I really like what Conrad said. But don't get this suggestion, you said "Heavy is failing because of the ugly helmet." So it makes no sense that you would just give it to HVO since that would just make no sense. I was aware of you changing the Heavy model, but changing the HVO model, I don't agree with.
In addition, HVO is supposed to be a special regiment and in 104th you should be proud to be selected into a 3 person regiment. That being said why give those who are chosen to be above the normal Heavy and give them the very thing (The Model) that makes Heavy fail?
