Wholeheartedly agreed.

I don't think we'll ever see situations where a fully trained Class X will be better than Class Y at class Y's primary role, whatever that might be. However, Class X might be able to get better at doing Y's job, it's just that it'll never be as good at it as class Y is out of the gate... IN GENERAL.

For Example. Heavy Assault will (I hope) never be as good as an untrained AV at AV. Heavy Assault can certainly train/pick gear to make themselves better against vehicles than their default, but a dedicated AV class will always overshadow them at it.

BUT an infiltrator might be a better AV than an AV trooper if it can walk up to an enemy tank and slap a bag of Kaboom on the side.

And some things simply won't apply. I don't think anyone's going to horn in on engineers or medics, for example. At All.
