Suggestion: heavy weapon upgrades should affect mobility

Not really necessary. Those weapons already need to be stopped to fire. I don't really see the need to punish them further in this way.

• The intent isn't to punish. Honestly when was the last time you chose g43s instead of lmg42 or bars over 1919s (if you have access to 1919s)? Any kind of long range weapon upgrade will by definition be more cost effective than its counterparts otherwise it won't serve its purpose. The idea is to make them better for defence. This won't stop the lmg blobs from yoloing into an mg, just give that mg half a sec or so extra time. The keyword is slight, like perhaps 5% or less. I'd like every weapon to serve a purpose and increase tactical diversity. Plus nobody fires on the move anyway cause of 50% reduced accuracy (in the majority of cases) so that 'restriction' is pretty moot anyway.

that's pretty sound logic, but a lot of other changes would need to be made to balance this out, seeing as this would probably effect Ostheer the most (between LMG Grens and shreck-wielding Pgrens), and Ostheer is already considered to be weak.
