i think you already know that the assault class is multirole class.

okay lets begin

SUPPORT class

jobs: providing heavy gunfire for your team, destroy vehicles (secondary), resupply your team.

weapon: full auto, low recoil, mid~high damage, high velocity
my weapon choice: AEK-971, 416 carbine, STG77AUG
attachment setup: heavy/predator barrel, casket magazine, tactical/thunderbolt stock
MUST have training points: ammo box 4/4, advanced combat supply 1/1, improved threat awareness 2/4, C4 2/3

SPECIAL FORCE class

jobs: stealth, multirole, add C4 on captured flags, destroy vehicles, pwn your enemy from behind.

weapon: low deviation, low recoil, fast reload
my weapon choice: AEK-971, M16
attachment setup: close in barrel, viper magazine, tactical stock
MUST have training points: ammo box 2/4, smoke grenades 2/4, C4 2/3, pshycal training sprint speed 1/2, improved threat awareness 2/4, avoid tripwire basic 1/1, satelite surveillance 1/3

CQB fighter

jobs: fighting on short range battle

weapon: high damage, full auto (Assault Rifle), mid~low deviation on short range, fast reload
my weapon choice: AK-47, any shotgun

You are missing quite useful TP's for assault though.

Tactical Reflexes 3/3 : Very useful for fast reactions to turn around quickly and kill your enemy before he kills you (even though he shot you first)

Smoke grenades 4/5 : Infinite smoke grenades very important for capping flags and to hide from enemy snipers in the open.

Improved threat awareness 4/4 : Useful against enemies hiding behind bushes, bunkers, buildings etc. which are very hard to notice without looking carefully

and other useful TP's are increase sprint speed, increase jog speed, avoid trip wire, increase HP 2/2 safe fall and power climb (to take out campers on rooftop quicker)

just some recommended TP's you might want to add it to your guide.

Oh, and ammo box TP is not that useful. also these TP's are a must have for all assault playing style. the different playing style like CQC or special force should only be the weapon set up in my opinion.

Lol my assault does this simultaneously. Recommending AK or AUG is a joke coz even G3 is better. Another newb for newbs guide

Main task of assault is close/midrange cleanup with dagger fire (opposite to spray and pray) with high accuracy, high headshot percent, low kill time and ammo consumption.
Secondary task is ammo.
Tertiary is C4. C4 sux compared to RPG and mines and u'll never outperform engie vs armor, C4 runs are usually suicidal so use it if there is no other way to cap the flag.

Main skills are physical training coz optimal range of assault is low an you need to run a lot to be able to shoot from distances where yor fire is deadly and superior to other types of fire (sniper fire for example). This skill is absolutely mandatory IMO.
Training phys training (tier 2, right side of skill tree) gives you 5 points in tier 1. And these points MUST be in tactical threat awareness сoz this skill is wall hack light edition and there are no tier 1 skills near as useful as TTA.
2 ammo boxes skill. Coz if you aren't going to drop ammo, take medic or engie.
After that you may spend TPs for C4, 110 HP, satellite scan, nades or vehicles, but these skills are options.

the weapon choice is only my opinion.. ofc actually all guns cant fits it, but i tried that gun fit the best at its role..

and the your training point choice is for multirole.. not for specific role

Im not any authority in assault class playing, but i personally think that assault shouldnt be focused on CQC battle, flanking, and especially destroing vehicles. It can be but its only accidentionally, not main task...

For me assault is best to be main battle forces, especially effective on medium range, lets say from 25th, to 60th meter. Maybe im wrong, but i think that SMG's have same firepower and better accuracy on short ranges, and semi auto snipers are better on longer ranges. I think, assaults rifles arent for CQC, because it lose it all advantages in compare with any other option. Smg's are more accurate, and shotguns do more damage.

C4 is very flexible weapon, but it is useless on open area versus tank... You can go and do kamikaze run for kill, but is it accurate? Only when tank is reloading all weapons, and is immobilized... Or just blind or dumb. But why author is talking, like all players are dumbs/blind? I dont know.

Assuming, IN MY OPINION, asault is just men at arms, that cant be used as multirole as recon, because of its weapon and skills similarity, the only sorts for me are supporting assault (focused of smoke grenades, C4 and grenades) and main assault (focused on maximize chances to survive on battlefield, by cobat expertise.)

Its just my opinion, and as i said at first, im not any authority in assault class playing. Just played a few times.

Increase sprint speed and ammo box is very useful for me

tactical threat awarenes more better than tactical reflex

1. yes, but thats in-general role
2. its for long range.. improved threat awareness is useless on CQB

The best thing I like from assault class is smoke grenade , with smoke you can reach to advantage positions without getting killed on the run way , ninja C4 on tanks v...v.... So I really think every assault should at least have 2-3 smoke grenades in your pocket .

Just because you can't afford other weapons except G3 or use G3 or like G3 only doesn't mean it's the best weapon in the game.

I own all ARs xept F2000 and absolutely all attachments. G3 technically isn't the best AR, but better than AK and AUG. Coz these two aren't even mediocre. They are bad. AK inaccuracy and AUG side recoil.
What concerns G3 - technically it is superior to all ARs in everything xept damage, which is 10-20% lower. You may check this easily in weap comparison tool. AFAIK this is coz G3 wasn't nerfed or nerfed less than other guns during december 20 patch.

Aug + Nemesis Stock = almost no recoil
Still sideways but extremely easy to compensate. Takes maybe 15 minutes to get used to.

my advice for assault class is to basically do what ever you can to help your team win. if you team needs some vehicle support, go find a tank or apc. if they need to cap flags, lead the charge and obliterate anything in your path. if they need some defense, find a good spot, and lay down fire. they are the jack of all trades class. and while not being extremely proficient at everything thing, they still have the abilities to do a little bit of everything.

Well... AR's are superior to other guns in close+midrange section. So, you can't say "jack of all trades, master of none" Assaults do well what they are expected to do - rush and kill.

The only problem I see in classification is that some SMGs and MGs make engies and medics very assault-like. Sometimes I think that class system is senseless and we need just 1 type of universal soldier with big skill tree etc etc.

assault real job is to infiltrate enemy flags push the flare gun and call up some reinforsments thats it
