Accepted Exempt ERT from having perma weapons replacing base job weapons

[Skittles]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This suggestion would exempt ERT, and ONLY ERT, from perma weapons replacing a base job weapon (e.g FHR-40 replacing M249 Para)


Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
There has been a suggestion about removing perma weapons replacing LMGs, however it was focused on MTF enforcer jobs. ERT was mentioned in a reply, but it was not addressed in the suggestion response. This suggestion addresses ERT.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
No unintentional nerfing of an ERT class because you like a specific perma weapon
More consistency between ERT class balance

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
le ert buff xd
Dev work for something minor I suppose

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
I'm an avid FHR-40 enjoyer.

I also love the M249 Para.

The M249 ERT class is in my opinion the weakest already - no auger/aa12 and no turret. It sorta sucks to get that class when you get ERT, for your main attraction of that class to be removed because you have a perma weapon that's in a certain category. I absolutely agree that this change is not needed for enforcer jobs, but for ERT I believe it would be a QOL change as you won't have to hope that the short stick you draw is made worse because you have a perma weapon that's in the same category as an LMG.

Huh, so it is

It is confusing however as the similar suggestion I stated has this - it's not exactly clear what CN's direction is since there's conflicting information on the trello and from a community supervisor (iirc super admin at the time?) on a suggestion.

yeah i said i saw that

My point is: while Auburn has added it as something to be looked into it only mentions AR jobs like strike team. Rushi stated previously that it's an intended feature that permas replace LMGs for balance. Because of this, it's not clear what guns they are going to sort out and still implies that the LMGs are to be replaced by permas.

My suggestion is for an exemption for ERT from ALL replacements for balance, if it's still an intended feature that LMGs are replaced.
