@PartWeIsh One additional thought on individual Specialists:
Rao is not a recon, he's an engineer because he hacks vehicles with his anti-vehicle ability and his kit meshes well with an AT or AA rocket. Rao should be in the engineer category.
Boris should be assault not engineer as his kit is damage oriented and his turret doesn't damage vehicles so he makes no sense to be in the engineer category. I guess we could say Boris might fit in recon since his turret spots enemies if you really want to keep even class numbers (which isn't necessary).
@ragnarok013good points there. Also as i posted in my feedback comment a few pages back, they should swap Mackay with Paik. Mackay should be recon with his hook to get to sniper advantage locations, and Paik should be pushing the front line with the help of her wallhacks and storming enemy holds

@Spinner1981 at first I toyed with Sundance as a recon but didn't add her to that category specifically because of her mobility. Half the reason we feel like we're getting shot at from all directions is because Sundance and McKay can go almost anywhere so giving either of them a sniper rifle would be a monumentally bad idea IMO.
@ragnarok013yeah thats the problem with specialists having these traits/abilities, it can throws stuff off course which makes it harder to categorize. I mean whats worse, Mackay getting good vantage points as a sniper, or Mackay getting good vantage points as Assault in the middle of it all and raining down lead?
We all know what happened to Anakin!

@Spinner1981 Specialist gadgets being unbalanced is one of many reasons I objected to the inclusion of Specialists when they were first announced. I didn't like BF1 Elites for the same reason, it throws a monkey wrench into the rock/paper/scissors balancing of Battlefield and the end result if always worse.
