Denied Nu-7 COM Weapon change SOPMOD -> MK-18 MOD

[Explosive]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
MTF Nu-7 COM Job Weapon change of the:
M4 SOPMOD -> MK-18 MOD

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
As it stands the Nu-7 COM job holds a Medium range Assault rifle and a Medium-Short Range MK8 [LMG]. By adding the MK-18 MOD instead of the current Assault Rifle [M4 SOPMOD] it would better allow Nu-7 COMs to fight on surface with the CI Officers having the SCAR-H it would greatly balance fights on surface as both teams CI Officers and Nu-7 COM's can better fight since they both have a Marksmen Rifle [MK-18MOD/Scar-H].

As for damage from little tests by myself the MK-18 MOD does around 80-90 Body damage with Headshots getting around 110-120 which seems balanced when compared to the Scar-H.


Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Surface combat becoming more sniper based.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
As stated/said in the Positives of the suggestion it would better Surface combat between CI and Nu-7 as it allows for both sides to have a equalish number of marksmen's/snipers overall.

CI - Marksmen's [2 slots]
Nu-7 - Marksmen's [2 slots]

CI Officer - Scar-H [3 slots]
Nu-7 COM - MK-18 MOD [2 Slots] [If accepted]

CI LTCOM/COM loadout is arguably worse than the Nu7 LTCOM/COM weapons (An94 + KSG vs M4 SOPMOD + MK8), but this is just preference
i think the Nu7 LT+ could do with a little changing considering (as you said) CI officers get a SOPMOD and SCAR-H while Nu7 LT+ only gets a SOPMOD and Colt M4

Yes, Foundation may have worse loadout, but like it was said in the past, it is on purpose to make the balance between the usual 10~15 raids vs the entire foundation combatants. It's already hard enough for them. Also, you can just buy them from gun dealers

Suggestion Denied

Hi @Explosive,

Thanks for taking the time to make a server suggestion.

The Content Team has chosen to deny your suggestion because we believe this could create some imbalances, by giving more powerful longe-range rifles to Foundation. Currently, the Nu-7 already has a marksman job that can deal with these rifles, and on top of that, you also have DEA with snipers and/or long-range rifles. On another note, the reason you have provided is not valid for a change, as you simply want a weapon because the other faction has a similar weapon.

Your suggestion will now be locked and marked as denied.​
