@Kunstula If I remember correctly, the first draft had support with LMG and engineers with SMG.
I remember points made like:
"The medic can either cover a revive with a LMG or do the revive." and "Support is the wrong class name for medics".

That is why medics got the SMG, and the LMG had to go somewhere, so it ended up with the Engineers.

It is some of the oddities in a specialist game with classes.
