I don't see how this could be a problem for anyone, and even less enough of a problem to make a mod, but to each their own. I'm happy i don't have to download it.
Hey. Total necro, but I just started modding out my XCOM so...nyeh. :P
The main reason I'd even consider using this mod is that the female heavy design is just...underwhelming. The male heavies look terrifying (apply the busting-down-the-door-of-your-house test), but the female heavies just make me go "eh? why the hell did you break my door?" largely because they're just so small in comparison. I really think Firaxis missed an opportunity to go straight up Ripley on the FHeavies and kit them out with cool, intimidating armor mods so you'd wet yourself if they were charging at you (or busted down the door of your house :P). Especially this since the heavy armor is already custom compared to the other classes. If someone made a mod to change up the FHeavy armor model and give them that "make me scream like a child" feel, I'd get that in a heartbeat and would never play without it. That would just be chef-kiss good.
Is this compatible with Long War? I like the name btw. Oh, and the "Commander's Choice" mod is compatible with Long War and lets you assign any troop to any class.
Yeah, I don't much understand why this is even a problem 5 people apparently have. It can't be for realism, because the foundation of this game is entirely unrealistic.

So, yep probably a personal preference thing.
Thanks
