I am sure I am not the only who thinks it can get a bit tedious to constantly re-purchase weapons for squads when the members with the upgrades die. So I would like to bring to the table, the 'mechanic' that exists in DoW2 - you purchase an 'upgrade pack' and when the corresponding members with the upgrades die, the weapon gets passed onto another squad member/reappears automatically with squad reinforcements. I have no idea if this is at all possible (or if it could be done, how difficult it will be), but that's what threads are for!

There are number of DoW2 functions that I would like to see brought into this game, but I am testing the waters with this post first (perhaps other modders may be interested in this stuff anyway).

It's tedious but its supposed to be a drawback of the factions that depend on heavy weapons. Otherwise you've got a squad that gets its heavy bolter back almost immediately and of course didn't have to pay for that heavy bolter back. It would really tip the game in favor of imperium factions.
