For me, I’d like to keep Character Classes as simple as possible while minimizing any overlap of functions and abilities. The removal of a “jack-of-all-trades” class should encourage teamplay while discouraging “Superman” antics. **Infantry Class - The backbone class of a squad.** - Can use semi-auto rifles OR sniper rifles only (i.e. not at the same time). Has pistols. - Has body armor (i.e. more hitpoints) when using semi-auto rifles. - Has weaker health and no body armor when using sniper rifles. **Support Class - Provides support in a few ways to the squad.** - Can equip vehicle repair tools OR med packs OR ammo resupply (i.e. not at the same time). - Can use SMG weapons only. Has pistols. **Anti-Vehicle Class - Provides anti-vehicle support.** - Can equip anti-vehicle OR anti-air weapons (i.e. not at the same time). - Can use Heavy Weapons (e.g. LMGs) only. Has pistols. **Vehicle Class - Land and Air vehicle specialists** - Only class that can use air / land vehicles. - Armed only with pistols (no room for larger / heavier weapons in vehicle or aircraft). ---

Looks like a decent proposal except your forgot ammo resupply. Making the support class decide what kind of support they want to be is a good idea. AT and Engineer have been different in the past and there wasn’t a problem, Medic and Assault were different as well. I’d support it. ---

AT and Engineer have been different in the past and there wasn’t a problem, Medic and Assault were different as well. I’d support it. Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I’ve amended my thread’s post to include ammo resupply. ---

Which class revives? Who has “spawn beacons”? IMO give reviving tool for Support and deployable spawn points for Anti-vehicle class since Infantry has access to sniper rifles and you know where that leads. Does Infantry has any equipment other than bodyarmor? Reconnaissance tools perhaps? ---

I would remove the ability to revive those shot dead from BF1. I would also remove spawn beacons as well. ---

You’d think at this stage in the game’s development this detail has already been determined. Wasn’t it touched on in the trailer, or notes somewhere?
