[MRP] TSFU Improvements

[Ziggy 1,353]

After posting the AFG QoL Improvement suggestion, a member of Red Group came to me and asked for adjustments for their faction as well. After reviewing the concern, it's clear a couple of these classes need drastic improvements. Firstly, I heard that Red Group was transitioned to fit the role of CQC, which isn't how it was designed originally. 055th Brigade is equipped with an SMG, Grenade Launcher, and an AR. These three elements allow for 055 to excel in CQC, but Red Group has been left out to dry. 

Let's take a look at a couple key classes:

This is one of Red Group's classes. It is equipped with only the M620 and a pistol. It's counterpart on US for Rangers has an M14 and a pistol. It is significantly outranged, however I don't believe it needs a change of weaponry. I think a solution to improving this class would be a simple buff to the M620 that allows it to compete with the Neostead. Ideally, I'd like to replace the 055 : Scout and the Red Group : Militant classes while also buffing the M620. Not sure why 055 has a ranged DMR. 

My suggested change is to up the damage to 10x13 pellets and increase the clump spread to 30% and possibly swap 055 : Scout and Red Group : Militant loadouts/names. 

BRING SLUGS BACK! THEY'RE DOPE!

Secondly, this class:

I have no clue who in their right mind would opt to play this class. It's one of the additional classes that was added later post swap, but is complete trash and overshadowed by every other class in the faction. To help TSFU regain the range it's supposed to have as a faction, add the garnet_dmr_simsks or the garnet_sniper_sv98 to this class.

I actually agree and this would allow the shotgun to be used viably at range, further emphasizing that Red Group is supposed to be a mid/long range faction with the exception being the suicide bomber.

finally, someone picks up on how garbage these classes truly are. +1

+1 except slugs last time slug rounds were in the game(directly after the tali switch happened)  it was near impossible to combat them 

[BrianTheilliterate 147]

+1 idk how this was never fixed, update/fix this shit. I wonder what else if fucked and still waiting to be fixed

+1 but I would say be careful with them slugs, those motherfuckers pack a punch 

[shax999 148]

+1 i feel like no T3 should have any type of dmr/sniper plus heals so it would be a great idea to give them the g3 and hkmp5 on the T3 and move the svt40 to combatant

 

Overall great changes and since we got the explosives and they got the range it would be unfair for TSFU to get the SV-98 in one of their classes to equal out the ranged fire power between both sides. We’re fine as is and even better off if ISI get those phone bombs

TSFU was the second faction i joined on the server, and it was when i was relatively new and had ~100 hours. I remember the map was chahrikar, and holy shit. I didnt have a mosin or an orsis at the time, and the only way i was able to “counter snipe” US on chahrikar desert was to sit on town center apartments with the g3a3 bippoded with a short dot attached.

Although tali is centered around explosives and we have more boom than US, TSFU still needs a long range option for F2P players who dont have mosin or orsis. Obviously on this map it is not that prevalent as most combat is CQC, but overall a TSFU change is greatly needed.

+1, would like to se a revamp on the TSFU Classes

Which is why i said to move the SVT-40 to the combatant class.

TSFU has struggled to compete with other factions who have better faction weapons and a better pool of faction weapons. TSFU is held back by its faction weapons, and the changes outlined by bishop is a good solution to this problem.

TSFU has one good gun and its the MP40 and we have G3 On 3 classes we have it on combatant, bomber, and t3 why can't there be another good gun. I have been trying to get better with it but in situtations of cqc its trash, Now the MP40 is a good CQC but none of the MP40 classes have a ifak so in tourneys, and in war we usually have to have someone with ifak or defib

PS the sniper, dmr on t3 is not good

So you're telling me you've been sitting there with the same classes for months, but had to wait on a messiah to make a post on your behalf?

Round modifications can always be balanced.

Messiah here, this is extremely based and we should do other guns too in the future.
