-1, I get it mate. Everyone lost what made them special but ffs is the sheild not enough.
No where is it explicitly shown that All DU used Z6s, yeah maybe 2 did but that just doesn't cut it. Lore is not the main issue tho
Everyone got our shit taken and you kept your sheids only because without them you'd be a pointless battalion. You got yoir sub unit too, so saying it's fundamental is just dumb. Use your shields, show them off, make full use of this great asset you've been provided. Don't just set it aside as some minor thing in aspiration for a rotary canon because the "shields aren't enough" more than what 104th and 41st have but they still make do. If the shield isn't a big deal than make it a big deal, actually try to get members with something special not just "big gun go boom"
Not to mention how OP having all jobs have a Z6 is. No other battalion gets anything like this, the closest is RANCOR but they have to go through ARC training to get it.
If you need help adjusting to the new HWS or want some assistance being noticed talk to HC and ask for ideas, they don't bite.
You already have alot, work with it because that's what the rest of us are doing. It's uneeded, unfair and a tad insulting to ask for more when you've already got so much.
