they dont ammorack with both rockets.

[jagged oriole]

Yes, and those abilities are very important and useful

[open kelp]

You can ammorack them with a single shot....

[jagged oriole]

No you cant.

[open kelp]

and he wont loose that ability by getting buffed.

[jagged oriole]

The point is it is already the second strongest kit in the squad, it does not need a buff
