What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Give ERT members Biometric Clearance 4 access so they can better access the advanced armories around the site. As of current, they have to wait for a Bio CL4 to open the doors for them, which can put CL4s in danger and diverts ERT attention from breaches. AA is likely already authorized for the lion's share of available combatives by the time ERT is deployed, and ERT has always been dubbed the "soft-nuke", so let ERT access those resources before the site reaches that point.
Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Not to my knowledge.
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
The intention of ERT is to take back critical areas in order to contain the SCPs. It doesn't make sense to have ERT depend on CL4s because they are an independent team sent in to save the site when all is lost. Communications break down and CL4s aren't always available. ERT already have CL4, augers, AA-12s, and nerve gas, so they should be able to handle themselves just fine. In terms of SCP balancing, ERT already has to take long walks to every armory to restock AA. This window is more than enough for competent players to out-maneuver them. It should not be easy to kill ERT if they're using all their resources and playing their cards right.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- ERT can better contain breaches via powerful AA weaponry as they are supposed to be high-level operatives that can be trusted not to abuse said access
- Less overall disruption to roleplay as both nukes become rarer and prolonged breaches are shortened, or at least given a fighting chance to be contained
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- With ready access to AA equipment and biometric CL4 areas, utmost trust has to be placed in the hands of ERT players
- SCPs will be more likely to face AA-equipped ERT more frequently, on top of their base kit, making the nuke point more challenging
