Not quite, around a month ago I brought up the idea of changing some of the TSFU classes to Smity (For the same reasons Bishop mentioned in his post), and originally I asked for the SV98 which he denied. Then, I asked if the SVT on T3 could be moved to replace militant or combatant and he said "Maybe".
Smity has stated that TSFU is the CQC faction on Tali, similar to that of GB. However, TSFU's weapons are no match for the weapons given to GB.
GB: Scar light, G36C, M3 Super 90, XM1014, and the M14
TSFU: MP40, G3A3, M620, SVT40.
The Scarlight is one of, if not the best AR on the server. The SVT40 is only on T3 for TSFU while M14 has it's own class, and the G3A3 is only viable during certain tik rates.
If TSFU is considered to be a CQC SOC faction, that would make 055th also be a CQC SOC faction by using the same logic.
055th: AK103, Veresk, MP153, PKM, and the M1 Carbine. (AR, SMG, Shotgun, LMG, DMR)
TSFU: MP40, G3A3, M620, SVT40. (SMG, AR, Shotgun, DMR)
Neither TSFU nor 055th have a sniper rifle, meanwhile DF and Rangers have sniper rifles. Also not to mention that the AK103 given to 055th is tied w/ the scar light for being the strongest AR.
