Battalion: Research and Development (Led by Chief of Development Baker & Deputy Chief of Development Bob)
Leader: N/A
Requirements: SPC+ or Level 60+
Description: The Technical Team is the unit responsible for use of both air and ground vehicles for the Resistance. We have access to both wheeled and tracked ground vehicles as well as attack helicopters, both of which we use to counter Combine vehicle activity and terrify their infantry. If you see any ancient Soviet military hardware careening around at irresponsible speeds dropping munitions like hot toast, chances are it's one of us.
"The Resistance wouldn’t be in the position they are in now, without the efforts of their R&D Company. Some of them are noted to be former Black Mesa personnel, however this kind of information has been kept under heavy guard in order to protect them from the Combine’s sights, as well as prevent any tension that could be caused by those who blame Black Mesa for the 7 Hour War. The R&D department is very multi-disciplinary and covers several scientific fields, it’d be difficult to count them all.
There are rumors among the Combine that the Resistance have been working on exploiting the ‘loyalty’ chip system and using it to turn their augmented forces against them, but no information gained has suggested it to be true.
A testament to the ability of Resistance vehicle technicians is their ability to use nothing more than a bunch of scrap metal to fix even the most damaged of battle-recovered vehicles, to also be able to create new and entirely combat-ready ones."
Fuck every other perc besides raw damage for maximum vehicle efficiency like glass cannon, rambo, and center mass or even backstab.
Deploy as duos to cause more devious activity and be more deadly as well as keeping each other alive
Look at the map and decide what would be best for the situation. Examples: OVA? deploy KA-52. Shit tons of infantry? deploy MI-2 or the Jeep or T-90. don't have the map and all of the Combine are pushed up? Deploy a TC.
