Description:

My second class mod, this time presenting the Heavy Gunner Class. Has three Skill Trees, Bulldozer, Fire Support and Personal Defense. I really like the Grenadier class however a part of me wanted to see a heaver gunner class that did not also function as the demolitionist class. You need a promotion screen mod to properly use this class mod any one will do as long as it lets you see 3 or more skill trees.

Class Description: The Heavy Gunner is a soldier who can provide fire support and clear the path for their allies. They are armed with a heavy machine gun and a sidearm. They are one of the more durable soldiers available to our forces.

Weapons:
Primary: Cannon, Assault Rifle
Secondary: Autopistol

GTS Perks: Armor Plating, Hard Target, Combat Aggression
Armor Plating: The Heavy Gunner gains +2 armor and 4 Shield HP.
Combat Aggression: When fired upon, gain one extra action on the next turn. Triggers once per turn. The heavy gunner takes 25% less damage from attacks.
Hard Target: Gain 8 dodge per enemy you can see, up to a maximum of +40. Units visible at squadsight ranges do not confer bonus.

So I made a discussion tab that has all the classes abilities. Less information overload on the class description.

—Required Mods—-
Since the class now uses sidearms as a secondary weapon this mod needs [WOTC] Iridar’s Autopistol Overhaul ( https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1513282047 ). This is mainly for the animations for fanfire and being able to use the Autopistol as a secondary for non templar classes.

If you prefer using a pistol for your Heavy gunner there are some commented out files (located in the config folder of the mod) uncomment them and comment out the side arm stuff. You will also want to replace the corporal perk A115SidearmGunner with pistolgunner. Sadly I could not make the class effectively use both a pistol and a sidearm with the Duelist perk so a made an autopistol version and a pistol version of the perk. So I recommend only using one of these two secondaries with the class.
