Staving off the dark side

[Veteran]

I got pretty sore about getting shot over and over by NC Jackhammers yesterday and I was thinking that without an AI MAX, Joe Terran would be forced to fall back on Heavy Assault to counter the threat, and so I had resigned myself to freeing up four certs for MCG.

I couldn't do it. It wasn't because the MCG is worse than the Jackhammer, and it wasn't because the Pounder is a steaming pantsload now with the four second reload time, it was because the TR needs AMS drivers, combat engineers, Deliverer drivers and Burster MAXs and if everyone jumps on the Heavy Assault bandwagon, we're just not going to have enough of them to remain flexible when our population fluxuates like mad, which it does a lot.

It makes perfect sense to me why people get Heavy Assault, but I think that better options exist, even if they require patience and a willingness to give up the "one man army" mentality that should only be reserved for desperate situations.

Yah, I know, yay for me, the golf clap, etc. but can I at least get an 'amen' from any other Deliverer/TS/CE/adv hax guys?
