I've not seen a LSM team under 60% assaults/apoth in quiet awhile...... Add a wargear for the ground assault to allow cap at a LP cost. BAM issue pinpointed and solved in one simple suggestion. Though this wouldn't fix it all together since K/D chasers wouldn't waste LP on the item this would greatly impact the win/lose rate of LSM for the simple fact the majority of players DO play assault and very few play tactical.
Um... no. Have you forgotten that Ork Sluggas have shields, and yet can still cap? And no, just because their shields are a little worse than LSM's doesn't validate the difference.
I think that does validate it as the orks get stunned quiet often when their shield breaks. It doesn't even take a full bolter clip to break a sluggas shield it's like 22-23 shots leaving the rest of the clip to use on the stunned ork.
How about having the ground assault being able to cap like Traitor Assault and Ork Slugga (with shield) Cool!
I think it's more the fact that Tacticals are easily LSMs weakest class atm and so many capture points are in tight closed areas where Tacs get further roflstomped.
