>>5715670I think it would be a bit of a shame to give up your HP to go full (almost) infantry gun desu. This will be bloody, so that 4hp you'd be missing matters.
Although if you want some suggestions for positioning Id suggest one of these two spots where you're well suited to provide fires but also are admittedly exposed. However your ability to generate smoke over longer distances could seriously blunt the enemy effectiveness and also provide you with opportunities to fall back.
