[Bri] With a little previso. No small arms weapon (even those with
asterisk
(*) next to them) can have NO effect, except supperssion, agianst
Class-2
armor or better (SG p.37). And there are not too many armor class-1
tanks
(at least in DS2). So you may want to go back to having the PA have a
heavy
weapon or a larger mix of the AT variant of your PA.
