I'm sure Chompy would like to have even more bite...
Would indeed be awesome, but we tested much of this back in the Mkall days.
We found that doubling up the same tactic isn't possible as the code doesn't allow it somehow, although I was never given the details of why. We faced the same problem with triplechangers, although in this case it was because only 2 tactics appear to work at any one time so the first tactic bought became obsolete.
Back then we had looked at revamping the alt classes entirely based on battlefield function instead of alt shape, but it never really went anywhere as overhauling alt classes currently in use messes with the existing characters. I still have the googlesheet we made for it in my docs account.
