complete ST Battalion: Storm Commando Changes

[ible]

Battalion Name - Stormtroopers

Job/Class Name - Storm Commando

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Weapon Kit

Current loadout - rw_sw_tl50 | rw_sw_dlt20a | rw_sw_dual_dc17ext | zeus_flashbang
Add - rw_sw_dc19 | gmod_flashbang
Remove - rw_sw_tl50 | zeus_flashbang

Reason for change - I wanted to make this change because the TL-50, our current primary weapon for Storm Commandos, is relatively weak compared to the primary weapons of other Redacted Battalions and Sub-Battalions, which is not particularly ideal for a Black-Ops Detachment like Storm. On the other hand, the DC-19 is a strong alternative as the primary weapon for Storm. It shares many qualities with the TL-50 but offers increased damage output. Implementing this change would undoubtedly bring Storm Commandos up to par with the other Redacted Units in terms of firepower.

(Edit - Additionally, the newer Flashbang grenade I've included offers enhanced usability and practicality compared to its predecessor. It boasts an extended blinding duration and a longer effective range. This grenade is already in use by other regiments, prompting its inclusion here.)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Health

Current - 400
New - 500

Armor

Current - 150
New - 200

Reason for health/armor changes - The motivation behind this change is to address Storm Commandos' current vulnerability compared to other Redacted Units in terms of base Health and Armor. As with the prior change, the objective is to align Storm Commandos with the established standards of other Redacted Battalions and Sub-Battalions. Currently, Storm Commandos are notably susceptible to attacks from both troopers and event actors, which can be particularly frustrating given our role as a versatile Black-Ops Unit. Furthermore, it's worth noting that our HP and Armor are identical to those of our Scout Captain whitelist. This change would not only enhance our combat capabilities but also set us apart from our other Sub-Branch.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Do you believe these changes are fair to the battalion/job role it is responsible for and will benefit the server, if so, why? - I think these adjustments would elevate the status of the Storm Commandos on the server, making them more appealing and, in turn, enhancing the overall appeal of Stormtroopers, benefiting the server as a whole. Moreover, these changes are equitable when compared to other Redacted Battalions and Sub-Battalions, particularly due to their more robust kits and higher HP/Armor. The primary aim of these changes is to place Storm Commandos on a comparable level with other Redacted Battalions and Sub-Battalions.

And as said by ible, tbis update will allow Storm to work with the other spec/black ops during both missions and events to a much higher degree.

In addition to what Turis said. The HP and Armor are a needed buff as the base stats for the Storm is just a copy of scout captian. And a Specual forces squad should be betrer then the normal troops. DT officer has pretty much the same base stats also.

For some Storm is the benifit and/or alure of Storm troopers as a whole. this can help get players more interested in the whole regiment.

I mean you could always just ask for the weapon to be buffed instead of switching it. We have an entire discord channel dedicated to it.

Also (just in case) you may want to look through other jobs on the server and make sure that the DC19 isn’t a regiment exclusive weapon(it’s been awhile I don’t remember)

We do have approval from both Naval and Army command to propose this change, considering how the DC-19 is only a Deathtrooper weapon at the moment. Instead of buffing the frequently used TL-50, which might cause weapon balancing issues for multiple regiments, and thus the server as a whole, we're suggesting a new weapon entirely.
