TFTV: What's a good cross class for a Heavy and a Sniper?

[Muton]

Trying to determine my squad makeup, then how to cross class them..

Heavies don't seem to have too much value, I only have 1 on a squad now. Mistake? Should I use 2? How to cross class heavy & sniper?

[Artek [General]]

Not sure what you're asking.

Heavies are fine if used well, although having more than 2 seems an overkill.

Crossclassing into sniper is a fair game - ability to use the pistol alone is pretty nice. Then you just give them quislckshot and the "accuracy when far away" perk.

You can also go extra insane and steal the idea from The Pure - augment heavies with assault head and torso for that sweet +20% accuracy and then give them NJ Assault pants.
They look cool as ♥♥♥♥ in that combination, can still use mounted weapons and can walk decently far too, especially if you max out their speed.

[Artek [General]]

Oh, right. The Void mod.
Uh, have no idea what's going on in there. Surely it's the same?

[Muton]

ya things are quite a bit different in TFTV with the classes.. I like that idea Id just hate to lose jetpack

[mergele]

Funnily enough Heavys are a good multiclass for sniper. Jumpjet into double overwatch with Gauss or Hera on Sirens from 2 tiles away. The other way around also works but not that great imo.
For Heavies Berserkers are imo the best ones that use the Heavy class specifics the best, but Assaults and Technicians are all also nice. Even Infiltrator is actually pretty neat.

[Muton]

how is heavy with berzerker as 2nd class good? I think the devs are removing the jump jet as 1 AP cost/adrenaline..

I have 2 heavies
2 snipers
2 assaults
2 berzerkers

[mergele]

Oh, right. Hm... once that is gone will have to experiment again. Adrenalin + Jetpack Control is only 2 attacks and shorter range, might still be valuable enough.
You'll also still have Ignore Pain and Close Quarters Evade for bringing tankiness to the max.
And with the recent augmentation changes rocket legs may be on the table?
Will need to play another campaign to reevaluate. It's actually been I think 6 months now since I played a campaign where I was allowed to use heavies.

Well, after getting all the Achievements, I started playing at fun. 4x assault/berserker/priest, 3x sniper, 2x heavy, 1 vehicle. Set aircraftvto carry 10, vehicles only take up 1.

Now I can be casual abd just smash alien faces.

I see, so you're not even cross classing your snipers and heavies.. Whats your strategy behind that? Why not? And you cannot bring 9 soldiers and a vehicle into a mission

Top squad:
Top vehicle, there can't be two opinions here of course it is Armadillo
Assault\pries
Technican\priest
Sniper\priest

Better use for such team Thunderbird. This way you have space for 1 more soldier, it can be:
(assault\infiltrator\berserk or even heavy with good weapon proficy)\priest

So, answer for your question is "priest for both cases"

[mergele]

Why so many priests?

Because it is cheapest class to kill many enemy (1 AP +6WP = 100 damage to all enemy in 10 tiles cyrcle), have many WP because mutation (+8) and have Mind control.

It is OK if all what you spend for clearing Citadel 4 phoenix grenade(4T, 40M).
