Suggestion: Swap the models of 104th Heavy and 104th Heavy Ordnance
Implementation: Switch the Heavy model with the Heavy Ordnance model and switch the Heavy Ordnance model with the Heavy one for both jobs. This'll be keeping the same loadouts and wouldn't be adding any new models to the server. It's a pretty minor change but after asking multiple people within the battalion, the main reason for members (new and old) for not joining HVY is because of the model (specifically the helmet), resulting in there being a very low amount of members and a cause for new members avoiding the regiment. From a model and a bit of a lore standpoint, it makes more sense for heavies to be more lightweight and have a sunvisor, rather than have the antenna/cheek plating helmet attachments. Heavy Ordnance would have more use for the chest strap and helmet build due to the loadouts they utilize, aswell as the backpack making sense for carrying ammunition and mines. Community depiction also shows Heavy/Z6 troopers with sunvisors rather than the current Heavy helmet. The models are also already implemented on the server for both jobs, so nothing new would need to be added.
