TBH @Faraleth i’m hoping for the same. Either a double merc release with stoker in it or just stoker in it.

Stoker should be a merc that can replenish or manage ammo if he were to suit the fire support category. Probably an ability where he can give another player a pack which grants infinite ammo for a couple of seconds…
Because otherwise he’s just an Assault class mercenary.
I was thinking that Thunder should have a sort of sonar or something, considering that Recon category mercs are less diverse. (Phantom isn’t one because he doesn’t actually detect anything for others, he’s just an Assault class.)
Like, Thunder charges up his sonar like Pheonix, which results in him being marked while doing so, then if he isn’t incapacitated enemies within a certain radius gets detected as well.
BTW who is Javelin?

DUDE 1st of all Thunder is a ASSAULT and the ability he has is a stun nade (flash bang) and he has an LMG (and other guns dunno what they are) as his primaries. Or at least a new LMG. Also stoker has a ammo station with that molotov he’s given. So PLEASE research before you comment about stuff like that.

@JJMAJR Stoker has an Ammo Station like Kira 
Thunder isn’t a Recon merc either, he an assault, he throws flashbang and tanks the living crap outta his enemies. I’d hardly call that a Recon.
Regarding Javelin, a merc with a rocket launcher, that’s pretty much all the information I can give you about the merc. I believe ALPHA players are in possession of more data on Javelin but they are under NDA (No Disclosure Agreement) which means they cannot talk about Javelin.

Meh, figures. Although that makes Stoker better than Kira in Underground, which is not a pleasing development. I thought of ways to balance Stoker against Kira in that map, and thought of this:
Stoker’s ammo abilities just cause a supply drop to fall from overhead. Where it lands is targeted in the same way as Arty’s salvo runs and Kira’s laser. Thus in Underground its purpose is very niche and hard to execute.
This is because Stoker’s ability would be very powerful in Underground.
Well I would have liked to have Thunder be a merc that uses recon abilities, but is suited for people who like playing with force more.
Phantom is a recon class by specification, but honestly the only time it acts as such would be when someone uses voice chat. Honestly the class is already very good, if not extremely annoying, and it doesn’t need the extra help of detecting everything in sight.
More than likely to be an Assault merc.
I try to research on my own time, in which I have little. The Stoker having an ammo station… I made a note about that above.
As for the Thunder being an Assault class, I would make the note that the Phantom is practically an Assault class as well because of how the Phantom doesn’t have the ability to detect enemies. Not that I’d ever want that. The Thunder getting the ability to detect enemies would be a recon ability, but in practice would make him more of a target than a Rhino.
I would say that the Thunder getting flashbangs on top of that would be cool as well.

Thunder or Tutle plz, when you guys think about it, Stoker has a long cool down for his Molotov and an ammo station. decent guns (Timik, Stark, and BR-16 *used in like every assault merc). Thunder is like Rhino and Fragger in between with a concussion nad, Turtle has a deploy-able shied which will be useful in open combat situations
