I'd honestly be happy with him even with bloated equipment like automedikit, hell, I'd be happy for him to act as pointman with only twin heavy pistols and no ranged weapon. Give him stuff like eclipse grenades, EM weapons, mad traps, Dazer. Maybe even Martial arts with DA CCW.
In N1/N2, the Multisniper had a -6 rangeband, so Sun2 could take ludicrous shots down the length of a 4x6 or 4x8 table with reasonable accuracy. And would really make Krit an auto-include! Hope he's got extra BTS or some other way to minimize EM damage.
I was thinking how to make Shit Cockram viable today and really it comes down to dropping his primary weapon to bring his points down. No one is taking him solo and in a link he's not going to be doing any distance shooting. Like why risk a specialist for combi rifle shots in a link of combi rifles. I've been playing for almost 5 years and I've never seen or even heard of an E/mitter being used. I believe this to be a common experience.
I've seen emitters used in the scenario where you need to Hunt down specialists. But after that I agree its never used. Unless there is a plan to add more scenarios like that it I doubt it will be often used.
I've had an E/mitter from a Rasyat at negative range brick my Hac Tao after failing far more shots than I'd care to admit against the drop trooper. I can't guarantee I would have won otherwise, but it definitely ensured my defeat.
In the glorious days before uprising, unlinked yuriko oda hit a mobile brigada in ARO with her E/Mitter after 5 minutes "dodge or E/Mitter i can't decide" i was lucky and the MB was the Lt... *sigh* ... but yea, using this weapon is uncommon, B1 degrades it to an ARO weapon.
Yeah, E/Mitter is an ARO weapon. Just fix what makes him intentionally bad (the Automedikit) and give him something that addresses the sectorial's most glaring over-weakness which is point defence (i.e. minelayer and/or perimeter on all profiles). Though the Feuerbach isn't a very good weapon. It's costly, low burst, and no blast mode. Heavy Rocket Launcher would improve him so much.
I actually put him in my list as a datatracker for Vanilla in the countermeasures mission. He can accomplish a ton of classfieds. No D-Charges unfortunately, but for that I have the Liu Xing.
Sure, makes sense (ish) in vanilla, but IA has way too many 30+point profiles for a model with an extra 4pt cost added in to be viable.
Used my cube Jaeger to freeze a mowang from behind and then snagged the boarding shotgun zuyong out of a 5 man IA link (over 24" returning fire wasnt an option). With the link bonus down I could remove the link leader. Emitter pulled me back a 2-2 draw out of a crushing defeat game 2 at my last its event.
