Name: Ratchet
RP Rank: SSG
Suggestion: Buff the Z6's accuracy, also maybe a the charge up time a little bit
Add or Change: Heavy Troopers
Job: Heavy
Description: Heavy Trooper in itself is kind of the noob regiment that new people to SWRP gravitate to and the only thing you get as a heavy is a Z6 and currently in my opinion the Z6 is very lacking in a lot of categories. The Z6 is very situational, the only time it's actually worth to use the Z6 is if you are very close to the enemies and even then the DLT-19, A280, Cycler rifle, Bowcaster and obviously the Flame thrower and RC shotgun are objectively better picks. Even close range engagements it's still pretty hard to chose the Z6 over other weapons, it gets out classed in DPS until it reaches the point when there's 150 in the magazine and then the fire rate picks up, the thing is there is no reason to not just pick for example something like the DLT-19 or the Cycler a literal sniper rifle, because with those weapons you don't have to dedicate those first 30 bullets to actually start doing some damage, you can just do the damage. Now the accuracy is so bad, that in a 180 bullet magazine I can only find myself hitting maybe every 1/10 shots or more in medium range encounters, and in long rang encounters maybe 1/30 shots actually hit. There is no reason to join a heavy as a new player in SWRP and there is especially no reason to join heavy as an experience player. You don't get any more HP or armor as a heavy, you don't get superiority over ground vehicle, all you get is a Z6 and that's fine, to only get a Z6. But the problem is, the Z6 is out classed by even a DC-15a because, with the DC-15a you don't have to have a moral dilemma in your head checking boxes off to figure out if the Z6 would be viable in whatever situation you're in. If by chance enemies are close range and you actually get to use the Z6, by the time you pull out the Z6 and get it to the 150 bullet mark when your fire rate is at full throttle; there is a good change that all or maybe half the enemies are already dead. In short, please.. I want to be useful as a heavy, MAKE Z6 GREAT AGAIN!!
