Unless we see some big changes to our weapons soon, i see no point in continuing as a commando, when we could just become riflemen and get a weapon with heavy armour piercing, special moves, and without charges. I believe the entire concept of the commando profession needs rethought, with more weapons we can use at ranges greater than 48m, with special moves we can perform outside of 16m. No army in the world would accept a heavy weapon with a shorter range than the average ones, and if they can get armour piercing in a smaller weapon, i.e. T-21, why have heavy weapons at all? Commandos have become glorified grenade chuckers, and grenades are pretty pathetic right now as well. What this profession needs is a for acid rifle and flamethrower to be merged into one skill tree, under the title chemical weapons, and a new tree added, with repeating blasters, ive seen many people asking for them on this forum, and if the riflemen can have thier armour piercing rifle, why cant we have our rapid-fire blaster?

Why not just get both? You can always get back to Commando when it is fixed later on......

It's your character. Do what you want with it.

What weapon did you use to earn the combat xp to get commando? Surely you have that xp of that gun type just sitting there unused.

Don't like commando. Unlearn. Enjoy the game.
