As a Rifleman who used to do this with Strafe Shot 2, it was quite effective........ Before Buff/Armor maddness destroyed the game
So it should be rather effective, by the way to be 100% you will either need some pistoleer or BH to have a second decent DD AOE to alternate to.

The idea is simple, carbineers have the ability to spray a large area (/fullautoarea). This ability means that a group of carbineers with the self control to maintain a formation would eachbe able to hit all targets in front of them. The combined effect of all carbineersshooting atall targets in range, rather than each shooting individual targets should form a formidable defensive line.
This idea occurred to me quite some time ago, before the combat upgrade however it was unfeasable to achieve with the low numbers of carbineers. The increased carbineer population now makes this a possibility. Multiperson speeders also add the possiblity of rapidly deploying a line of carbineers.
Has anyone tried such an idea?
Any rebel carbineers on chimaera who fancy doing some testing contact me ingame.
i have thought of this for a long time now, and aside from that....when they fix suppression fire, that kinda strategy can be truly devastating.
