So few more questions, sort of random, but I figure I'll just use this thread as my place to ask questions:

1. What sort of LBE gear do you guys tend to use for your radio man? I'm guessing there are some clever permutations that maximize the minimum number of slots and even allow things like a bladder?

For my radio IMP, I made him a Marksman and Athletic. Calico 900 is pretty decent for early game and I figure the dude doesn't need to be a CQB specialist since he is a precious commodity.

2. Exhaustion from firing a big MG like a RPK: I reset a lot of the IMP starting inventories so that weapons like SKS are available to a Sniper specialist and RPK to a full machinegunner (as well as a few boxes of ammo). I've noticed that, even though I've lowered the strength to carry one kilo by one-tenth of a point (lowered to 0.9 from 1.0) and even though I dialed down one or two other settings that I'd think would impact it, AND even when I drop all excess weight before combat . . . anyone who fires on full auto seems good for about . . . maybe 4 rounds before they are just totally exhausted. This is even when they are ONLY firing prone with weapon readied before firing ("L" key at target) and even with the bipod.

I thought it was maybe the heavy weight of the weapon, but I noticed it happen with a mini-uzi as well.

The SKS seems to wear the guy out quick too.

Any suggestion on settings I can dial around to try to find my favored level of exhaustion? Getting exhausted from firing on full auto seems reasonable to me . . . but IMHO (and naive opinion at that, so if any of you are experienced with full auto weapon usage do correct me here), it should take 3 or 4 full magazines to wear down a trained machine gunner no?
