base gear/guns behind assignments is stupid

so I've been playing BF since BF3 and having the base equipment/weapons that gives most classes its role was a really stupid idea imo.

I'm not against assignments but they should ONLY be once session 1 and beyond has been started like it was back in BF3/ BF4. but imo base game unlocks should only be unlocked during standard unlock progression.

also some of the assignments are just not right at all, a support assignment needing to repair vehicles? like wtf.

assault class has the same unlock parameter on both, I'm assuming its meant to be 300 kills with an assault rifle, and inflict 10,000 damage using an assault rifle and not the same thing on both?

add to that its only 3 weeks from launch to session one so hiding basic stuff behind a unlock simply was not a needed requirement.
