Right now heavy soldiers don’t have a good “mid accuracy” weapon. Their choices are grenade launchers or highly inaccurate weapons like cannons or heavy machine guns.
I really think we need a moderate accuracy weapon for them. For this I suggest an LMG and rare perks for it.
LMG
info: light machine gun, holds 50-80 rounds belt loaded takes 2 power to reload.
fire cost: 2 or 1.
bursts: 5-8 shots depending on faction (New Jericho is the 8 and 80 one. theres is based on an mg3)
Perk: all LMG’s deploy when placed on low cover changing their firing cost from 2 to 1 but limiting them to a 120 degree cone of fire.
overwatch: if one overwatches with an LMG behind low cover they can take 4 reaction shots, upto two per target.
Rare class unlocks.
LMG proficiency: standard
walking fire, only on proficient classes/soldiers: Overwatch bonus doesn’t require one to be in cover.
