They seem to be also carrying a ammo backpack, kind of like wielding a deployable MG42, Browning M1919, or a M240 into battle.
Bonus points if the backpack doubles as an extended magazine, 'Panzer Cop-style'. If, on the other hand, they're meant to be VC's analogue of RA3 Peacekeepers, they'll need a good shotgun...

I also see that they carry a tank on their back when wielding a flamethrower.
I wonder if one would be able to exploit a certain weakness of such weapons if you encounter their Imperial mirrors...

I wonder when will they be able wield real Assault Rifles, not the ones that fires 9mm. I also wonder can their weapons be given other attachments other then flamethrowers like a shotgun attachment or a tactical scope similar to the one they put the StG 44.
Given how much in terms of mechanics is inherited from the first game, the answers there would be a mix of rewards and upgrades.
