I can agree with you 100% on this point.
Situation:Me playing on hard. Support shows up. Through the first few waves he buys NOTHING.
So I ask "Hey mr. support, its wave 4 and you don't have armor or weapons, what gives?"
He says "No armor, saving for aa-12"
My reply: >rage<
In my opinion there is no reason to make decisions like this. Armor+teir 1 weapon > no armor+ teir 3 weapon. Any. Day. of. the. week.
and i say tier 1/2 and no armour with a tier 3 coming sooner is better than either.
I agree with you if your support is < lev 5 and is mucking around with a pistol, but if he spawns with single or hunting he should probably top that up, using pistol as backup until landing the aa12 asap
It's practical and economic - the aa can clear up rubbish effectively and cheaper than the other shotguns, and yet it's versatile enough to drop the big stuff too.
As for armour - effective team-healing will compensate for a lack-of, indeed you will have to do this to beat hoe whether you all start with armour or not.
