Denied RE-SKIN the TL-50 Heavy Repeater, at least for CT reg. (DC-15LE?)

[Chapxe 1]

What your suggestion is: Replace the TL-50 with a beefed up DC-15a, AKA the DC-15LE (removed scope)

Scriptfodder/workshop link: N/A

Any additional information:

I'm pretty sure the TL-50 was not in use by the grand army of the republic. Checked wookieepedia article on this which states its from the galactic empire era. 
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/TL-50_Heavy_Repeater

Replacing it with a beefed up DC-15a would suit well anyways. Giving more uniformity.

I specifically want the TL-50 to be replaced for the CT regiment.

"Pretty much a TL-50 RE-SKIN."

Alot of the weapons we use in CW were not used by the Republic, e.g A280, DLT, T-21, etc. But we use them because without them the regiments would be so boring. You'd basically only have DC15s, a, 17 and 17m and a z6 rotary. 

The change simply isn't necessary.

To have the enticement and interest be dependent on weaponry is rather shallow.  Especially how the gunplay is. Republic era guns have different types and versions. A lackluster amount of weapon variation is not a problem that can't be fixed.
However that's not the point I want to make, I just want to remove the TL-50 out of the CT weapon pool and replace it with something better.

The TL-50 is pretty much the only thing CT has going for it ATM. The weapon is really OP, but remove that and replace it with something else would make the regiment even more mundane than it already is.

The CT regiment is specifically the most mundane, they're all clones. That's their only selling point, and those who stay in the CT reg would understand that. They would get a "New Weapon" which could be a beefed up version of the DC-15a having the same stats as the TL-50.

The TL-50 is a good gun idk why you want to replace it and using the argument that its not lore friendly, the is a lot of things on the server that is not very lore friendly so thats not really needed

The gun is really ugly. Muddling the weapon pool with out of place guns is not befitting of the era, it should only be a last resort move.

idk if you were granted by CT hierarchy to do these suggestions but lets say you were, so anyway your idea to replace tl50 or re skin is stupid because thats the only good weapon CT's get at CO/SO whatever rank it is and if you dont like it, join another regiment?

And as multiple people said alot of stuff isnt lore friendly on the server and server doesnt even try to be lore friendly.

TL-50 is one of the best weapons the CT regiment has. I think it's ugly, I found out it doesn't fit canon a valid point. I knew it would be possible to have a propper replacement. And so that urged me to make a suggestion to replace it with something similar and more fitting. The replacement wouldn't undermine the regiment's combat effectiveness.

And luck would have it there's a valid replacement the DC-15LE.
The DC15LE is literally a beefed up DC15a that could be given the same stats as the TL-50. 

But why make the effort of doing a re-skin? Cause it looks better, and fits the canon. Just because the server isn't lore friendly doesn't mean this idea get shot down, nor does this suggestion mean that all other non-canon stuff needs to be replaced.

_______________________________

The DC-15LE is in game already as a scoped version I believe. The gun in battlefront 2 is setup as an LMG. The DC-15LE Without a scope, using the same stats or similar to the TL-50, is nothing impossible to have.

Remarked that the DC-15LE already is an asset in the weapon pool..

The only thing I would agree in this is if you would want to replace the skin of the tl-50 as it doesn't look that appealing, but yeah, replacing the whole tl-50 is not a good option

I really don't see the reason why. Just because it doesn't strictly fit the cannon doesn't mean we should replace it. The TL-50 is already great weapon once you get used to it. The model for it is also fine at least to me, the gun doesn't go over half of your screen like the 41st heavy sniper, so I really don't mind if the gun isn't excatly "appealing".

-1 my immersion is completely ruined by weapons such as the tl-50, a1280 and other guns alike!! Why not just change the way regiments work where  you have a jedi ordering them around in events! Also replace fleet with jedi generals shouting in comms too! Maybe also give out all equipment to every regiment to make it more lore friendly so you have regimental pilots, tank drivers, medics, snipers, scouts, explosive experts!

Actually the whole prequel saga ruins my immersion and we should just stick to the original three.

Opened the poll again.

Still feel at least a re-skin for the CT reg is a worth while effort. DC-15 variant beats TL-50 any time.

Rant, my hope to improve gunplay and gunplay that satisfies.

From my personal experience Gmod has never out shined CS:Source gun-play, a game that uses the same engine. Closest I've got to good gun-play was while playing some vanilla TTT.  Seeing how that works rather well as an FPS I wonder, why not implement it's gun-play more? 

I realize this too much to ask, large Gmod servers are latency cesspits damaging any good gun-play.  Large health pools don't cover up that fact. Gun-play changes require further in-game changes as well, such as map design. 

Heroes & Generals has better gun-play currently and that game is awful.
