The Assault was my favorite class/playstyle back in the day of Space Marine 1, and the reason for this was simple: the Jump Pack felt good. It was fluid, it was fast, it was easy to use. The standard dodge was replaced by jetting around with the Jump Pack, Jumps were just an extension of the dodge rather than their own ability, and Slam Attacks were easy to perform.

Space Marine 2's Jump Pack is not like that. Jump Pack Dodges cost ability charges so they're almost never worth doing over a normal Dodge and the Slam Attack takes time to charge and execute. Furthermore, the PvE/Operations version of the Jump Pack has a significantly lower height cap compared to the version in PvP/Eternal War, making it feel very awkward even within the context of SM2 itself.

I came up with a rework that addresses these issues, but if that's not admissible for some reason, my feedback after fully leveling all of the classes is this: the Assault is the weakest class by a very wide margin and it's entirely because the Jump Pack does not feel good to use.

Assault def needs more verticality and range with the ground pound. I should be able to hop from most platforms to another one no problem with the class. Its supposed to be ASMs greatest strengths.
