This is wildly incorrect. I have seen a great deal of Repeatermen be "mobile" in their gameplay and to say that restocking your ammo and running and jumping is not something Repeaterman does is wrong. You can play stationary if you want, but I have a hard time even calling 'restocking your ammo' a tactic. It's just refilling your ammo. It takes hardly any time at all and you can go right back to where you were standing before.

This is also incorrect. Just because Archer and Pikeman are more agile, does not mean Crossbowman 100% cannot move. Repeaterman can put enough distance between an enemy to empty his crossbow, reload and start shooting again if you are careful, even if its armour does weigh more than an Archer or Pikeman. To say that the crossbowman "is not mobile" is wrong.

You have a squad that has a stormtrooper, a sniper of various ranges and a machine gunner to cut through the dense ranks of enemies, but it only has a dozen rounds, so it must produce a machine gun only aimed sniper shots. Isn't this situation stupid?
You have created an interesting concept yourself, and you are personally stifling it at the root, not allowing it to develop. I don't understand you.
I don't think being condescending is going to get you anywhere. The fact that you are the one not listening to the opinions of others in this thread makes you the one that is not being open-minded.
I think your relation of the Repeater crossbow to miniguns is incorrect. Why is the Repeater the "minigun" of this game? Last time I checked, the Repeater crossbows don't shoot all of their rounds if you hold down the mouse button, only when you let go of it. This makes it more similar to semi-automatic gun, not an automatic one. This would make it more akin to a battle rifle, or, funnily enough, some sniper rifles.
If you want the mod to have an automatic belt-fed crossbow, I don't think that's going to happen.
You choosing to be stationary as a Repeaterman is your choice, not something forced upon you by the class. You can absolutely play the class while "being mobile". I don't understand how refilling your ammo is even an issue. If you just want to have some cool new bolts for your favourite class, I understand and I apologize, but they would not add anything to the core class.
if you have problem of the model variety send it to winter xen winter me winter me xen me winter because it'll piss him off
